Ok, let me just get something straight- i'm not questioning if I have been born a paedo, nor if anyone else I know has been born a paedo.
Right,
Some people argue that you are born straight, gay or asexual. Other people argue that your childhood influences your sexual orientation. Paedophiles have a sexual attraction to kids, the same way a man may have a sexual attraction to a woman.
So are paedophiles born as paedophiles? Could it be spotted from a young age? You wouldn't want a little paedophile running round your house would you?
I know you have to be at least 16 to be classed as one, but with some kids you can tell if they are going to be gay or asexual when they grow up. Can a person be influenced in their childhood to end up a paedo? (Surely if you kept telling your child it's OK to have sexual relationships with kids then they wouldn't think it was a bad thing?)
This is a genuine question btw. I'm wondering why people end up as paedos. It's a sexual attraction to children, the same way you can have a sexual attraction to men or women. Do people just 'end up' as a paedo? Like when a gay person discovers they are gay, does a paedophile discover they are a paedo (Do they not try to fight it?)
As I say, i'm not trolling. With all the stuff lately in the press i'm just wondering about it. I'm probably missing something that explains it all, or there is a simple answer.
