Is Paedophilla always wrong? Should it be legalised?

By that logic logophilia can also mean sexual activity with words

Not that I agree with paedophilia at all, however, if being homosexual is no longer considered a mental illness then why is paedophilia?

I invite you to do your best with that one - but given that words are intangible I don't expect you'll have much fun that way.

You can try to twist these concepts as much as you like, but the common understanding of them is clear enough.

Paedophillia is prevalent in the bible and occurs in Middle Eastern countries. Also we've become accepting of all sorts of bizarre sexual orientations- homosexuality, asexuality, necrophillia and beastiality. The fact these are all accepted as the norm these days in society raises a quietly controversial question- should our views on Paedophillia change?

Yes, it should be treated more as a mental illness.

No, it should'nt be legalised.

Yes, lets legalise sexual abuse of children. Plonker.

I've not had sex with men or women or a trans individual or a third gender individual or an agender individual, but I am pansexual despite not having actually acted on this. That is my sexual orientation.

Sexuality is a combination of sexual orientation, paraphillias, fetishes, sexual behaviours etc.

Without paedophilia, would we have sexual child abuse?

Legalisation is not applicable in the sense you're using it, as it's merely a sexual attraction.
The entire emphasis of stigmatisation should be placed on actions.

Paedophiles are normal people. They care about children like you or me. Most will never actually abuse a child as they know it is wrong.

You have such an annoyingly angry tone. Do not be condescending. I know what it means. I said illegal is based on something that is deemed wrong, thus making it illegal.



I'm not under impressions. Like you just did, I googled to be sure and it said enjoying it as a hobby.

I was on about pedos acting out their sick fantasies. Sooner or later they do eventually. Bye PLONKER No.2

The legality of paedophilia is merely not applicable, and if anything, it shouldn't be made illegal, as it is merely a sexual attraction.
Why do people always confuse sexual attractions with sexual behaviour?

So yes, society's views should change; paedophilia should be legalised (if it is not legal already.)

And since when has necrophilia or bestiality for that matter been accepted?

Read above; your premise is wrong.

This is merely a post regarding semantics.
I won't say "normal" because I use "normal" in a very statistical sense, that "normal" is dictated by majority.
(With a slight emphasis on what is traditional.)

Ah, I mean that absolutely anyone can be a paedophile. They could be famous or a benefit scrounger, they could be a teacher, doctor, builder, or priest. There is no way to identify a paedophile in the real world from their everyday actions. Hence all paedophiles are normal people who do not stand out from the crowd.

You're the one that's twisting definitions!
I was just pointing out the flaw in your logic.
You said it yourself that paedo means child and philia means love/attraction so there for paedophilia is simply an attraction towards children. In no way does that suggest that intercourse is being had with those children.
That is a blatant strawman.
Just because you chose a definition of necrophilia that involves intercourse (There are many that don't by the way) doesn't mean you can apply that definition to paedophilia as well because then you would have to apply it to all other words that end in philia. Hence my above reply

I see nothing inherently harmful with being attracted to children.

Of course, breaking the law and having sex with a person below the age of consent is, and should be, illegal. The two are not the same though. People can not help what arouses them, and it seems fairest to judge people by what they choose to do, not what they cannot prevent themselves wanting.

It was fairly clear that I was talking about sexual attraction, and I've already stated that I do not see that as inherently harmful, you stating to the contrary isn't overly convincing.

What is inherently harmful about being sexually aroused by children, on its own? Who is harmed by that?

I agree, that it can lead to harmful acts, but it needn't.

I don't recall using the word, actually. If you want to keep putting words into my mouth, by all means continue, but I'd really prefer you didn't.

This is total *******s. I don't know what drug you are using, or what your agenda is, but there is nothing normal about paedophilia, and the clear definition of that term is that it includes the possibility of sexual contact with children.

As far as making claims as to paedophilia only involving the mental element, the mens rea, and that actual contact with children is required, this again is a false assertion. In the UK it is illegal to make any expression that depicts children in sexual activities - ie writing down fantasies or making drawings.

I'm actually losing faith in humanity being on the internet and reading these questions and opinions.
No matter if you support homosexuality or not, at least two adult men/two adult women are choosing to sleep together and not being forced into something which they don't wish to do. Asexuals also are choosing to not persue something that they don't want to do either. But peodophiles finding children attractive is just sick and disgusting, and i don't understand how it can be questionable and not make you want to vom. Children aren't sexually mature and they don't want to be having sex. So for them to be viewed in a crude way is just disgusting and not respecting them, and to act on it is rape, as it is against their will. So yeah definitely something that should be made legal, great idea.

So glad you agree.... I previously said this. But everyone seemed to think I was mad, this is why pedophilia is becoming so common, because of people like this who consider it to be normal. Makes me mad.
