re: #237 zelnaga

Seems to me like some of the problem may stem from the fact that society, as a whole, is more condemning of girls who aren’t virgins than guys who aren’t virgins. ie. maybe priests are targeting young males more than young females because in doing so they believe what they’re doing isn’t as wrong as it could have been? Because they believe it won’t impact boys as much as it’d impact girls?

Or maybe girls are being targeted just as much as males and male sex abuse is just being reported more in the media because it has more of a “eww yuck” factor than female sex abuse?

No, many girls are also victims of sex crimes. More than boys in fact.

The central problem to understanding this is from the perspective of normal psychology. Thus we look for excuses, such as celibacy or social factors to explain this because we do not understand how the fixated pedophile thinks and we are trying to understand him. We must look from the perspective of abnormal psychology.

Bottom line, the fixated pedophile is attracted to children, period.
