PedoPhillia
pedophilia is defined as sexual attraction (at various levels) to prepubescent children. Meaning if they have gone through puberty (normally 13 or older) it is not pedophilia.
Research is more and more strongly pointing to this be genetic trait. People are simply born this way. You can't control if you're gay or attracted children...so the argument goes.
I find this to be very scary. I fully back castration for repeat offenders.
But this brings to light several other debates. If homosexuals can not help how they are' then they should be able to safely explore their sexual behaviors with freedom. What about Paedophiliacs?
I think it crosses a line with a child is not able to consent.
My roommate though fully against pedophilia says "Well in most cases when the child feels dirty and ashamed when they get older in MOST sexual abuse cases. If it was done freely and with out shame would this change?"
I don't think so because I think the shame comes not from society but the fact they had not the ablity to consent. If given the choice a child may say "yes" or simply say nothing because they can not understand what is happening to them. Their brains are not developed to understand what the adult is actually requesting from them. Thus in later age they believe because they have the ability to reason they too have the ability to consent. They feel guilty and shame for allowing to it happen. Then for other anger and even hate for the person who took their will to consent away.
If pedophilia is natural then castration shouldn't be such a sensitive matter and drastic measurement. Simply put it shouldnt be seen as a last resort. If it indeed is natural then it should be in the line of defense for children. Three strikes your out.
