Why do the Abrahamic religions hate the female body so much?

And that's why the is-ought problem is a thing. Sadly, due to the taboo that's rightly emerged around pedophilia, we don't know what proportion of adults attracted to minors have the good sense to not act on their urges. We know they exist (and composer Benjamin Britten was apparently one) and there are at least three online groups of Refusing-to-act pedophiles: Virtuous Pedophiles, another one, and yet another one that a friend of a penpal is a member of.

The sad thing is, there's a big Catch-22 surrounding this whole dilemma; we have a huge taboo around it, because, well, do we have to explain why raping children is a bad thing that should be discouraged? However, this taboo leads to those who want to not offend being silenced out of a risk of being branded a child molester. And if you do offend, get caught, and see the error of your ways and want to reform, if/when you come out, you'll be put on a registry that severely hampers your ability to build a new life, and in many cases, keeps you from even finding a home, and, well, to quote an article from Cracked: "So you take a guy who's committed a crime. Now you put him on a registry that may keep him from getting a job, or making friends, generally just totally isolating him for the rest of his life and giving him lots of free time. Do you think that makes him less likely to commit another crime?" For a good dramatisation of this dilemma, see The Woodsman.

Once again, I have to emphasise that I have no fucking idea how common these types are among pedophiles. Are they just aberrations within an aberration? Are they common? The stuff we have to do to answer those questions is not really an option.
