Pedophilia

[notimportant1234]

Well finally, we are getting somewhere. It took us two pages.

You can't say that social pressure doesn't really affect this, I mean you could just walk in to a hospital, tell a doctor and he could respond "just kill yourself".
What is important in this matter is the attitude towards pedophilia, are people willing to help someone who seeks help or not?

Really? The practicing MD is going to tell the pedophile to kill himself rather than do his job? He would risk his license to practice as well as the life of a potential child victim? What about 911? Suicide hot lines? The local PD? No. You don’t get to blame a pedophile’s actions on society’s appropriate attitude toward child rape. I mean, what’s you’re suggested solution here?

Now, if you really had read my posts from the beginning, I didn't imply that we should have a positive outlook on child rape. What I sayed? How do we tackle the problem of prevention, because from what I see, at least in my country, people are concentrating on the after only. 

And about the blame part, if I would have made a thread about free will, a lot of you would have sayed it is childish, now that we are tackling a more emotional driven topic, everybody chooses the hell out of his live.

I doubt therapy is adequate at helping these people, and (from what I've seen on psychforums, if it's any indication) pedophiles tend to rationalize their urges rather than seek help for it.

I think what is needed as a solution to address an issue like this is technology not yet available (something similar to the stuff in A Clockwork Orange). Radical but a necessity in this case.

I think that virtual reality could help and it is not that far away.
