T"his is not an obsession. It is my sexual orientation. I am attracted to children. I remember it from at least as far back at 12. Fist you say you respect those of us, like me, who can control ourselves and not molest kids. Now you think I'm scary. Which is it, am I admirable or scary?"


I guess I'm in between. I'm scared of you because of what you're attracted to, but I admire that you're not acting on it. After I read what I wrote I realized I was a bit closed minded with the obsession comment. But you are attracted to men and women? I guess I never thought that a person who is attracted to the youth would also be attracted to an adult. What is it about the youth that you're attracted to? I've never been attracted to someone I couldn't go to a bar with.

"Also I don't see how repressing your sexuality will make you change into another one."

Have you ever met a person at your church who you KNOW is gay, but they're married with kids? Maybe I shouldn't have used the word change, but rather repressed sexuality will manifest itself in another sexual way. As a child I was around gay people all the time, but I went to Catholic school and being gay meant going to hell. I didn't want to go to hell, and my parents were very open to any lifestyle, but the brainwashing that the church did was hard core. I was so scared that I was attracted to both boys and girls, and that I was a bad person. As a result of all that repression from the church (and other factors) I slept around with boys even though I wanted to snuggle into some boobs. When I grew older I realized that it was okay to be me, and that I shouldn't care what others think. I had my sexual affairs with the ladies, and met my fiance, who is a male.

"...In fact suppressing them would be more dangerous. It would make acting on them much more likely."

This I agree with 100%.
