I have deviant thoughts about children. How do I stop them? I'm

thoughts are fine so long as you never act on them.

If you think you might then go see a therapist.

>>18019246
What would a therapist do? Legit question, not being sarcastic here.

>>18019251
A therapist can only violate confidentiality if they think someone will be harmed

And honestly, saying having pedo thoughts may make them think you will

Better channel your self-loathing into other things
Like exercise or an otherwise painful existence

>>18019257
I'd rather not. I'd rather get this off my back

>>18019310
Bad idea. The world will do anything to get you arrested.

>>18019226
Real children or just shota/loli/otherwise fantasy and not real?

>>18019311
Can I at least talk about it hear? It does make me feel a bit better to get it out there to someone.
>>18019313
Not children I know, but children in general. I know that's not what I'm oriented around, because when I think about it, children are gross. They don't know anything about hygiene, they're not very smart, or mature, they require a lot of attention and monitoring, and the whole idea of a kid's innocence being stripped away from them makes me sick, but these invasive thoughts push my sensibilities.They've never pushed them so much that I've ever acted on them, or even gave them serious consideration, but the ideas still persist. I usually try my best to avoid children in general, and keep my distance whenever possible.

Female or male children

>>18019356
Female

>>18019358
Do they have to be children or young women with childlike bodies can be a substitute
I mean like, is it the age or the frame that attracts you

>>18019362
I'm not sure what it is. Occasionally, I do search for porn of legal girls with smaller frames and younger looking features. If I were to make a guess though, I think the taboo nature of it contributes to the thoughts.

>>18019362
To add, my honest preference of sexual partner would be a girl who's slightly older than I am. Maybe two-three years older.

>>18019369
What ages are we talking about?
If you were given a chance to have sexual intercourse with a miner without dealing with consequences, lets say the sex tourism thing in south east asia thing, would you do it?

There's nothing wrong with having thoughts like this. I have thoughts of mass murdering people sometimes, but I'm not anywhere close to even begin to put any of it into action.

You shouldn't try to stop these thoughts as that usually has the opposite effect. You start to hate yourself more and emphasize how much of a problem these thoughts are, so you actually start having them more often. Best thing to do is to accept them as normal and let them pass. Eventually you'll probably stop having them as often, though I doubt they'll disappear completely.

>>18019378
Are you underage?

>>18019381
>What ages are we talking about?
I'd say early high school age. 12-14
>If you were given a chance to have sexual intercourse with a miner without dealing with consequences, lets say the sex tourism thing in south east asia thing, would you do it?
Probably not. I mean, I'd probably masturbate to the idea of it, but I know it'd be difficult to go through with it.

>>18019385
>You shouldn't try to stop these thoughts as that usually has the opposite effect
You got a point.

>>18019392
No. I'm 22.

>>18019406
>12-14
Most males are attracted to children of this age, whether they want to admit it or not. You're normal.

>>18019415
>You're normal.
I don't know. It still feels wrong to have these thoughts. But if you say so.

>>18019226
Kill yourself pedo.

Do You feel attracted like "omg, so cute, so soft, I just want to cuddle for years" or more "I WILL STICK MY PENIS IN THAT TIGHT PUSSY"?

>>18019440
What do you think OP means by "deviant thoughts" man?

In think you may be suffering from intrusive thoughts. I've had this for a while when i was around 15. They were mostly of sexual nature. That shit would drive me mad. But i learned that these thoughts are not reality and what they say is mostly false.

>>18019421
Nah it's not that uncommon

OP, you should read Lolita

OP here. I'm going to bed, but I wanted to thank you guys for your responses, and your different perspectives on my problem. I don't feel completely hopeless about my situation.

>>18019459
I'll do some research, and see a professional about it.
>>18019515
Well, it's classic literature. Wouldn't hurt.

>>18019561
I think a psychologist or therapist would be very sympathetic with you. They probably know better than anyone how many people have fucked up thoughts, maybe even including themselves.

There's a difference between just having thoughts and acting upon those thoughts and usually that's how authorities seem to define the difference between common folk and criminals. Sure, it seems like it would be easy to "just act on it" but don't be so sure. You most likely have a mental barrier that keeps you from acting upon them, especially seeing how you show concern toward these thoughts.
