    Most Child Molesters Are Not Pedophiles

    Uploaded by

    Most child molesters are not pedophiles. A pedophile is sexually fixated on children alone, while most child molesters who are not pedophiles can be sexually attracted to adults as well and may molest children opportunistically rather than due to a psychological disorder. Only a small minority of child molesters, estimated at 5-10%, are true pedophiles. While pedophilia is a psychological disorder, child molestation is a criminal act whether committed by a pedophile or not.

    Most Child Molesters Are Not Pedophiles

    Robert Lindsay

    To decide how many child molesters are pedophiles, first we need to


    define pedophile. In my opinion, the DSM definition is garbage and
    needs to be tossed.

    A pedophile is one who is sexually fixated on children. He primarily or


    exclusively gets off to kids and has little to no reaction to mature
    persons.

    As far as the 90-95% of men who molest children and are not
    pedophiles, they have no fixation on children as a sexual object. They
    have a strong or maximal sexual reaction to mature persons.
    Therefore they are not pedophiles. If you have a strong or maximal
    sexual reaction to mature persons, you cannot possibly be a pedophile.

    Pedophiles like kids. They don't like matures or adults. Period. That's
    the only definition that makes sense to me.

    I hate to sound like a man-hating gender feminist, but I know my


    gender very well. Men will try to have sex with anything. A woman, a
    teenage girl, a little girl, an old lady, a man, a teenage boy, maybe
    even a little boy if he's twisted enough. If it's got a hole, a guy will try
    to stick his penis in it. Sure, most men prefer a mature female, but a
    lot of them will pretty much try to have sex with about anything,
    especially if it's female.

    The non-pedophilic men who molest children are not some


    psychological species called pedophiles. They are just criminals. We
    have to stop using psychological disorders to label criminals. There is a
    tendency in the DSM to try to say that every criminal has a psychiatric
    disorder. This crazy. Crazy is one thing, bad and crooked is another.
    Leave it up to the law to delineate the varieties of criminals and keep
    the psychiatrists out of it.

    Pedophilia is a psychological disorder. It's just not normal to be only


    turned on by kids and not turned on at all by matures or adults. If you
    are, there is something wrong with your head. Pedophiles are not
    necessarily criminals. There are pedophiles who do not molest children
    for long periods of time, possibly forever. A pedophile is only a criminal
    when he breaks the law. His sexual orientation is not a crime.
    Child molestation is a crime. Some people who do this have a
    psychological disorder called pedophilia and most do not. Most of them
    are just criminals. They aren't crazy at all. They are simply people who
    don't care much about other people and take advantage of vulnerable
    people in order to use them sexually. They are sexual opportunists.
