Paedophilia: bringing dark desires to light (normalizing pedophilia)
UK Guardian ^ | 1/2/13 | Hohn Henley

Posted on 01/07/2013 10:06:13 AM PST by Clint N. Suhks

The Jimmy Savile scandal caused public revulsion, but experts disagree about what causes paedophilia - and even how much harm it causes

In 1976 the National Council for Civil Liberties, the respectable (and responsible) pressure group now known as Liberty, made a submission to parliament's criminal law revision committee. It caused barely a ripple. "Childhood sexual experiences, willingly engaged in with an adult," it read, "result in no identifiable damage … The real need is a change in the attitude which assumes that all cases of paedophilia result in lasting damage."

It is difficult today, after the public firestorm unleashed by revelations about Jimmy Savile and the host of child abuse allegations they have triggered, to imagine any mainstream group making anything like such a claim. But if it is shocking to realise how dramatically attitudes to paedophilia have changed in just three decades, it is even more surprising to discover how little agreement there is even now among those who are considered experts on the subject.

A liberal professor of psychology who studied in the late 1970s will see things very differently from someone working in child protection, or with convicted sex offenders. There is, astonishingly, not even a full academic consensus on whether consensual paedophilic relations necessarily cause harm.

So what, then, do we know? A paedophile is someone who has a primary or exclusive sexual interest in prepubescent children. Savile appears to have been primarily an ephebophile, defined as someone who has a similar preferential attraction to adolescents, though there have been claims one of his victims was aged eight.

But not all paedophiles are child molesters, and vice versa: by no means every paedophile acts on his impulses, and many people who sexually abuse children are not exclusively or primarily sexually attracted to them.

This is what is next on the prog agenda once the homo normalization fight is won. It will begin with a "grassroots" assault on Age of Consent Laws.

Unless something changes, they will win this fight too.

All part of the commie agenda/manifesto.

Rule # 26 (among others)
Present homosexuality and promiscuity as normal and healthy.

The "desensitizing" of the sheeple continues.

experts disagree about what causes paedophilia...

Here's the deal. Women are women. They look, smell, and have hair like women. Girls are girls. They look, smell, and have no hair like girls. Girls are beautiful for all sorts of reasons, but when they turn into women, the magic begins. A male cannot be a real man until he loves or makes love to a woman, and loves her for the woman, rather than the girl, she is. Hope that clears things up, try the veal, tip your waiter.

There’s nothing normal in paedophilia. All paedophiles should be taken to the nearest gallows.

Jimmy Savile preyed on dying patients at a hospice, cops have found.

There are only three good things about overt and unapologetic degeneracy in a decadent culture.

First is that this usually signals the imminent demise of the decadent culture; it is too depleted or conflicted to survive for more than a few decades at most.

Second is that collapse and rebirth is usually accompanied with a shortened roster of participants.

The third is that cycles tend to be long.

NAMBLA has been lobbying for a long time to lower legal age it causes “lots of legal issues to its members and their chosen lifestyles”.

We said this would happen when they tried to normalize homosexuality. When you normalize one mental illness it opens the door to normalizing others.

This is so sick and demented on so many levels? Can they sink any lower?

Well of course they can and will.

Its not about love.

Its about lust, power, and destruction of innocence.

I always tell these sick liberals who still pretend to oppose pedophilia that I can get them to fess up to their support for sexual activity involving children. I then ask them if they support laws that dismiss sex between two minors, and ask them if they support handing out condoms and other birth control methods to children.

In your example you assumed the situation of adult women vs. little girls, and men as the partner. This movement definitely involves men buggering little boys as well.

Hey, if people from other countries in here illegally stealing jobs can be turned into sympathetic heroes, I guess child molesters are next.

What the hell is this article even talking about, regarding “consensual” relationships with children? The 8 year old makes a decision to have sex with an adult?
