A pedophile is one who sexualizes/objectifies a non-sexual child. A pederast likes the young sexual person who is first starting to figure out what it’s all about. So the pederast is one who “persuades” the malleable person to be gay.
And as long as our society is offering hetero and homo as equally valid persuasions, the pederast’s job is made easy. As long as younger and younger ages are considered to have sexual “rights”, desires, etc, the pederast’s job is made easier.
Am I understanding that correctly?
Travis, I have to tell you how much I respect and appreciate you for dealing with this. As you think about your own experience, is there any advice you would have for those of us who deal with boys, teens, and adults who are confused, have been groomed, or who have been sexually violated?
The pederast is the necessary bridge between adult homosexuals and vulnerable adolescent males.
That's why the sodomites want the word expunged.
Greek has several words for love
eros is sexual love - pederasty is derived from this word
philos is brotherly love - whence pedophilia but of course it is a euphemism.
agape is Godly love
butterdezillion - I have come across a 4th distinction - that the pederast acts on his desires while the pedophile has the desires but may not act? I wasn’t quite sure what you meant by “sexualizes/objectifies a non-sexual child.”
