Why Salon's Virtuous Pedophile is not so Virtuous
Breitbart ^ | 09/23/2015 | John Sexton

Posted on 09/23/2015 12:00:20 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Is there such a thing as a virtuous pedophile? That’s the claim made in a piece published Monday by Salon. But it’s worth asking just how virtuous the author really is.

This Salon think-piece by self-described pedophile Todd Nickerson is written in the form of a redemption story, except Nickerson swears up front he has never done anything at all needing redemption.

To confess a sexual attraction to children is to lay claim to the most reviled status on the planet, one that effectively ends any chance you have of living a normal life. Yet, I’m not the monster you think me to be. I’ve never touched a child sexually in my life and never will, nor do I use child pornography.

Note the verb tense of the final clause. Nickerson does not use child pornography, present tense. Did he ever? He doesn’t say, but he does admit to being a long-time member of a pedophile website which openly supported child molestation, something he describes with the euphemism “pro-contact.”

In the midst of that dark era in my life, I discovered an unhealthy pedophile forum. Nothing illegal was happening there, but many of its most influential members were pro-contacters, meaning they believed that sex with children was theoretically OK and supported the elimination of age of consent laws. That forum still exists and I won’t name it here, but suffice it to say, I found myself taking up the same pro-contacter chants, if only to feel like I belonged somewhere.

At this point the narrative becomes a little vague. Nickerson doesn’t reveal which chants he took up or when he became a vocal advocate for legalizing child molestation. He says the site he was part of still exists but won’t name it.

Is he attracted to "boy children," or "girl children?"

Me thinks it's "boy children."

Pedophiles = Homosexuals (99.9% of the time)

Trying to get this into the mainstream.

Unbelievable!

It’s called a “sexual orientation” and we should not discriminate on the basis of “sexual orientation”.

Some of them are just after children period.
Interchangeably.

If he is sexually attracted to children, sooner or later he will molest one. The urge is just too strong to be denied forever.

Salon called the Bible a mythical book just the other day. They dont even try to hide their colors.

I come home every morning to the three parking spots in front of my house taken. I have had a horrific temper since I can remember.

So by the born this way thinking, I should be able to go out there and smash all the windows with a baseball bat.

What’s more important? Three car windows or me being allowed to be who I was born to be?

Sometimes I yell out “what’s wrong with the spots in front of your own houses” but that’s it :)

He was molested by an older man, but he says the first attraction he felt was to a young girl. So it’s anybody’s guess, I suppose.

I notice at many companies, when you look at their “Diversity” page, they list that they don’t discriminate based on “sexual orientation”.

So, does that mean these companies will hire a person in an admitted “intergenerational relationship”?

They would have to, to be consistent, right? To show they don’t discriminate and to show that #LoveWins, right?

I can’t believe that. People have a choice.

That said, it probably can’t be done on his own. He needs Christ.

“In the midst of that dark era in my life, I discovered an unhealthy pedophile forum.”

Is he implying there are healthy pedophile forums?

That’s just my observation from having practiced criminal law for over 30 years, both prosecution and defense. No primal drive is stronger or more persistent than the sexual one.

I've never heard of someone writing an apologetic defense for something that they've only THOUGHT about doing.

Virtuous? No. A physiological sense of arousal is meaningless in the absence of recognition. Theoretically anyone cab be attracted to anything in that recognizable lines or shapes or qualities can serve to trigger arousal as easily as the cues that God intended to do so. An ACTIVE response is necessary to complete the circuit. THAT is the point that steps are taken toward perversion and deviation. If an avarage person got hit on the head by a coconut and woke up the next day and sensed physical arousal in the direction of children he would...what? Feel perfectly fine following this new thread in fantasy. I doubt it. He might be horrified and scared and appalled but he would be a long long way from happily toddleing along after a new persuit. Every normal man alive NATURALLY thinks at least subconciously that any gorgeous well developed 15 year old girl is sexy. Most men simply don’t dwell on it. Those that do will in time begin to twist. There is no way to be sexualy obsessed and be virtuous since thinking about it is active participation.

Just pushing the envelope into the “new civil rights movement.”

I’m a pedophile, but not a monster (redefining deviancy alert)

-SNIP-

"I’ve been stuck with the most unfortunate of sexual orientations, a preference for a group of people who are legally, morally and psychologically unable to reciprocate my feelings and desires. It’s a curse of the first order, a completely unworkable sexuality, and it’s mine."

It reminds me of when people told me that Howard Stern had never run around on his wife.
