This is what is said about DIAGNOSING pedophilia.Vuelo Eluko wrote:

"sexual perversion" does not just refer simply to attraction, even the google definition which isn't very useful nor is it the medical definition doesn't make that claim.
"According to the DSM-5, in order for pedophilia to be diagnosed clinically, such thoughts and behaviours must cause distress or interpersonal hardship to the affected individual or cause distress, injury, or death to persons who are unwilling or unable to consent to sexual behaviors."
Meanwhile, pedophilia is defined as "a sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object"
There's a difference between definitions and diagnoses. I don't really understand your statement though, so let me respond to the other way that I interpreted it; I never said that perversions only refers to the attraction.
"perversion noun
per·ver·sion | \ pər-ˈvər-zhən, -shən\
Definition of perversion
1 : the action of perverting : the condition of being perverted
2 : a perverted form
especially : an aberrant sexual practice or interest especially when habitual"
There should be no shame in being sexually attracted to prepubescent children??? Are you serious?? I am so confused as to what point you're trying to get across. Just so you know, we are talking about "pedophilia." The attraction to PREPUBESCENT children. B1rd and I were mostly talking about people's attraction towards postpubescent teens, and how it is sometimes unavoidable. As long as you realize that it's not okay and try and suppress those feelings, you'll be fine. There is nothing natural about being attracted to prepubescent children. That's why it's classified as a Psychiatric disorder.Vuelo Eluko wrote:
It's a pretty common thing but no one talks about it, and did you know a lot of women experience sexual pleasure when breastfeeding? The body is just like that. There should be no shame in it.
Also, did you really just compare breastfeeding to pedophilia? When women get stimulation from breastfeeding, it's because women's breasts/nipples are an erogenous zone. Not because they are sexually attracted to the baby. Don't compare the two.
