Re: Mu Reviews: Real Journalism by Karl Andersson

...I argue that this is still an inherently exploitative practice and supply and demand does not justify exploitation. Andersson does not explicitly make this argument in his work, but it is embedded in the idea of exchanging services for money. Capitalism as a whole is inherently exploitative, but ...

Re: Are chronophilias a continuum or discrete?


I find a high level of congruence in traits such as the voice, face, smooth skin, flexibility, boldness... of boys up to early puberty. And later I might find the sporadic body hair and the body shape hot. The attraction is to different features as the person grows up. I'm not particularly ...

Re: Why some men become pedos


I think some men end up becoming maps/pedophiles due to trauma from bullying they experienced as a child especially if they were virgin shamed while their classmates were having sex and they weren't and when they become adults they wish they could go back and experience what they never had and ...

Re: A slight rant about oppression of the voice of youth activists

Adults only use youth activism when it benefits their populist organizations. They allow them to speak at the UN and other public venues. Critics use their age to accuse them of incompetence. But no one says their standard mantra that "their brain is not yet developed and they are not able to ...

Re: Antis confusing views on “CSA” and “hebephillia” and “ephebophillia”


I am truly infuriated with the idea that an adult attraction to minors is intrinsically inappropriate and the de-valuing of sexual/romantic pleasure felt by adults and minors alike) but given that teenagers are biologically adapted to reproduce (spermarche apparently being considered delayed if ...

Re: Open secret



I suppose it depends on what changes culturally to cause AMSC to become legal. If it's largely a change in how we view children and their ability to consent, the ethical issues around studying children regarding their ability to consent to studies would probably relax as well. If it's caused by a ...

Re: Cross-wiring theory


How do you feel about the following theory by James Cantor?


Cantor found that the brains of the paedophiles he studied were wired differently to non-paedophiles - something he describes as effectively a "cross-wiring" of the brain. "It's as if, in these people, when they perceive a child, it's ...

Re: What's your view of evolutionary origins of MA?


I'm sure you'll be familiar with the view that pedophilia is evolutionarily advantageous because it makes reproduction happen as quickly as possible. However, strictly speaking this can explain hebephilia, but not actual pedophilia (i.e. attraction to pre-pubescents). For a while I was of the view ...

Re: What counts as "pro-contact"?


The pro-contact stance is the pro-choice stance. Not sure what is confusing you, but neither i nor anyone else has been arguing in favor of anything non-consensual

When outsiders hear that some MAP person is "Pro-contact", for them it may sound like "I want to permit myself sex." This can create ...
