A pertinent question.

When you see a girl or a boy—a baby, a toddler, or a slightly older child—and you feel love, admiration, and sexual desire for her. Then you see someone else looking at that same child and saying they don’t see anything special about her, that they find it unimaginable to feel sexual desire for her. What leads to this understanding? Some would say, how can you look at a girl in diapers, or wearing a short dress, and feel desire for her?

maybe some individuals like us see adorability and cuteness, and our brain is hardwired to be sexually or romantically interested in stuff like that somehow, I guess its a matter of circumstances and accident not accident as in something bad but something that impacted our developement while we were in the womb of our mothers, I think that's what Cantor was and still is trying to say, and in some ways I think it exists in every man because men like neotenous, childlike feautures in women because they're percieved to be more attractive that way but thats I guess heightened in us but then again thats just what I think and I might be wrong and overlaping multiple things into one

I have given up trying to understand why people don't, or won't comprehend that we have these attractions because we were born with them, just like they were born with theirs. We didn't choose to be born MAP's, any more than someone chooses to be born gay, or straight. We are what we are, and we are attracted to what we're attracted to. It's as simple as that.
