Can pedophilia develop from porn addiction?

[pedo233]

I'm a 20 year old male and I consider myself a pedophile. I have a sexual preference for girls 13 or younger. I wasn't always attracted to them. Before I was 16, I had a sexual preference for adult women. I began masturbating and having sexual fantasies when I was 11 and they were about adult women. I would go on porn sites when I was 12 or 13 and I would masturbate to MILF porn and women with big breasts and butts.

When I was 16, I started to look at porn actresses who had small breasts and butts, and I masturbated to them and eventually became attracted to them. I later discovered loli hentai and I became attracted to lolis.

I've told people this story, they claim that porn didn't change my preferences, I was always a pedophile but just didn't discover it until I was 16. Is this true?

This is something I've asked myself. what I always ask myself is. Was I already a pedophile who repressed his desires so much he had never thought about them. Or did seeing a child in a sexual way, then flip a switch and turn me into a pedophile. Truth is I'll probably never know. I just know I am now. And have to deal with it. I've done very well in handling my porn addiction but my attraction to little girls still remain.

How did you handle your porn addiction?

I don't think porn causes it but it can I think make someone aware of parts of themselves they weren't aware of before.

I saw a program once where a gay man said he always felt different and struggled with relationships, especially the sexual side of relationships. Then in his 20s he discovered the gay community and gay porn and after going through a period of shock and self disgust the pieces fell into place, he was gay. It wasn't the porn or community that turned him gay but it was the community and porn that made him realise since before then he had never been exposed to gay relationships or community or porn. I've heard that is also common in communities such as some strict religious communities where gays "don't exist". Of course they do, some realise they are gay and just can't be gay while others never realise it at all. I don't know if it's still true but I heard in Russia there are no gay men either, same reason, I expect it's more relaxed now.

I'm 20 and I am a MAP, im probably a pedophile or a hebephile, i find girls who are 13 or younger the most attractive. Generally i find childlike features to be sexually arousing.

Before I was 16 I had a preference for adult women. I remember i would go on porn sites and look at milf porn or women that had big breasts and butts. I generally liked women who had a thick and curvy body type. I remember i would fantasize about my aunt. I didnt really find childlike features attractive.

When I was 16 I looked at porn actresses that had small breasts and butts. I remember one of them had pretty face. I remember I wasn't attracted to her that much at first but I became more and more attracted to her after masturbating to her videos. There were a few videos in particular of her i really liked, because she was oiled up in them, and I thought it was arousing.

Eventually I became attracted to women with this body type, and I discovered loli hentai shortly after (basically, porn of anime girls that look like children). It was the same process: I wasnt really attracted to it at first but I became more and more attracted to it.

My fantasies began to change. I wasnt thinking about adult women as much anymore. I was thinking about preteen girls. I slowly lost interest in adult women and I began to prefer girls that had small breasts, small butts, cute faces, no pubic or body hair, etc.

Nowadays I cant even feel attracted to adult women unless they have childlike features. I feel more aroused looking at preteen girls. When I look at women I used to masturbate to when I was 12-15, I get turned off looking at them now.

Most people have told me that porn didn't change my preferences and that I was always a pedophile but didn't discover it until I was 16. Is this true?

Haven't you said the same multiple times?

Besides, you can be a MAP AND be addicted to porn. In fact it's a quite common cause for MAPness. And as I told you before, the "you are born with your attraction" mindset is extremely flawed. Most sexual preferences develop with time, society, environment, exposure and even trauma sometimes. But this isn't bad and they shouldn't be shunned because of that.

If you like underage girls, you are a MAP, no matter how did you develop that attraction in the first place.
