It is socially perilous to tell people that you are attracted to children?

I told my best friend I was a gay pedophile - he said "How long have I known you, ive known forever, he was totally cool with it

You got VERY lucky. If that was a hardcore anti you coulda got FUCKED, so you won the lottery imho...

Find a therapist who specializes in sexuality, I found one and he's been very helpful and understanding. And as many people here say, you shouldn't tell anyone unless you're 100% sure that they're going to understand. I told my parents because I was really depressed and they still support me.
