Is pedophilia the most taboo paraphilia?

[pedo233]

I saw a survey and there were more people who admitted having sexual fantasies about animals than children below 12. Only 1-3% of men report to have sexual attraction to children below 12. I saw in a survey only 3% reported to have any sexual attraction to girls 15 and below. Something is really off about this.

Additionally, there is a subreddit on reddit called r/morbidquestions, people discuss things like necrophilia or zoophilia all the time, but posts about pedophilia aren't allowed. Is pedophilia considered the most taboo paraphilia?

It's the one with the heaviest laws and punishments, and sure, it's a banned topic almost everywhere, even on twitter or other platforms where actual nazi content or calls for violence are rampant. It sometimes feels like freedom of speech has an exception on pedophilia for some reason.

According to any anecdotal, common sense and empirical evidence I have access to, yes. It may be contentious with nepiophilia, but they're about equal.

I'm not sure what you mean, below 12 seems fair enough. Below 15 I'd probably expect some more, but I think the primary attraction is 15-17 which seems over like 30%.

Neither of those are contenders, zoophilia is much more common and obviously less taboo since it's an animal and not a human, so the harm isn't cared about as much. Not only that, but it includes fully developed animals rather than baby animals, which gives some more ambiguity to how harmful it may actually be.

Necrophilia, I mean they're dead. They can't be hurt. A child can.

A lot of Zoophilia involves young animals.

Oftentimes, furries and otherkin also adopt the persona of a young animal - gays sometimes pretend to be juvenile dogs to engage in sexual fantasies based on submission.

yes

I would think necrophilia is

It depends what you mean.
Is it publicly the most taboo or is it privately the most taboo?

Publicly, it's going to be one of the most taboo, I'd think alongside necrophilia and beastiality.
Privatly, I think it's less taboo than necrophilia and beastiality.

It's like when the Sun newspaper used to have articles about how pedophilies should be hung, then on the same page some article about 15 year old Emma Watson is days away from being legal. People have no problem with the idea of pedophiles being the worst at the same time as young underage girls being sexy and masturbation material. Adverts for adult school uniforms, swinging clubs having school theme nights, teen porn selling like crazy and at the same time, the people involved in all of that nodding when asked if pedophiles are the worst.

There are online ageplay forums where women pretend to be little preteen girls and enact sexual roleplays with adult men, and if anyone uses the pedophile word then they're instantly kicked. There's no space for pedophiles, they get in the way of roleplaying child sex fantasies.

There's a reason that big earning porn stars look so young, there's a reason that the porn industry is very heavily weighted towards young actresses.

That's the strange world we live in. I think in private, pedophile isn't such a taboo idea, but publicly it's the most taboo.
It would be like in Germany in 30s, Germans probably had Jewish friends and work colleagues and they didn't hate them, but when the state made the idea of Jews so taboo, people publicly just instinctively turned against them for self preservation.

Excellent response - it's as if the taboo is on the word "pedophilia" and acknowledging it rather than the state of being turned on by the idea of children.

The fantasy of an adult woman eroticising childhood "innocence" is reserved entirely for consenting adult women. Almost as if it were a power game against children - a celebration and protection of their lesser status.

It is the age gap that makes it "pedophilic", and not the fantasy itself.

I think so, but being sexually attracted to fully mature adolescents is considered normal and acceptable, as well as ageplay, but being sexually attracted to children is rare which is why people hate pedophiles. I have a sexual preference for women with small breasts and butts and I'm attracted to preteen girls. My preference is rare, only 1-2% of men have my preference, its less common than homosexuality.

Additionally people think if it involves consenting adults then theres nothing wrong with it. But maybe when you read those articles people didn't stigmatize pedophilia as much back then. I saw on Reddit people were talking about a subreddit dedicated to porn actresses that have small breasts and butts and wearing pigtails, people in the comment section were saying the users of that subreddit should be beheaded, castrated with a knife, etc. This was only a few months ago.

Is it though?
What do you mean by mature adolescents exactly? How do you define that?
Where do you get the 1-2% statistic from when there isn't any consensus on what that figure is? I've hear everything from 1% to 33% quoted and even higher. It's such a taboo subject that it's impossible to get anything even close to an accurate figure.
