Prevalence of minor-attraction among normative men

Post by Artaxerxes II »

This thread will function as a repository for any and all studies studying the prevalence of minor attraction among normal men, like the following one:
1-4% of normal men in a German survey experience pedophilic attraction: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26241201/
In an online survey of 8,718 German men, 4.1% reported sexual fantasies involving prepubescent children, 3.2% reported sexual offending against prepubescent children, and 0.1% reported a pedophilic sexual preference. Sexual fantasies involving prepubescent children were positively related to sexual offending against prepubescent children. Sexual interest in children was associated with subjectively perceived need for therapeutic help. In contrast to findings from forensic samples, men who reported child pornography use exclusively were identified as a subgroup differing from contact sexual offenders against prepubescent children and men who reported both child pornography use and contact sexual offenses against prepubescent children.
