It depends on to whom and if you're willing to risk this particular and connected relationships to the rather slim chance of being somewhat accepted by that person and to have the relief of your own openness. Make no mistake, no one will ever be able to relate to your experience as a fellow pedophile. It's your decision and you'll have to make it alone.

I wouldn't do it. This is the curse we have to live with quietly and something to keep in mind is once you say the words you can never take them back. The therapist will write it down and even if they take it well others in the future may not. It's something no will understand and you will be treated differently. I'm sorry friend, it's torture but it's the world we live in. There's too much hate and misunderstanding towards our kind. If you must, you best think really hard on who. If you have a best friend maybe them but it could destroy that relationship. I refuse to tell my best friend do to her past trauma and knowing I'll lose that connection.

I've only come out to one member of my family because I know he would be supportive. My ex-mom? Hell fucking no! She'd have me burned alive at the stake for a family BBQ if she found out!
KNOW who you're coming out to! If you get a strong feeling they might not be supportive, don't. Trust me, your life might be a nightmare for not coming out, but coming out could turn out to be a living hell AND a nightmare.

I just don't understand this urge most people have for acceptance from others for their actions or preferences. Why do you need approval from anyone to be something, love someone etc ... Whatever happened to self sovereignity! Go where you want, love who you want! You have to realize that you live in a free world, people do as they please, they take what they want, there's no "guiding hand" out there except the one's others CHOOSE to impose on you. You can choose not to follow!
I think more people ought to read texts like "The Ego and His Own" by Max Stirner.
