Hi, I'm new to this forum. So a little bit about myself. My AOA is girls 6+ but it seems stronger for girls aged 8-12. I am a 30 something straight male with he/him pronouns

Like so many I was abused as a child by a family member. I don't know if it contributed to being attracted to minors. For me it started when I was a preteen wanting to see and look at girls my age. As I got older the aged of what I wanted to see varied a little but overall didn't change much.
I spent a long part of my early adult life depressed and disgusted of what I was. i would never hurt a real child but was always afraid of what people would think of me if they found out.

Unfortunately because of how society looks at people like us, I can never be truly "out", but I have learned to accepted that part of myself. I probably will always be attracted to young girls and that's okay. It's a part of myself that I have to keep hidden but it doesn't define me.

Anyways, I hope to be able to have good discussions with all of you. :)

Hi Larry, we are in very much the same situation as the gays were a few decades ago!

If we come out, we risk being abused, mistreated, rejected, and even hurt for something that is healthy regardless of what the intolerant say and think.

We have to try and find women, men, and children who understand us. The best way to do that is to find people who understood the struggle of gay people in the past.
