“Not Offending Is Easy. The Double Life, the Secrets, the Loneliness Are the Hardest Parts I Needed Help with”: Understanding the Treatment Needs of People with Attractions to Children

New study came out a week ago.

Idk some of those teen girls be looking pretty as hell. Wouldn't exactly say that avoiding a relationship with them is "easy."

I also wouldn’t claim that not acting on my urges is “easy”. It’s a constant struggle for me that involves imperfect outlets.

Unfortunately, keeping my identity secret from most friends and family to avoid being ostracized drives me inward and makes it harder.

Bullet dodged.
If you think the teen girl won't break your heart you're crazy because she will 99% of the time.
Knowing the truth could make it a little easier.
Unless you plan on having 100 teen girlfriends, then you MIGHT meet Miss Right.

Better to have loved and lost than never loved at all?
Not always true. Teen girl can do a lot of damage for such a pretty little thing.

I feel you on that. I live in mortal terror of friends and family finding out. I sometimes think everyone can tell somehow.

On some level, I want to come out to them if only to find out who my “real” loved ones are.
