Hi. New here.

I don't even remember how I stumbled upon this forum, but we'll see if I'm going to be happy about it, or regret it. I have been attracted to prepubescent girls since as far back as I can remember. I guess my attractions just never changed from when I was prepubescent myself, until now, and I'm almost 60. I have spent my entire life pretending to be normal. I'm married, have two kids, and two grandsons. I have never had sexual contact with a minor, however I fantasize regularly about it.
I have no desire to harm children, however I wish there was more understanding in society, that as much as there are adults, who are sexually attracted to children, there are children who are sexually attracted to adults. I have seen it, and felt it in fleeting interactions with children of varying ages. I can accept that society wants to protect children, but society needs to understand that, so do I, but I don't think it's fair to stimey the feelings and attractions held by those children, by making them feel like they will get in trouble, or be looked down on by their elders for having them.
No one is responsible for the feelings that they have. People of all ages, just feel what they feel. I can no more stop being attracted to children, then some children can stop being attracted to adults. Society needs to realize that not all pedophiles are monsters and child abusers. We're just people who happen to have less than common sexual attractions. The fact remains, that the majority of sexual assaults perpetrated against children, are perpetrated by people who aren't even pedophiles. They're predators who target children because they are weak and vulnerable, and those people are themselves weak and cowardly, and use their physical power over children to make themselves feel powerful.
Society needs to learn the difference between a pedophile, and a sexual predator. They're not the same!
