It took me a while to dig this out, but I finally found it. Probably the best explanation of why homophobes are so ignorant of the matter.

Facts About Homosexuality and Child Molestation

Another problem related to terminology arises because sexual abuse of male children by adult men is often referred to as "homosexual molestation." The adjective "homosexual" (or "heterosexual" when a man abuses a female child) refers to the victim's gender in relation to that of the perpetrator. Unfortunately, people sometimes mistakenly interpret it as referring to the perpetrator's sexual orientation.

As an expert panel of researchers convened by the National Academy of Sciences noted in a 1993 report: "The distinction between homosexual and heterosexual child molesters relies on the premise that male molesters of male victims are homosexual in orientation. Most molesters of boys do not report sexual interest in adult men, however" (National Research Council, 1993, p. 143, citation omitted).

To avoid this confusion, it is preferable to refer to men's sexual abuse of boys with the more accurate label of male-male molestation. Similarly, it is preferable to refer to men's abuse of girls as male-female molestation. These labels are more accurate because they describe the sex of the individuals involved but don't implicitly convey unwarranted assumptions about the perpetrator's sexual orientation.

The distinction between a victim's gender and a perpetrator's sexual orientation is important because many child molesters don't really have an adult sexual orientation. They have never developed the capacity for mature sexual relationships with other adults, either men or women. Instead, their sexual attractions focus on children – boys, girls, or children of both sexes.

Over the years, this fact has been incorporated into various systems for categorizing child molesters. For example, Finkelhor and Araji (1986) proposed that perpetrators' sexual attractions should be conceptualized as ranging along a continuum – from exclusive interest in children at one extreme, to exclusive interest in adult partners at the other end.

I hope this article succeeds in educating the uneducated of this forum.

Which begs the question, Howey: Why did you yourself have to research this, if you weren't "ignorant of the matter", hmmf? :badgrin:
 
There will always be those who desperately hang on to their ignorance.

And, apparently, a lot of them post here.
 
I can easily prove there is zero difference a homo and a pedophile. .... :doubt:


If a man is molesting a 17 yr. old boy the liberals insist the guy is a pedophile not a homo.

But if the next day the boy has a birthday and is now 18 and the same guy has sex with him.

Now the man is considered a homo.
 
If it is a 17year old boy, then he most likely is a pedohile. Children without being fully developed is what pedophiles aim for. Gay men want other gay MEN.
 
No, I just think it the bad thing to do to label everyone into a neat little box. There are many pedophiles...males abusing female little girls...males abusing little boys...women abusing little girls or boys...they are pedophiles. They want children. Period. Just as rapists aren't wanting sex by force necessarily...they want POWER and CONTROL.
 
Dos this mean you are gong to jump on the fuckwads that think pedophiles are hetero?

Didn't think so.
 
I don't wanna' "classify" pedos. I just wanna' put them through the wood chipper.

Homo or not.
 
When most people imagine a child molester, they picture some ugly, old man in a trench coat coaxing children to come to him in exchange for some candy. They don't picture Uncle Joe or Aunt Lorraine; the neighbor next door or the friendly parishioner; another family member or trusted co-worker. They don't think of mom or dad, or in the case of single parents, their significant other. This misconception has been effectively dispelled through information obtained in thousand of child sexual abuse investigations over the years. Child molesters come from all walks of life and from all socioeconomic groups. They can be male or female, rich or poor, employed or unemployed, religious or non-religious, highly educated or non-educated, or from any race.

Through numerous case studies, the Department of Justice has developed characteristics and behavioral indicators of a pedophile. They are as follows:

Is most often an adult male.
Is usually married.
Works in a wide range of occupations, from unskilled laborer to corporate executive.
Relates better to children than adults.
Socializes with few adults unless they are pedophiles.
Usually prefers children in a specific age group.
Usually prefers either males or females, but may be bi-sexual.
May seek employment or volunteer with programs involving children of the age of his preference.
Pursues children for sexual purposes.
Frequently photographs or collects photographs of his victims, either dressed, nude, or in sexually explicit acts.
Collects child erotica and child-adult pornography.
May possess and furnish narcotics to his victims to lower their inhibitions.
Is usually intelligent enough to recognize that he has a personal problem and understand the severity of it.
May go to great lengths to conceal his illegal activity.
Often rationalizes his illicit activities, emphasizing his positive impact upon the victim and repressing feelings about the harm that he has done.
Often portrays the child as the aggressor. This usually occurs after the child realizes that by withholding "sexual favors" the child will obtain what he or she desires, such as new toys, clothing or trips.
Talks about children in the same manner as one would talk about an adult lover or spouse.
Often was a child molestation victim and frequently seeks out children at the age or stage of physical development at which he was molested.
Often seeks out publications and organizations that support his sexual beliefs and practices.
Usually corresponds with other pedophiles and exchanges child pornography and erotica as proof of involvement.
Is usually non-violent and has few problems with the law (pedophiles are frequently respected community members).


The widespread misconception that child molestation consists solely of children being seized from the street and forcibly molested couldn't be further from the truth. Although these incidents do occur, the vast majority of child molesters are adults who seduce children through subtle intimidation and persuasion and are known to the child.

The incestuous or interfamilial molester is usually an adult male (father, stepfather, grandfather or live-in boyfriend of the mother) who molests the child or children. Although physical abuse may occur, the molestation is usually secretive and is accomplished through mental duress and threats - that the child would be removed from the family if he/she did not succumb to his wishes, that he/she would be blamed for hurting the family if the offender is arrested, or that a sibling would be sexually abused if the victim did not consent. The molestation occurs over an extended period of time, occasionally into the victim's adulthood. Through intimidation, the child is made to feel responsible for the molestation and for keeping the acts secret. This secret is normally kept between the offender and the victim, or within the immediate family.

The stranger molester will use force or fear to molest children. As the term implies, the child does not know the molester. This type of molestation is usually reported promptly to the police because the trauma to the child is readily apparent.

The single-parent family is particularly vulnerable to the pedophile; the parent usually has a full-time job and is attempting to fulfill the role of both parents, as well as run the household. In many cases the parent is unable to provide the psychological support the child needs. These situations may contribute to the success of the child molester who can and will provide the caring attention, however superficial that may be lacking at home. Of course, domestic problems in intact families also can make children vulnerable to the pedophile. It should be noted as well, many pedophiles seek out mothers of single-parent families for the purpose of victimizing their children.

The single most effective means of protecting your child is communication with your child. They have to feel comfortable discussing sensitive matters with you. If they don't feel they can talk with you about their true feelings or that they will be "put down" for it, then you can't expect they will tell you when they are put in an uncomfortable situation by a child molester.

Teach your children that they should not be asked to touch anyone in the bathing suit areas of their body or allow anyone to touch them in those areas. Teach them types of situations to avoid. It's not good enough to tell a child to avoid strangers. Most child molestation's are committed by someone known to or related to the child.

Characteristics and Behavioral Indicators of a Pedophile
 
If it is a 17year old boy, then he most likely is a pedohile. Children without being fully developed is what pedophiles aim for. Gay men want other gay MEN.

Not so. Pedophiles are attracted to pre-pubescent children. a 17 year old is post pubescent.
If a guy is attracted to that, he's gay. If he's attracted to a teenage or close to teen boy, he's gay.

Pedo's are the ones gunning for the under 10 crowd, what you are describing is a pederast.
 
For some reason I never think of gays and kids. I usually think of middle aged pretend Christian men with kids of their own who prey on other people's kids.

I don't know many gays, but the one's I have known tend to be at either end of the spectrum of what people consider to be masculine:

If they aren't overtly one or the other, it doesn't occur to me they are gay. I don't think about it.

Unless right wingers want to USE them as a wedge issue.
