When I was young I had many bad things happen to me, from relatives, family friends and strangers.
The "least harmful" was when I and a few other kids were playing soccer in the lane and some guy comes with his camera asking to take our pictures. Seemed innocent enough, then he asks us to take our shirts off for some more pictures. Lucky I got bad vibes at that time and left, but what could have happened? I actually don't know what went down with the other boys.
The median heterosexual man or woman (age 18-60) reports somewhere between four and six opposite sex partners in their lifetime. Lesbian women, too, report about the same number of partners. Meanwhile, the median gay man has notably more partners—reporting between 16 and 20 same-sex sexual partners to this point in their lifetime.
It was hard for me not to read your writing on pedophilia as sympathetic to pedophiles, since you argue that pedophilia is a sexual orientation and “Telling a pedophile that he needs to be attracted to grown-ups, not kids, is like telling a lesbian that she just hasn’t found the right guy…” Is it possible to denounce the criminal actions of some pedophiles without denouncing pedophiles themselves?
Of course it is. We use the word “pedophilia” as though it’s a verb, synonymous with child abuse and molestation. It’s not. There are pedophiles who molest children, and there are non-pedophiles who molest children. There are pedophiles who understand that their sexual orientation (and I use “sexual orientation” in the scientifically correct sense of whatever a person’s brain and genitals “sexually orient” to the most) would damage children terribly if their desires were ever acted out. So I’m as sympathetic to those “virtuous pedophiles” as I would be to anyone who would put a vulnerable person’s welfare ahead of their own sexual feelings. Child sex abuse is horribly frightening and those who offend should indeed be punished. But unless you can, right now, choose to be aroused by an eight-year-old, it’s not hard to see that these people have no choice over their incredibly unfortunate sexual orientation. Our demonizing those who are handling their tremendous burden in life so admirably due to factors that are beyond their control makes zero sense to me.

One of the twitter posts screen-shotted in that article showed tha MAP (Minor Attracted Person) pride flag as an emoji, and NOBODY picked up on it. That's what they call a 'smoking gun', to all these people coming in here & saying "Oh, it's all perfectly normal, nothing to see here".
SICK #ERS quite simply, there is no way around that little emoji.

I saw another poster provide evidence and I have changed my mind.It still does not mean a all porn photographers are bad people,or that all people in porn are evil. I also have no kids,nor want any currently.
