There's more than likely a group of "gay genes"

not a single gay gene, though

Do you have a dick @Coolitic ?
If so has it ever gotten hard?

yessir

never has it gotten hard to the prospect of fucking kids tho

and I can will it to un-harden itself

because

yknow

I'm not an unevolved ape

And what were the circumstances ?
Did you think "i want to be hard now" or "oh, im hard now"

Yes

the latter

Your arguing from a position of bandaiding the root cause.
Even if you can will the boner away, it doesn't change what caused the boner

yes it does

it reinforces itself

and eventually, if it's the same scenario I encounter

it no long requires will

Will is a spook

you see

@ACSD_

Thats remarkable.
Most people don't have that ability

people's view on how the world works

are usually a reflection of their own personal struggles/desires

and the fact that you just said most people dont have that ability

is most likely a sign that you just lack willpower and discipline yourself

I won't deny that i lack willpower and discipline.
But you need to understand that an overwhelming majority of pedophilic tendencies come from sever mental trauma or dysfunction.
In the worst of cases said individuals are no longer neurologicaly capable of the intensive introspection necessary for them to apply such self restraint.

I appreciate the honesty

however, I refuse the idea of individuals being "neurologically incapable" of restraining themselves

with the exception of them being completely insane all-around

What about people with underdeveloped portions of their brain as a result of birth circumstance?

if they have at least basic human cognition

Eventually some are bound to be born with parts "missing" for said self restraint

you understand the brain is very plastic?

Yes

and people have lost large chunks of their brain

and still functioned as humans?

albeit, with several problems and deficiencies

But applying said plasticity requires a remarkable amount of external factors mainly the empathy of those involved in your treatment

yes and no

it depends

but anyways
