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

this is a tangent

Yes, it was.
We started on basic human empathy for those we disagree with and ended up on "do all people actually have self restraint"

basically, my most trusted rule

which counts as a sort of "including but not limited to" statement

is if they have basic cognition

act like basic human beings

they have the capability and expectation of willpower

The argument most used to justify persecution of pedos is "self restraint" and "willpower over natural attraction"
I just fear these arguments being used against me for things like transsexuals and same sex attraction.

Nothing about how we treat pedos is consitant with how we wish to be treated about transsexuals. (Generally)

mostly if you just try to justify your situation

and say there is nothing weird or problematic about it

Ya, but i don't care what irrational people would think about a conversation i am having with what appears to be a rational person

?
