PAEDOPHILIA - A factual report (Dr. Frits Bernard)

[Kasz]

I found this very long but interesting article: Dr. Frits Bernard: PAEDOPHILIA - A factual report

"Paedophilia does not seem to be principally the problem of the paedophile; it is apparently not principally the child's problem. Paedophilia is, above all, the problem of people who are not paedophiles; that is, of society in general. It is therefore necessary for paedophiles to join together in groups, not only for (mutual) assistance, but also especially because in this way they will continue to receive attention as a minority that will remain in existence as long as society (non-paedophiles) keeps on struggling with its own sexuality."

Interesting. The article consistently uses the word "paedophilia" as a name of a sexual activity, yet it writes:

But not all paedophiles are child molesters, and vice versa: by no means every paedophile acts on his impulses, and many people who sexually abuse children are not exclusively or primarily sexually attracted to them. In fact, "true" paedophiles are estimated by some experts to account for only 20% of sexual abusers. Nor are paedophiles necessarily violent: no firm links have so far been established between paedophilia and aggressive or psychotic symptoms. Psychologist Glenn Wilson, co-author of The Child-Lovers: a Study of Paedophiles in Society, argues that "The majority of paedophiles, however socially inappropriate, seem to be gentle and rational.
