It feels like people don't choose their thoughts, but do choose their actions. Does that seem accurate to you? If it does, then why can't pedophiles let their thoughts/desires stay in their heads and not bring them out into the world?
I don't think that's true anymore. There's a big community online of anonymous people talking about their inclinations who have never offended. I just don't understand why they can't deny themselves their desire in favor of other more accepted practices.
