I am in two different groups that operate in that exact fashion. @virpeds is one of them, and I recommend it to people often.

If I had never openly talked about my pedophilia in an online space, I would have not met my best friend because he would have ended his life, and I would not have met my other close friend who would have continued abusing csem in a drunken stupor. Talking openly helps people.

And staying quiet about paedophilia has helped no one.

I wish I heard this when I was a teen and maybe I could have understood instead if turning to heroin at 36 out of disgust.

It's never too late to begin caring about yourself. It sucks you couldn't do it as a teen but you can start doing it now.
-
Well in sobriety I learned to care more about myself. I still am very sensitive about having an attraction I cannot understand. Speaking on twitter may help or hurt. My fragile mental response may not accept calls to harm myself even thought I have done nothing wrong.
-
Sadly those are common on Twitter. There are better places for support, like
@virpeds / http://virped.org . -
My advice is to visit that website. You're welcome to post here on twitter also, but you might find it counterproductive to your needs as a person to feel good about yourself.
-
Yes. I'm a strong supporter of http://virped.org as well.

Parents also need to hear that most child molestors are children MAP or not
-
Protecting children from sexual abuse means teaching them how to recognize healthy vs. unhealthy expressions of sexuality. They need to know consent, and that their body belongs to them. COCSA is often overlooked, but it can be just as devastating as being abused by an adult.
-
In case there needs to be any clarification: when I speak of children consenting, I mean with peers their age, not adults. Children cannot meaningfully consent to sexual contact with adults; this is child sexual abuse, and has been shown to cause trauma and damage to children.

There's inherent power imbalance involved when adults allow sexual contact between themselves and children, with children's mental immaturity it presents such a high risk of damage to the child that if you really do love children, you would never play roulette with their lives.

There can never be a lack of coercive processes that go along with such a large power imbalance. That is kept in check even among adults that have fully mature mental reasoning abilities. It is the reason that most bosses are prohibited from sleeping with their employees.

Peer support on twitter with other pedophiles breeds toxicity and unhealthy feelings.
-
Yeah, I do outreach and visibility on Twitter. I recommend other places online for peer support, like
@virpeds .
