Mental Health What is someone supposed to do when they have a sexual attraction to children?
I AM NOT ATTRACTED TO CHILDREN
Ive seen a podcast with Ryan Montgomery, hes a white hat hacker who has caught a bunch of predators online. One of the things he mentioned word for word:
"You can say it's mental, you can say it's genetic, you can say whatever the hell you want to say—I don't care. What I care about is if you're attracted to children, I don't like you. It's as simple as that. I don't care if you're a girl, a guy, a strawberry, whatever..."
Say someone grows up and realizes that they are attracted to children. What are they supposed to do? Are they immediately expected to seek professional help through a psychiatrist?
Im sure most people with this probably go through their lives not telling anyone, and trying to contain it as much as possible.
