ppl with paraphilias aren& #39;t at fault for having them, but they are responsible for managing them. if you know you& #39;re attracted to beings who can& #39;t consent, it& #39;s YOUR responsibility to distance yourself from them, not simply to acknowledge it as part of your identity. seek help.
if you struggle with zoophilic urges, don& #39;t involve yourself in the furry fandom.
if you struggle with pedophilic urges, don& #39;t go on sites where there are children.
"i didn& #39;t ask for this attraction."
yeah well neither did your potential victims. handle your shit.
i& #39;m not going to say "all zoophiles/pedophiles deserve to die," bc that simply pushes ppl away from seeking help. no tolerance though. zero. none. get your ass to a therapist or stay the hell away from anyone you could hurt until you can. period.
full disclosure: i struggled with dangerous paraphilias in my past due to trauma and abuse at the hands of adults when i was a child. i have never acted on them and i practiced behavioral therapy until i felt disgust and repulsion at those urges... now i don& #39;t feel them at all.
i didn& #39;t have access to a therapist. all i really had was the internet circa mid-90s. and you know what? i knew the things i was feeling were wrong. i knew. you know. and if i can do it, with my past of horrific abuse, so can you. no excuses.
if you& #39;re really unable to get to therapy and you& #39;re still having issues... every time you catch yourself thinking about those urges, eat a tablespoon of hot sauce. or vegemite. or whatever thing would gross you out to eat. it sounds stupid but it& #39;s a start.
it& #39;s all about conditioning and reconditioning. it& #39;s all about training your brain to do things you want and not do the ones you don& #39;t.
and before anyone starts: i have at LEAST one personality disorder from each cluster so no... mental illness isn& #39;t an excuse either.
