Pedophilia made into a sexual orientation

FYI.....

UPDATE: The AFA cannot substantiate its research on this issue, though many agree with its interpretation. Please click here for an updated story with new facts. The AFA is a trusted source in Christian media, but some are disputing its claim. We reached out to the American Psychiatric Association (APA) for an official statement and have not yet received clarification. We will update the story if the APA responds.

According to the American Family Association, a shocking announcement made by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in its latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders caused an uproar among pro-family organizations and many others, as the APA states it now classifies pedophilia as a sexual orientation or preference instead of a disorder.

perhaps they should verify their source before spouting such nonsense.
 
typical of those on the far right... obfuscating and sounding a false alarm..

Accuracy of AFA's Report on Pedophilia Classification Questioned
The American Family Association (AFA) sounded an alarm on Wednesday, pointing to a shocking announcement from the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in its latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). But was the report accurate?

Charisma News started digging a little deeper on Thursday morning into the AFA’s claims that the APA now classifies pedophilia as a sexual orientation or preference instead of a disorder.

The AFA’s Cindy Roberts told Charisma News that its public relations firm, Hamilton Strategies, conducted the initial research on its claim. The PR firm has not responded to our requests for more information.

Further research reveals the American Spectator incited more fervor on the topic, pulling from a University of Southern California report indicating that “the American Psychiatric Association (APA) drew a very distinct line between pedophilia and pedophilic disorder. Pedophilia refers to a sexual orientation or profession of sexual preference devoid of consummation, whereas pedophilic disorder is defined as a compulsion and is used in reference to individuals who act on their sexuality.”

But Dr. Greg Popcak, director of the Pastoral Solutions Institute, an organization dedicated to helping Catholics find faith-filled solutions to marriage, family and personal problems, says the DSM criteria for pedophilic disorder shouldn’t bother anyone.

“The name of the disorder did change in the DSM V from Pedophilia to Pedophilic Disorder to keep the nomenclature consistent with other categories,” he writes. “But that was an editorial change, not a clinical one and it has no significance for diagnosis of treatment of the disorder.”

The APA said it would send Charisma News an official statement earlier this afternoon, but has not yet followed through.

I must be missing something here. Is it saying its good to say it is a something? Call it a nothing then. It is a word describing what? Nothing? What the hell good does that do. Just a few short years ago the whole problem was behind closed doors and nobody was doing much about it. That was bad. Getting tooled up to try figure it all out and maybe get some answers you have to start somewhere. You cannot find solutions without identifying and understanding the problem.
Orientation is just that. That is what they do,that is who they are. They may be a lot of other things in terms of employment and position in the community and family but it comes down to what is that they want to do so much that they do it in spite of every single thing in society saying no don't do that. That is their orientation.
Nobody wakes up in the morning saying oh hell yah I want to be something everybody is enraged and disgusted and would happily put a bullet in ya for being that way.
Maybe the day will come where they are simply executed for being deviants that are too destructive to be allowed to live but I doubt it will be any time soon.
 
if it sexual orintation then treat it like syndrome as you would anything that you understood a medical issue very cold baths when sexual desire starts and if the man/woman had any decencey they remove themselves to an area with no children..I think that have to be arranged between dr's police social service etc some type of discrete tagging as they do with animals..
i was watching programme called worse day of my life little girls being married off the life finished creeps who do that know what they doing and say it cultrual millians of girls life finished this way and the man knows its little girls he desires so that shows how many depraved people in this world...that sort of man who use little girl as part of culture i would excute but that would be countless thousands
 
I think many if not all pedophiles have some event which causes them to have psychological problems. That sucks for them, and likely they didn't ask for it. People with pedophilia who don't act on their instincts but know they're sick need treatment and should have compassion for it... I think that's comparable for people with gender identity disorder - lots of people who have pedophilia feel sick about themselves and should get treatment.... not as an excuse for their thoughts but because no one deserves to feel horrible about themselves (this is in the situation that they don't act on their perversion).

Child molestation is wrong wrong wrong.... but people who have an attraction that's not socially accepted and who don't want to feel that way should get help. People who are clinical psychopaths who can't feel empathy and do bad things to others get support... I think people who resist the urge to do bad things should be commended, not heckled. If they're heckled they might not get help and they might hurt a child.
 
I strongly disagree about classify pedophilia as sexual orientation and they must remain as disorder.

Homosexuality and heterosexuality don't mix with pedophilia, but there are homosexuality + pedophilia (gay man, lesbian woman who have sex interest toward children), and heterosexuality + pedophilia (straight man, straight woman who have sex interest toward children).

Sadly, there are no effective treatment or cure for pedophilia, but we do have sex offender registry, mandatory therapy, commitment to hospital, neuter the sex and other methods.

Pedophilia is extremely ill and I hopefully anyone who diagnosed with pedophilia, don't choose to sex with children. :ugh:

Whew, I thought my father's argument against LGBT might have come true. He always says if you allow gays to marry, that will open a door for the incest people and pedophiles. Glad to see pedophilia shot down, that isn't an orientation, that is just abuse to children who cannot fend for themselves or even legally be considered old enough to be consenting.

I'm glad his argument cannot be valid against LGBT.
 
It should not be made into an orientation...its like saying its fine to go do things to little kidsuz thays theor preference. I know there isnt a magical pill that will suddenly make them not want to do things to kids, but they can go to therapy and go to other methods. But well it is different if a person goes to therapy and never acts on it, and another that they decide to act on it. It should not be compared to been heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual. Those three, while not always, it os with a consenting person who understand what is going on. A child doesn't know and can be truly damanged.

APA to correct manual: Pedophilia is not a 'sexual orientation' - Washington Times


Pedophilia is not a “sexual orientation,” and erroneous use of that phrase will be corrected soon in its new manual on mental illnesses, the American Psychiatric Association said Thursday.

Perhaps someone should double check their own sources before attacking people based on the their religious beliefs :giggle:


In other words, they should take their hatred somewhere else.
Oh like .... JIRO for an example.


The APA said in its statement that “‘sexual orientation’ is not a term used in the diagnostic criteria for pedophilic disorder and its use in the DSM-5 text discussion is an error and should read ‘sexual interest.’”

It is absolutely no secret that there is a faction within the APA that is attempting to "normalize" pedophilia. While some members here were either in pre-k, or not even in existence yet, they can be dismissed from not knowing the background behind this.

are you sure about that? it appears that people of faith especially on far right were attempting to be armchair experts and misinterpreting it.

It added: “APA stands firmly behind efforts to criminally prosecute those who sexually abuse and exploit children and adolescents. We also support continued efforts to develop treatments for those with pedophilic disorder with the goal of preventing future acts of abuse.”

In the end, however, only a small change was made: “Pedophilia” was changed to “pedophilic disorder,” to conform to other disorders in chapter on paraphilias, the APA said. The “diagnostic criteria essentially remained the same as in DSM-IV-TR,” it added.

certainly making a mountain out of a molehill...
 
Most pedophiles are men but there are women in the mix as well.
They like what they like and that it is criminal and destructive to their prey means something to them only if they are caught.

I'm very grateful for what you try to do to help these poor girls. Yes, they are girls, not women, and they are being abused by these men and their families.
That's bad enough but this really disgusts me:

"the hospital said they like to know when child is married and respect culture."

Respecting a culture is one thing but isn't their duty first to their young patients? How can they respect a culture that abuses girls? It sounds more like politically correct kowtowing to me. :mad:

Thank you for caring about the girls. :hug:

What about anti-gay Christians bullied kids who are gay or non-Christian religious, so they don't respect their status and I received death threat from anti-gay Christians when I was high school student and they tried very hard to change my way.

I have same say about right wing conservatives want to gang up on people with different sexual orientation, non-Christian religion, genders.

Neither of those groups are innocent.
