Comments on "Homosexuality and Pedophilia: The False Link"

Homosexuality and Pedophilia: The False Link

Q: I've heard therapists say that a male adult who sexually abuses a boy isn't necessarily ‘homosexual.' This seems confusing: If he isn't homosexual, then why would he sexually molest boys, instead of girls? Read More

Thanks Joe

Thanks Joe, I've read several of your articles over the last few months and just wish to say thanks.
I appreciate your thoughtful, understanding and knowlegable articles.

This article

I do disagree with this article; however your blogs are very informative and well written. The only thing I would voice on this subject is that a great deal of homosexual men are inducted into the lifestyle, as children, by pedophiles. When a boy is raped by an adult male, strangely, he develops an almost insatiable desire to receive sexual gratification through his anus; a desire he carries on into adulthood. When a girl is raped by a male, she might become a lesbian, she might become heterosexually promiscuous, or (the very few) might turn against sex altogether for an indefinite period of time or maybe even forever.

Pedophilia

As for pedophiles: They're not good enough to be called anything other than scum. Any person who would subject an innocent child to their sick ways should be executed.

False

I couldn't disagree more. As Tina pointed out, the act of penetration has a deep psychological effect on the recipient, one that cannot easily be erased. I have worked with many homosexuals, and in most cases there is some form of abuse that transformed them - molestation in their childhood, rape in prison, or even what was thought to be a harmless experiment. The mind prefers to rationalize the humiliation as voluntary instead of living with the fact that a transgression has occured.

Ritualistic abuse, Homosexuality and Pedophilia.

In my culture I saw how the link between Homosexuality and Pedophilia turn in Ritualistic Abuse.

Sometimes its easy to imagine but not easy to probe, than families where incest happen -male to male child or female to female child- when the child grow up and become young adult, always they acused homosexuals or people offside the house to stole the innocence of their sons and pervert the God`s creatures... Generally sometimes somebody who dissapear of the town or just was around short time.

The false link

The false link between Homosexuality and Pedophilia , its the perfect weapon for homophobic`s cultures, peoples, religions, hate groups and homophobic states.

It s the way to teach children homophobia and leave without punishment hate crimes and ritualistic abuses.

The false link but the perfect weapon!

Homophobia in Costa Rica and Latinoamerica its a hate crime.

13- La semana anterior usted me dijo en otra entrevista que desearía que nadie se ofendiera con su novela!, por qué? alguien se podrá sentir ofendido?
Lo que le dije es que no me gustaría ofender a quien no se lo merece. Por ejemplo, soy muy respetuoso de los gays y lesbianas que llevan su condición honrada y pacíficamente, sin pervertir a menores o hacer proselitismos desagradables en bares, calles, cines o conciertos. Tengo muchos amigos y amigas de esa condición y como no son fundamentalistas ni talibanas, espero que mi humor no los lastime. http://www.clubdelibros.com/repocarlosmorales.html

Words of 2008 National Novel Award... I leave with the intention to somebody who can do accurate translation, because that its a proof of the homophobia we learn and the system teach in Costa Rica and Latinoamerica, "invisibility" "false link"..."prejuice humor" Morales work of his life in University UCR fields....

In fact, heterosexuals

Most men who molest little boys are, in fact, heterosexuals. They are "bi curious" and decide that the best pace to "start" to explore homosexuality is with a pre-pubescent or early adolecsent male.
This should explain why heterosexual men are the primary molesters of little boys.
Homosexual (Gay) men already "know" what they want; and it isn't little boys.
After a heterosexual male molests a little boy (or boys), he becomes a regressive bi-sexual pedophile.

The fixated homosexual pedophile is an entirely different story; I haven't figured it out yet, so will refrain from commenting on it.

Great post

Great post you got here. It would be great to read more concerning that theme.
