because.....

consent is the difference between a consensual relationship and rape.

pedophillic sex or bestiality = rape

sex between two adult homosexuals = not rape

homosexual attractions: not rape.

Pedophillic attractions: not rape until the act is performed.
 
CriticalThought said:
Interesting. I disagree in that I believe that attraction, not behavior, is the determining factor. You are entitled to your opinion. The DSM designates pedophilia as a disorder and homosexuality is not considered one.

I try not to get too attached to words and focus more on the ideas.

Well the "experts" writing the DSM-5 said that pedophillia was a sexual orientation. Then they changed their minds. Were they lying then, or are they lying now?

Unless it directly concerns me, or pertains to sexual offenders or pedophiles, then no, I don't care about the sexual preferences of people.

I really don't get this answer. Does everyone who answered this way live in some desolate right wing dystopia where anyone who's found out to be gay is immediately executed? Because where I live it's not terribly difficult to figure out someone's orientation.
 
Cardinal said:
I'm sorry, but that was way too meta for me, could you repeat that again?

Anyway, in answer to the question in the title, I don't know if I care what people's sexual orientations are, but the OP sure as hell does.

if you read my earlier posts in the thread, my point should become more clear.
 
Eh, most people who constantly proclaim their disinterest and their preference to "not hear about it" really do, and simply don't want to hear about gays and their relationships as they would anyone else.

homosexual sex between adults = not rape

pedophillic sex = rape.

how long do you want to keep clinging to your debunked analogy?

Sounds like a typo. But clearly you value your point of view as absolute and infallible so do not let me interfere in your self assurance.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm sick and tired of hearing about everyone's sexual preference. This includes celebrities, athletes, politicians, and even Joe Schmo the regular guy. I dont care and never did. Just live your life and be with who you want to be with. The rest of us dont need to know what is going on in your bedroom. Just wondering if anyone else feels this way.

How often do people come up to you and tell you what they are doing in their bedroom?

God cares. That's all that matters to me.
 
****.

I checked yes instead of no.

Don't suppose a mod can change that?

He is a homosexaual, and a pedophile.

A rarity, a man who rapes both boys and girls would be a bi-sexual, pedophile---and probably "gay."

wow well you just proved you are severely uneducated about sexual orientation and pedophilia etc wow that hilarious!
 
Flamethrower said:
Now what do you expect me to beleive?

The world's top psychiatric know-it-alls said in their DSM -5 that pedophillia was a sexual orientation---just like hertero- and homosexuals.

Link?

Do you pretend to know more than the world's highest authority on the subject?

Often... yes.
 
Yes but only because they're insecure of themselves. I could care less if someones sexual preference is water bottles. Frankly it's parents with young kids (who are totally bat**** insane) and deeply insecure religious people who keep the world under its mantle of social conservative misery.

As long as you insert your meaningless assumption that consent has anything to do with sexual preferences and homosexual acts.

I have a severe dislike of radical leftists demanding that only their biased interpretations of sexual terms are some sort of gold standard.

good thing thing this has nothing t to d with leftists but facts, science and the medical community.
also there was zero demand for anything, making stuff up wont help your inaccurate post either. You are free to believe whatever wrong, dishonest, inane mentally retarded "theories" you like but they just wont change the facts.
next Im sure you'll tell us its a conspiracy theory. lol

It's called an agenda.

A purely scientific organization would nothave a radical adenda to decriminalize pehodhiles or push homosexual behavior on the public. Look at their policy statements:

American Psychological Association (APA)

DSM | psychiatry.org
