For a long time I had been looking for resources to help pedophiles process their attraction to minors and reduce the likelihood of them perpetrating. Pedophilia is a type of paraphilia. It's not a choice anymore than any other sexual orientation but acting on it has many harmful consequences. This week I learned from a sexpla(i)naut on Patreon about VirPed.org, a website which connects pedophiles to resources and support so they can safely talk out their desires without acting on them. It's a triggering topic, typically fraught with pain but today, I'm overfilled with joy that things can get better for everyone.
