    homosexual/heterosexual orientation is adult orientation. Pedophilia is an entirely different category. The overwhelming vast majority of men who abuse boys are heterosexual.

    I think his problem is that he hasn't understood the implications of the term "abuse" in this context.

    The video is pretty accurate, I mean it's more about degrading boys (men) than being gender "unbiased". The only thing I can fault in the video is
    1). The term "hen" I have ONLY HEARD used by lesbians not "by most Swedes" as stated in the film. In fact, I have only heard one person use it.
    2). The extreme situation in that family is very rare, although the theory is definitely wide-spread.

    what in the world are you even discussing? These evil men who were involved in the BSA were plying their craft of gay sex with little boys.

    They did not seek out adult males, adult females or little girls. They sought out little boys for gay sex. Who knows what evil lurks in the minds of some people. Some have sex with animals which I also find to be repugnant.

    In this case, in this thread, It's about homosexual pedophilia, not heterosexual pedophilia. It's male/male sex thus, homosexual

    the fact that you've been corrected on this a hundred times.
    agreed. the problem comes when you try and make this a homosexual thing. That is false. The vast majority of those scout leaders who abused boys were heterosexual.
    and you've been corrected on this.

    you'll note that when the pedophilia is male/female, there is no outrage on correct classification of heterosexual pedophilia.

    But, when the pedophilia is male/male, there are some who are outraged over the correct classification of homosexual pedophilia

    I find that to be quite curious

    Yes, I agree with you. It's as though they are more ashamed of being homosexual than being a paedophile. Personally, if I were to cheat on my wife I'd find some comfort in knowing that my wife had found me with another woman rather than with a man and ... worse still if I had been with a child. But maybe that's just me. 8)

    And that makes a man who has sex with a boy a homosexual, however the reverse does not apply, just because a boy was seduced into having sex with a man, does not make him a homosexual, he is just a victim of a predatory homosexual.

    I believe a lot of the confusion and the root cause of the notion that most boys are molested by heterosexual men is simply because many of those men are married to a woman, in which case they are bisexual or heterosexual homosexuals.

    Either way, they are quite perverted and the proper punishment once convicted would be castration.

    Cheating is one thing, being a perverted predator is a totally different thing.

    They have worked to destroy the very thing that kept them contained.

    In the Boy Scout Troop I belonged to if there was even a hint of such activity, there were always four or five other dads that would have "whooped their ass" and locked them in the trunk of their car. It never would have happened. Absent fathers in America is likely the cause of the decline. We are becoming a "matriarchal society" due to the war on men.

    Depending on your age you were in the troop when incidents like this were at their peak... So that didn’t work.

    Children don’t typically report for many many years later unfortunately.

    It is terrifying that you believe child rape has anything do to with adult orentation.

    It has everything to do with adult orientation, an adult is fully responsible for his or her decisions and if one decides to molest a minor they deserve the label the have applied to themselves.

    Or are you blaming the minor for getting raped by enticing a vulnerable and weak adult?

    A couple of decades ago, after the Orlando Sentinel newspaper began promoting homosexuality and condemning the BSA, I cancelled my subscription to the Sentinel. Then when the United Way did the same thing, I never gave them another dime. But then the BSA folded to the homosexual movement and compromised its values. Now it is going bankrupt. Oh well. The salt has lost its savor. This is especially sad to me because I was a Boy Scout. The homosexual movement pretends to be a victim, but leaves destruction in its wake.

    Adult orientation has nothing to do with pedophilia or h.ebephilia, it is a completely different sexual action and is not directly or indirectly correlated to adult sexual attraction. The primary instance of child harm occurs due to the proximity and availability of the victim — not their gender.

    Or are you really arguing that the vast majority of men are actually bisexual?

    Learn some basic medical definitions before you start spewing the regurgitated nonsense you have been fed.

    False, there are men who are only interested molesting minor females and men who are only interested in molesting minor females and that is their sexual orientation.

    Bisexual men are a minority the same applies to homosexual men.

    You lack any authority to order me to do anything so take your comment and, well you get the idea.

    Correct, that is the psychological definition of a pedophile: “In popular usage, the word pedophilia is often applied to any sexual interest in children or the act of child sexual abuse.[1][2][7] This use conflates the sexual attraction to prepubescent children with the act of child sexual abuse and fails to distinguish between attraction to prepubescent and pubescent or post-pubescent minors.[8][9] Researchers recommend that these imprecise uses be avoided, because although some people who commit child sexual abuse are pedophiles,[7][10] child sexual abuse offenders are not pedophiles unless they have a primary or exclusive sexual interest in prepubescent children,[8][11][12] and some pedophiles do not molest children.[13]

    Correct again, 2 for 2 good for you.

    If I had the authority to end ignorance there would be a lot less people that use stupidity as a shield for their bigotry. Your personal attack is noted however, I guess you have nothing else of significance to add...

    Pedophilia has nothing to do with heterosexuality or homosexuality.

    You realize that most of these incidents occurred prior to the Boy Scouts “folded to the homosexual movement and compromised its values”, right?

    Incorrect heterosexuals are not attracted to other males regardless of their age.

    And once they have sex with a male minor, they become homosexuals or heterosexual / homosexual bisexuals, they are the adults and the title sticks with them depending on who they choose to have sex with.

    Married or not makes no difference, once they cross the line the proper label fits.
