Child Abuse

It's not the sexuality of a pre-teenager. I have some experience here.

"I really really don't know what I think about MJ. My wife is of the opinion that he never really grew up and I share that view at times. IOW, he has the sexuality of a pre-teenager. Innocent? No, predator? No. Messed up head? Most def!"

What does she mean by "the sexuality of a pre-teenager?" To me that means unclear, untried, unsure, experimental. Is this what she means?

I have encountered some pedophiles among my close friends. I didn't know that they had this problem when I made the friends, and I didn't disown them when I found out. What these people had in common was that they did not know, IN A PROFOUND WAY, THEY DID NOT KNOW THAT WHAT THEY FELT WAS NOT WHAT OTHERS FELT. Doesn't the ability to understand that I want some vanilla ice cream right now and you hate vanilla ice cream and never ever want any happen pretty early in life? Before pre-teen. Doesn't the ability to know that some kid is crying because he is hurt, but I am not hurt, happen early in life?

This is what the pedophiles I know have in common. They just don't get it. If they want to have sex with somebody, they imagine that that person wants to have sex with them. Evidence to the contrary has no effect. I think this ability of differentiating my wants and needs from others' wants and needs is almost infantile. It develops almost in the cradle. Age 2? Age 5? Far before pre-teen. I would say these people are predators in the purest sense. They cannot feel the victims' pain.

Stuff was a predator by nature. He wanted young boys, but he had a strict moral code which included the idea of how that boy would feel. He cared a lot about how others felt. He was not a pedophile, although in his fantasies he was.
