Frequently Asked Questions and Statements:
Why don’t you get help?
I got my help a long time ago. Now I am the help. That’s what this site is all about. To help other MAPs realize they are not monsters, and can lead a happy life without acting illegally and unethically.
You should stay away from kids, so you don’t rape them.
Do you have a habit of raping adults you find attractive? No. Then what makes you think I would do that to children I’m attracted to? Don’t project your ideas of relationships onto me.
Why do you use Christianity to justify your pedophilia?
I was raised as a Christian, and often faced rejection from fellow Christians who claimed my attraction is a sin and that I would be going to hell. I know many other MAPs who were raised in the church and had similar experiences. Many MAPs have fallen away from or completely renounced their faith, due to the rejection from other Christians. So I talked with my pastor, and other faith leaders about my orientation. I researched what The Bible says about minor attraction, and found that it’s not forbidden by God’s law. Many MAPs have been pushed away from God, by people claiming their attraction is evil. I’m here to let them know that their attraction doesn’t condemn them to hell. Now does this mean I endorse acting sexually with children? No. We are still bound by the social contract of the world.
This isn’t support, you’re just talking about your attraction to children.
Support takes many forms. It’s better to speak our feelings than bottle them up. How can one identify our struggle and get better if we aren’t allowed to acknowledge our attraction?
I’ve seen videos about you. Is all of that stuff true?
Many people on the internet have made sensational videos about me. Most of the claims in the videos are highly exaggerated, or downright false. Here’s what’s true: I am a minor-attracted person. I truly love and care about children. I don’t act illegally or unethically with them, nor do I have intentions of doing so. Anything that deviates from that message is false.
How do you control your urges?
What is there to control? I have an orientation. It doesn’t mean I’m struggling with impulse control. I’m not a ticking time bomb. I just simply don’t act illegally or unethically. It’s not hard.
Why do you show pride in being a MAP?
Why not? Why can’t I be proud of something that is a part of who I am? I am a lover, and an advocate for children. I find that beautiful. Why should I be ashamed of that?
But you want to have sex with children…
Who said I did? Why are you projecting your ideas of love and romance onto me?
Why should we believe you’re not a threat.
How do we gauge that anyone we pass on the street is not a threat? Most of us afford them a basic trust, even though we don’t know them, or know their thoughts. We assume that someone is not a threat, unless they show us otherwise. I have been open and honest about who I am. If I had bad intentions, do you think I would be so open and put myself under all of this scrutiny?
Did you choose to be a MAP?
No. Who would choose that? Why would I choose to be attracted to something that society forbids? Why would I choose a life of loneliness and unfulfillment? It would be so much easier if I was attracted to adults.
