Does your mom support you for being a MAP? Like have u come out to her and she’s supportive of it? My mother was one of the first people I came out to. I can’t say that she approves of me being a MAP, but she loves me regardless of my orientation. She understands and
Welp. It looks like it’s time to speak out. I’ve been contemplating how to go about this all day. Desmond Tutu once said, “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.” For too long, I’ve defended Newgon and given them a pass even amidst shitty behavior. I
I’m burnt out. It’s been a long time coming. Once I realized I was starting to burn out I tried to make changes to better my mental health, but by then it was too late. Over these past two years, being off work from a traditional job, I dedicated my time to the MAP community.
I’m always thinking about Lucy. Even three years after last seeing her. Yesterday, I imagined what if I seen her out at a store? What would she say? What would she do? Did her parents feed her society’s narrative that I’m a monster, and change her opinion of me? Would she avoid me. Would she

I was recently asked how I was able to accept myself as a minor-attracted person. It was only after I realized: I didn’t choose this orientation. An unchosen orientation doesn’t make one evil. I’m comfortable with my feelings. I know that I have no bad intentions and would never hurt anyone. Especially a little girl.
I had the pleasure of meeting a fellow MAP through video chat yesterday. This person is someone I’ve talked with for a few years online. I’ve always gotten good vibes from them, and we’ve become rather close recently. It was a fun chat and it was cool to be able to put a face to
I joined the MAP community as a young, naive, teen. I was hopelessly in love with little girls and the prospect of a lifetime of loneliness seemed inevitable and devastating. I had radical ideas of legalizing relationships between adults and tween girls and looked for ways to be able to spend time with them. (Though
Re: Coming out to someone. I know often when we first come to the realization that we’re MAPs, we want to come out to the world and get it off of our chest. I know several MAPs who have felt that way, myself included. I made the mistake of coming out to everyone I knew
