No. Technically a p is attracted to prepubescent children, that’s usually defined as 13 and younger. Finding people past that age is considered not of pathological nature. It’s fairly natural. The reason -18 is usually illegal is because they’re mentally not devloped enough to consent with adults. The power dynamics are too unbalanced. Now finding someone attractive doesn’t even mean you want to have sex with them. It just means they have characteristics you find beautiful on some level. In the same way a grandpa can see his granddaughter as beautiful but not want to have sex with her. And even if you were further having true sexual desire, it doesn’t mean you’d have to act on it. Just like you probably haven’t tried to get with every of age girl you’ve felt attraction to. Thoughts do not equal actions. What causes people to do actions is a lot more complicated than that and the fact you’re distressed about this makes it very unlikely you’d act on it. Most people that are willing to act on sexual urges have no or very little anxiety about it, combined with the will to pursue it and usually end up making some kind of plan and wait for an opportunity. Doesn’t sound like that’s you at all.

when I was 15 soon to turn 16, I met this girl in a IG group chat made by our mutual friends. We started talking and eventually we started flirting and talking sexual towards each other, though eventually we stopped talking because she was being really weird. A couple months later In July of 2024 my friend found out that she was actually 13 and that she lied to me about her age. It's been 10 months since l've found out and I still feel so disgusted in myself. I had my suspicions at the time but I let them go since she said she was 16 turning 17. I was completely oblivious trusting someone I only knew online especially since i've never seen their face either. i'm struggling on what to do since i've been suffering with POCD since I was 15. Till this day I still feel weird and disgusted in myself because of that. But it feels ironic since i'm sexualizing someone that's 2 years younger than me and I waited to confirm she was around my age range to sexualize her. I feel so weird and guilty about it idk what to do

I keep getting thoughts of this 6 year old kid n I don’t know what to do, they keep coming and they give me a sense of attraction, I don’t wanna be attracted to kids, it feels too real as well, I feel a need to check if I was attracted or not constantly, and it genuinely feels like attraction, please help me I don’t wanna be a pedo. Whenever I try to think abt something romantic or about someone my age I’m actually into, that kid keeps popping up.

Trigger warning So I can’t stop wondering if I was attracted to this kid I saw a few days ago because I felt something that felt like genuine attraction, it made me worried I was a p, so I tried to leave the place immediately. I also had urges to look to check if I was attracted or not and urges to not to look. All of it made me feel like a genuine P. What is all of this I’m doing, are they compulsions? Or are they pr3detory actions?
