i heard p*dos sometimes feel distress over their attraction towards children?? idk what to think anymore....

Yes I heard that too. That confused me a lot. My therapist from the other hand was furious when I told her that. She said that they do not feel guilt or they feel after the first time that they do something like that and then they seek for help... I hope someone will answer us this question or I'll have to ask her which is the difference... These thing about pedophilia and Pedophilia OCD is so confusing... That's maybe the reason some professionals misdiagnoses people with POCD as paedos...

You heard that where? Not everything you hear on the internet is true, even if you see it from an interview. People lie and manipulate all the time.

Is it possible there’s a few out there that have it due to brain tumors, for example (which is a case if you look into it) and they feel bad? Yes, but ACTUAL pedos? No, they don’t care. The man that had a tumor pressing against a certain part of his brain and he went to his wife for help obviously was concerned; they both were. Then he got brain surgery and it went away. He knew the tumor was back when he started feeling certain ways again, told his wife and doctor, and turns out the tumor was growing again. Not sure of his update now-a-days, but the regrow that happened a few years ago.

I think you got a bit confused because Its a natural human behaviour to feel guilt when he/she commits their FIRST crime it can be killing or pedos or any other crime. But at their second crime they don't feel any distress at all it becomes natural to them. Now i don't have POCD but a hypersexual aggression type OCD but regardless it never becomes natural to us even after removing our wrongful built up guilt we still accept that these actions are wrong and will never do them.

I worry about this all the time and I think the main difference is that people with pocd worry all the time about their thoughts, experience intesnse anxiety, and preform compulsions. and actual pedos may feel somewhat distressed or disturbed by their thoughts afterwards but overall they enjoy it
