Is it normal to have thoughts about children?

Whenever I look at children, I always get turned on. I often think about how i would tie them up and hurt them and gaaaahhh, I don't even know. That being said, I know it isnt normal. What im worried about is that I dont want to get better. I have a fear of hospitals and wont set foot in one (Its not the doctors im afraid of, I have all my doctors come to my house). I cant control the thoughts about children yet I dont want to go get therapy or worse get sent to the psych ward or something...

    There's an online support group for pedos who DO NOT want to act on their urges. It's run by a guy called "Adam". That's all I remember from the interview I read. I suggest you google it for some self help.

    If you DO want to act on your urges, you're scum and you deserve whatever you get.

    Afraid of doctors... dont want help?
    Might I suggest walking into your local police station and explaining to a person in charge your situation. I hear they are always happy to accommodate .

    Don't get help then you will have a lovely future as an inpatient at a mental hospital to look forward to.
    If you think medical hospitals are unpleasant, well.....

    • That's exactly what I don't want! For all I know, mental hospitals just torture their patients and don't really help them ( well isn't that Ironic).

        Count on it. They make their money on the number of inmates, not on the number they release. Once you are a guest, well, thank you state for all this nice money to keep you there.

          Yeah...encourage the dangerous pedophile to NOT seek help. Destroy any chance of keeping him from acting on his urges.

          You want him to molest a child, huh?

  • Everyone has had inappropriate thoughts; there's hardly any shame in that. Just don't hurt anyone.

    And think twice before seeking "help;" I hear that even if you've broken no laws whatsoever, you could land in hot water due to "mandatory reporting" laws.

  • Do you not want help because you are afraid they will put you in the loony bin?
    Depending on where you live there could be different policies on involuntarily committing people.
    Where I am it is extremely hard for someone to get committed without committing a crime. You have to admit very clear plans to hurt someone or yourself for that to happen. Talking about internal thoughts is usually acceptable as long as you do not admit you intend to act on them.
    I am not sure if pedophilia is even treatable but I recommend doing something about it. People with sexual disorders often cannot be relieved of their thoughts but they can manage their behavior. Probably similar to how former drug addicts think about drugs years later.

    • See "psychotic" runs in the family... My sister was carted off to the firey depths of hell aka the loony bin, and havent seen her since... Indirectly related to this, its preventing me from getting proper care( I guess).
      So far my record is clean and id like to keep it that way.

      • I dont get why that matters. What did she do to get committed? I have had psychosis too and am diagnosed schizoaffective and aspergers and have never been institutionalized. Ive even told them when Ive been homicidal and was labled a high risk patient but they said i would be fine unless I confessed immeadiate intended plans.
        Years back I tried to go inpatient because i thought I would do something stupid and they did nothing but give me more pills. They just dont have resources to deal with anyone who hasnt committed a serious crime. They often wait until they actually do something stupid.

        • Sorry, let me re-phrase. My parents carted her off to the hospital... She tried to take her own life. She had journals stacked up in her room describing of all kinds of people bullying her and various things but none of those people actually existed. She also had elaborate revenge plans for all of the imaginary people. (I guess that would be one schizophrenia).

          • Sounds like she was committed because of something she did (attempted suicide)
            Your problem is unrelated to this. I cannot guarentee what will happen if you choose treatment, but depending where you live they will not commit you.
            In the u.s they try not to commit anyone unless it seems necessary. Mental health just isnt that funded to put people who are not actively violent in custody.
