I wont go into detail about the intrusive thoughts but they are not as much as a problem for me as they used to be. If you do a bit of research you will see its an anxiety related condition, pure obsessional compulsive disorder. Fears of being a pedophile are in the same vein as fear of hurting somebody else, or fear of dropping a baby, or fear of stabbing relatives etc. They are all intrusive thoughts. Theres no way it can manifest itself, thats a common conception people have to this, but its like saying, the fear of me stabbing relatives and the fear of me enjoying it are actually going to make me do it. Doesnt that sound ridiculous.
Is it normal to be attracted to younger teenage girls
