It seems this thread won't stay on the actual topic, so let me ask what you think of this language from Mayo Clinic Proceedings ---
"Pedophiles are usually attracted to a particular age range and/or sex of child. Research categorizes male pedophiles by whether they are attracted to only male children (homosexual pedophilia), female children (heterosexual pedophilia), or children from both sexes (bisexual pedophilia).3,6,10,29 The percentage of homosexual pedophiles ranges from 9% to 40%, which is approximately 4 to 20 times higher than the rate of adult men attracted to other adult men (using a prevalence rate of adult homosexuality of 2%-4%).5,7,10,19,29,30 This finding does not imply that homosexuals are more likely to molest children, just that a larger percentage of pedophiles are homosexual or bisexual in orientation to children.19 "
Do you accept the term 'homosexual pedophilia' for men attracted to male children though not attracted to adult men ?
I personally don't have a problem with the term when it is used correctly by people who understand the difference. As is obvious in this thread, there are people who just see the word homosexual and believe the person is a gay man. This is because conservative religious anti-gay groups have so often distorted and misrepresented studies claiming that homosexuals are far more likely to sexually abuse children, when that is clearly not the case at all.
You claimed I stated something that I didn't state at all.
Do you not understand the difference between regressed pedophiles and fixated pedophiles?
It's fixated pedophiles who do not have an adult sexual orientation. Regressed pedophiles do. And regressed pedophiles most often have a heterosexual orientation even when the victims are boys - according to all the research over the past 60 years.
There are far more regressed pedophiles and child molestors than fixated pedophiles, although the fixated pedophiles usually have a lot more victims.
According to your own links there are far more pedophiles who do not have an adult sexual identity than those who do. That is my point. So when you say that the majority of pedophiles are heterosexual in nature is simply false. However, the majority of pedophiles are heterosexual pedophiles, that is true.
The fact that people use "homosexual" in reference to pedophiles who abuse children of the same sex more prevalently than "heterosexual" is simply due to the fact that homosexual pedophilia is more aberrant, as you suggest. By a factor of 2-1, the majority of pedophiles are heterosexual pedos by nature. There isn't as much of a need to identify the obvious, most likely choice. If you're in a room filled with brown eyed tennis players, do you feel the need to describe him/her as a brown eyed tennis player? No, because the majority of them are brown eyed. You, and people like you, enjoy assigning malintent to a descriptive term when it isn't always appropriate to do so. I don't use the term to disparage homosexuals and have nothing against gays.
This makes no sense.
You really don't see that the fervently anti-gay crowd goes out of its way to link the terms homosexual and pedophile as often as they can in order to smear and defame gay people and brand them as sexual deviants most of whom are interested in little boys? That's straight out of gay-hating 101 for the religious right.
he's gay. not that it really matters but for the sake of quoting this post...the man is gay.
any male that inserts, no, that has the thought of inserting his penis into another male's rectum, and that actually makes said thoughts a reality, is a homosexual.
this so called heterosexual male is turned on by the thought of having sex with other males. he touched other males' thighs, wrestled with sexual intent, was caught in the act of anal intercourse with a male, etc. etc.
he's a child molester.
he's a monster.
and he's gay. now, again, his sexual orientation doesn't matter to me at all but its baffling to sit here and read posts where ppl call this man a heterosexual.
HOW.
had anal sex with males? check.
performed oral sex on males? check.
had males perform oral sex on him? check.
touched males in a sexual manner? check.
etc. etc.
what part of the above sounds heterosexual?
i'm with the other poster who says that he probably identifies himself as a heterosexual due to societal norms. much like so called "down low" "brothers."
You need a course or two in human sexuality. Your post is riddled with inaccuracies. How embarrassing.
To all the posters who are insisting Sandusky is gay, what is your point in asserting this anyway? What difference does it make? Is it worse that he was assaulting 10 year old boys rather than 10 year old girls? He was assaulting children, and that's really all that matters.
Because then they can put this episode in their arsenal when the topic of gay marriage and/or adoption rights comes up.
Where is Jerry Sandusky's wife in all this? She had to have know something was going on as wives usually do. What about his foster children/biological children? I hate to think of the things he did to his children.
Yea like all those priests were gay same for inmates in prison, its about access and not getting someone pregnant plus and most importantly its about pedophiles. At some point a Boy Scout scandal wouldn't be surprising would it?
The fact that we're even discussing sexuality here is utterly pathetic. It's pathetic that someone (a few, in fact) decided to make a tragic criminal case about sex and politics, and it says a lot more about them as individuals than they might realize. Pathetic.

Not if you actually read the news and know there is one out there already.
Parents must be vigilant in protecting their children.

It's so sad that not even the Boy Scouts have escaped the homosexual/pedophile agenda. NAMBLA NAMBLA
