I don't exactly know but I'd say it's like rape a domination thing. It could have possibly happened to these people when they were young also, making it normal to them. I'd say it's a mental illness.

They are sick. It is a mental/emotinal illness that's much more about power, control, manipulation, violence, and maybe acting out what was done to them.
Why don't you ask about women doing the same - up to 10% of the pedophiles are female? That's just as sick.
Why don't you ask about the many, many more times that men molest girls? That's just as dispicable.
Why don't you mention the family members that do this horrifying thing? They are about 30% of the offenders.
Do you honestly believe that gays find this any less horrifying and despicable than straights? If so, well, you're wrong.

Wow - what a question. I don't know, it is really quite disturbing. I have no problem with adults interacting with other consenting adults, but leave the children out of it. Often - child molestors, that is what they are were themselves molested... but it had to start somewhere, right? Oddly enough, it isn't as prevelent with homosexuals than it is with heterosexual males.
Perhaps they like the youth, prepubesant because they have effeminate qualities, and as children, are easily persuaded to do things. In any case, this is one crime that is truly dispicable - as you stated, and these depraved individuals - what to do with them? We can't let them harm or continue to harm our children. Perhaps this is one case where the penalty of death is justified.

It is people like you who give gays a bad name. Most gays are absolutely NOT interested in younger boys and it is not appropriate to put them in the category of pedophile priests and clergy! I cannot find words that adequately explain my disgust at your question!

Hummmmmmmmm. I am a grown man and I don't find boys sexually fascinating. Do not group all men with sick people. Most men are not that way. Just like not all women are into little children.

Well, I agree, but it's not everybody. You have to separate the pedophiles from the homosexuals. I mean priests mess around with females more than males. The gay priest thing just makes good press.

Any one that finds a child sexually gratifying is a sick person and need help in a secure unit.
Lets get one thing straight though, Just because ur gay DOES NOT make u a paedophile. Stop getting the 2 confused

I think they miss their lost youth and view young boys as a way to regain it. I don't know... it's hard to tell really. Maybe it's just the taboo of pedophilia that's so arousing to a few grown men. Many people feel themselves drawn to things or behaviours that many find are restricted-- behaviours that we ought not to do. Not many are pedophiles, but maybe that's the same logic-- that the danger of getting caught is arousing?
Not sure. I suggest watching Law and Order SVU. I watch it frequently, as the drama is quite intriguing, and it deals with this kind of thing.

It happens in reverse as well, Adult women who molest young boys....
Pedophilia is disgusting and actually perpetrated most often by heterosexuals. The reason you hear about "so many" men and boys is this thing called "Sensationalism". For every boy you hear about there are 20 young girls molested that never make the news.

it's only a select few that do and just as many that like young girls. I think its a power thing as they have power over that child then. its not a case of welll that person may have been abused so he/she will then go on to abuse at all.No one who has been abused would ever put another person through the same degradation as what they went through
