It's abhorrent in a way homosexuality isn't to me, because it involves contact with a person who is not old enough to consent.

But let's say you are a young man, and you come to realize that your sexual preference really is prepubescent children. What the hell do you do?

-try to ignore it? and hope it doesn't become so compelling that you become a predator
--try therapy? which doesn't seem to be of much help
--give in to it and hate yourself, or disassociate your actions so much you don't even acknowledge it?
--become a priest or a boy scout leader?
--blow your head off because there's no hope?

I just don't know. And glad it's not me!
I wish more of them would choose option #5. I heard an NPR discussion on this topic yesterday and one of the guests stated they had one man who documented 35,000 cases of molestation that he was responsible for, he kept his own records. I don't have many nice words for these kinds of people.
