I'm not sure, probably the same way I realized I like ass more than blobs? You just know, but I'm thankful some know it's wrong and don't try to justify it so they can feed their cravings.but how does a pedophile realize there is something wrong, unless they acted on it??? which can be as lil' as something as looking at children inappropriately, which is still acting on their criminal illness...
some sort of action had to has occurred first before theyre able to become self aware, which is often brought on by guilt & it's guilt that teaches us that an action we made is wrong to begin with...
i'm just sayingggg, seems kind of impossible to me for a pedophile to come to that acknowledgment without having done something inexcusably wrong first 🤷🏼♀️
maybe @Camp Real will has one of these realizations too after this, & seek help outside the internet
Many of them do seem to think there's no problem and it's a societal issue that is wrong (look at the excuses priests use). Those people cannot be rehabilitated. It's a lot like narcissism where they don't see it and think there's nothing wrong which is why narcissism was once thought to be rare because less than 3% of people get diagnosed with it. You can't get a mental diagnosis if you don't set one up, which would require one to step outside the box and evaluate yourself.
