Psychologist Announces New Sexual Orientation… Evens Gays Are Horrified

Throughout much of the debate over the past several years regarding same-sex marriage, the LGBT agenda, and questions of gender and sexual orientation, some have warned that the loosening of all of these definitions would lead to a slippery slope resulting in truly immoral and despicable behavior becoming viewed as almost acceptable.

It appears that we have slid down that slope now, if the words of an unidentified criminal psychologist in the U.K. are to be believed, according to the U.K.’s Independent.

In a long Reddit thread, the psychologist put forward the controversial theory that pedophilia is merely another “sexual orientation,” similar in nature to being straight or gay.

Suggesting that pedophiles are unable to change their natural inclinations to be attracted to children, he nevertheless insisted that they could be treated, with “the understanding that the attraction may always remain.”

Criminal psychologist says pedophilia should be categorized as sexual orientation, like gay/straight. What say you? https://t.co/klFFOybv8d

“With that being said, it needs to be said that sexuality is more of a spectrum than a finite category. We know that heterosexuals may engage in homosexual behavior, and deny they are bisexual or homosexual,” the psychologist explained.

“We know that individuals with pedophilia may engage in sexual behavior with adults. For some, they may use this as a cognitive distortion to explain away their sexualisation of prepubescent children.”

But, the psychologist later stated how they believed that pedophiles could be treated for their “disorder” to an extent, largely through finding other acceptable behaviors that they could engage in.

They then listed the three main areas in which child sex abusers are generally treated, including making sure they understand the concept of “consent,” understanding the risks of placing themselves in certain situations, and how to focus on other more positive aspects of their life to replace or limit their attraction to children.

Frighteningly, this idea actually isn’t all that new, but is simply beginning to gain more public attention. A German psychologist named Petya Schuhmann suggested that pedophiles should be treated like victims themselves instead of as criminal offenders.

“It is a disease, it is a trait, it is not a choice. They haven’t chosen to change, but they can learn how to live responsibly with their sexual desires,” Schuhmann said.

That theory is in line with a 2010 Harvard Mental Health Letter which stated, “pedophilia is a sexual orientation and unlikely to change. Treatment aims to enable someone to resist acting on his sexual urges.”

This is disgusting, disturbing and completely insane. Pedophilia must never be even remotely acceptable or excused in our society, for any reasons whatsoever, and this idea that it is merely just another “sexual orientation” like being hetero- or homosexual must be rejected outright. Full stop.

Please share this on Facebook and Twitter to expose the lunacy that would have us accept pedophilia as just another run-of-the-mill sexual orientation.
