Am i a Pedo?

---

I am 15 and have masturbated over preteen porn/some CP. does it make me a pedo or could it be hormones/habit of doing it?

Hi 1N33DH33LP, it doesn't look good. I must point out that that sort of porn is very dangerous for you to have or download - it could send you to prison. I would urge you to avoid it and try to get more confidence with people your own age. (I have a feeling that a confidence issue is often at the bottom of it.)

I agree. If it is on your computer, delete it. That doesn't get rid of all traces of it, but it will prevent you from accessing it again. If what you have it printed, destroy it--preferably by burning, but make sure it is completely burned to ashes.

Avoid this in the future. You are looking at some very serious trouble if you are found with it.

Could it just be because iv done it once so im doing it again then? And its a habit/lack of confidence with girls my age?

It could very well be either of these, but I'd truly suggest that you'd be smart to give it up. It's not healthy and more importantly, it's not legal.

I think it would be helpful to push yourself to get to know girls your age better. That will improve your self-confidence.

That kind of pornography ruins lives... Being blunt at 15, your probably horny enough to masturbate to just about anything..however, I would highly recommend avoiding that.

You aren't necessarily a pedo, I mean you're still young so if the age difference isn't large then it makes sense... but it's still largely illegal. Are you JUST attracted to younger girls, or are you attracted to 18&up as well?If you're just attracted to younger girls, I highly suggest seeing a psychologist/psychiatrist. It's best to deal with these things while you are young, before it develops into something you don't want it to. If you're really ashamed and don't want to tell your parents, tell them you are depressed and would like to see a psychologist/counsellor/psychiatrist etc. These people can find deep rooted issues that could be the cause of this, and if not, they can at least help you with your urges by giving you strategies to control them.Oh and by the way, I would suggest getting rid of that computer. If it's brand new then you can't for obvious reasons, but if it's older I'd suggest getting rid of it. That stuff is traceable forever, if they wanted to find it, they easily could. Deleting it deletes it form obvious inspection, but unless you dump the harddrive in acid you've got no luck. I wouldn't sell it to someone else either, because then if they got caught with it, it would get traced back to you.This is serious stuff, even though a lawyer could have an easier time defending you in a court of law, you don't want to become a registered sex offender at the age of fifteen. I don't mean to scare you but it's a reality.

If he's a 15 year old looking at 13 year olds, it's not so weird. But if he's looking at 8 year olds, it's still a problem he needs to deal with. But, like you said, either way it's illegal.

You just restated what I said in a different way.

Why not look at adult porn? At least you're not at risk of getting arrested for looking at and possessing child porn. Is a 15 year old looking at adult porn as risky?

Risk to the child? Not really, but to the person who might have distributed the porn to the child? Absolutely!But in most cases, kids today get their porn off the internet and not much can be done in those cases. Though I still think if there are children at home, something like NetNanny should be placed on computer to secure those sites so minors cannot access them.

Would it matter is was an adult oriented (like the ones that have warnings to not enter if you're under 18) site that the child accessed?

I doubt the child would get into trouble, but as for the parent that might be a different situation especially if they did nothing to block the sites.But honestly it's not something we're likely to hear much about, because in honesty how would anyone find out? In situations I hear its usually the parents finding out the child is looking at porn... not the porn sites finding out a minor is looking at their porn.

It seems a lot less risky for him than the kid stuff....

I certainly cannot disagree there :smile:

In any case, remember to STOP using it after you turn 18!!

All persons have differant sexual tastes and at your age,you probably are trying a variety to find out where yours lie,be they gay,bi,hetero,older for younger,younger for older,male,female,she male,transvestite,transgender etc.,stc.In most of the USA,any depiction of sex acts of those under 18,be they live,film,video or on the computer are illegal and can get the user long prison terms,longer than murder,and put on the national and state sex offender regisry.If ones enjoys the depiction of adult and miors in sex acts,I would suggest as others have done to stop immediately and confine yourself to age appropriate sexuality such as pleasuring etc.without the aid of minors depicted in sexual actions with or without adults on the photos.chubbi
