[Closed] Apparently 1 in 35 adult males...

although I'm going to be suspicious that the next 5 new posters are just sneaking in while the odds are in their favour.

*puts down Barbie doll*

I'll take those odds.

*picks Barbie doll back up*

I'm just amazed we got this far without mentioning Lazytown...

[couger]Except it isn't, is it. I'm sure there are plenty of 'young adults' who are sexually and emotionally mature before their 16th birthday, and plenty more who still aren't well into their 20s.

I was just pointing out how disjointed even our child protection legislation is, with different Acts written in different decades having a different interpretation of "child". We are moving more to under 18 being a child (recent changes in PACE now mean under 18s need an appropriate adult when in police custody), with the age of sexual consent appearing to be more of an anomaly now.

Odd, isn't it. You can have sex at 16 but have to wait another two years before you can watch someone else doing it.

Maybe they interviewed a group of 1970's DJ's and TV presenters??

The one I find weird is that you can go off to war and kill (and die) for your country before you're allowed to vote for the ****ers that decide to send you there..

That's not odd, it's just frustrating since your a) highly unlikely to be getting it regularly at 16 and b) because of a) you'd really benefit from having access to porn.

Do they have to shut their eyes?

Technically they can't anymore, they can only train until they are 18.

However, squaddies are pretty good at killing themselves in training and road accidents, to the point that being killed in a war is about as likely as the former two events.

There's been 35 posters already, so which one of you is it?

36 posters now. I think we'd established who one was when there were only 35, but presumably there are now 2...

But that would make it one in 18

So when I was 19 and I got funky with this 16yr old bird I met in a club does that count, does it make me a Paedo, too be fair she did look older and if there's grass on the pitch....

... you get green knees?

Has anyone checked who were the first 35 posters on this thread - cos one of them must be a nonce!

Has anyone checked if he read the thread 😉

[quote=scotroutes opined]But that would make it one in 18

but that is perfectly legal ...pay attention will you.

So much inaccuracy in here.

The 1/35 stat has been around for a long time, and is based on the number of identified peodophiles Vs gen pop. The stats obviously being based on the criminal definition of peodophilia.

Yes it's an abhorent, but it's is defined as a sexual preference (which is something that I really struggled to come to term with whilst at uni and during my first few working years) and i'm not sure how (without chemical castration) we can treat or divert it in future. Throughout my career i have come across both adult's who have abused children, and children who have abused their minors and gone on to be really dangerous predatory individuals. It is so much more wide spread than most people would think.

the Sun that had a countdown to a girl reaching the age of consent?

I can remember the Daily Sport having a countdown to Lindsey Dawn Mackenzie's 16th birthday and thus being able to get her baps out in the newspaper on that day, following a prolonged build up of clothed and I think school uniform pics, as I was the same age as her and very interested! It wouldn't happen now in the UK but isn't that different from the aforementioned Daily Wail side column and comments, just without the actual baps being shown in the Wail.

😯

If there are 31 million over 18 males in the UK, that means there are 1 million identified paedophiles, give or take a bit of rounding.

Can that be true? If there are 1 million identified, how many unidentified?

Except it isn't, is it. I'm sure there are plenty of 'young adults' who are sexually and emotionally mature before their 16th birthday, and plenty more who still aren't well into their 20s.

I'm going to go out on a limb here - and it's a flipping spindly dodgy limb I admit but.......in a strictly biological sense is it any harder to reconcile adults finding minors sexually attractive than adults finding someone of their own gender sexually attractive? Yes, I understand that in 21st century western society they are morally very different and I totally go along with that (social conditioning?) but if you strip away social norms and the huge elephant in the room of adults taking advantage of children unable to 'fight back' if they act on those urges is it any more odd?

Surely if we weren't supposed to be sexually attracted to children then god wouldn't have made them so sexy.

😆

That's properly made me lol!!!

What percentage of teenage girls are sexually interested in slightly overweight 40 plus men?

Just asking like.

The 1/35 stat has been around for a long time, and is based on the number of identified peodophiles Vs gen pop.

If that's true, then one of these two must be the case..

1: they adjusted the stat to take into account "unidentified" paedophiles (meaning they essentially guessed, so the stat is worthless.)

2: they didn't adjust for "unidentified" paedophiles, and 1 in 35 is waaay too low.

Either way, can't see how that statistic can be true.

Biologically, you're probably right.

Morally, you're very, very wrong.

Which is why I continued and said:-

Yes, I understand that in 21st century western society they are morally very different and I totally go along with that

Shame you clipped the quote and then chose to criticise the first element. I thought your debating style was a little more sophisticated than that.

History shows morals are transient though.

eurghhh... there are some very ****ing creepy opinions being put forward here.. 😯

Did the letter from the 14 year old include the line "he's got your eyes"?

I do agree moral change with the times

* i suppose it hangs on what we mean by minor
Technically a young female has far greater fecundity than an older female so we should be , biologically, more attracted to the former than the later.
