    Probalby only a paedophile or a psychologist can answer this one properly.
    Many have probably been abused themselves. Those that rape children are probably into a power thing. Those that groom them... not sure if they do it for power.
    Whatever the reasons - its very sick. Some are pure evil, some I think do need some pity (they still need to be punished).
    Not a nice question to think on really but probably importnat that we do....

    • To tell the truth, I was abused at 5 or 6 and I molested my sis at 9 yrs old. (We are freinds again) I was just wondering why people feel this way in the first place ya know.

    • I konw a lot of people that have been molested and for many it does cause long lasting damage. I hope you and your sister are not one of those. (I know others who have come through it OK - but thats doesnt seem to be the norm). There is a difference between young children "playing" and molestation... If you were 9, its not the same as if you were 29 for example.... If you two are OK with each other now -thats a good sign

    • Well, my sis is kinda fucked up because she likes assholes-but it seems that A LOT of females likes assholes. I am ok I guess, I "suffer" from deppresion, I used to be suicidel, I still think on it from time to time.

      That sounds like you are usually lying.
