Quotes from: A Long Dark Shadow;
221 p.
My research participants were all minor-attracted people who refrained from any sexual contact with minors, all of whom were dedicated to living lives free of offending. This book is about them: how they form identities as minor-attracted idividuals, how they cope with the stigma they face from society. and how they strategize not to commit offenses.
I use the terms "minor attracted person" and "MAP" throughout the majority of this book ... as an established umbrella term ... with a less stigmatizing nature.
I am writing this book with two main foci - the prevention of child abuse and the promotion of wellbeing among MAPs - because protecting children is important, because MAPs are people who deserve compassion (bold is chosen by Ipce), and because these foci are not contradictairy.
It is possible that treating MAPs with empathy is the key (Bold is chosen by Ipce).
Chapter 1 is titled as "Am I a Monster?" The start of the closing word of the book reads: In each interview I asked participants what they would say to a MAP who was just beginning to realize they were attracted to minors. Far and away, the most common response was "You are not a monster."
It has been my goal with this book to make clear the distinction between MAPs and sexual offenders, and to reaffirm that attractions are not equivalent to action.
While the MAPs I spoke to in the course of my research often had experienced many struggles, many were able to find happiness, understanding, and the dignity they had been searching for. They found this dignity through the ability to be seen by others and to have their wellbeing recognized as important, through the knowledge that there were other people out there like them, and through validation that they were not destined to become monsters just because of their attractions.

Turning Points and Chains of Changings …
I will highlight some turning points and the changes that have followed within the Netherlands during the last ten decades.
First: liberalization. Then: some severe incidents > Moral Panic > magnifying the incident > more rules and laws > gradually fading out the panic.
More and more severe rules and laws followed.
Pro- and Contra Groups appeared.
Two contrasting trends are visible. Contra groups, but also more nuanced ideas of professional helpers, researchers and even the popular press: the difference between pedophilia (feeling) and pedosexuality (acts) is acknowledged. The ‘pedophiles’ themselves have developed a new ethical code [...]
Here appears [...] the “NOMAP”, the Non Offending Minor Attracted person. He or she might become welcome in society, no longer as a ‘distorted patient’, but as a person with a less common (sexual) orientation, which is not dangerous as long as the person has the self-discipline to control his or her impulses, just as every (sexual) orientation demands to every person.

Villain Journalism
There are two recent anti-"pedophilic" murders, one Russian and one Ukrainian, seemingly influenced by pro-"pedophilic" propaganda, mine and of the Right-To-Love Internet portal, which published the story of a Belarussian man Roman Tsiro buried alive because of his platonic relations with a high school girl on the 22th of April 2019. This pro-"pedophilic" propaganda seems to inspire the Russian police to invent the news about bloody revenge in the Tutaev city ...
Tenths of fictious details circulate in the city about this story…
In short, the Tutaev anti-"pedophilic" murder was invented by Russian policemen to mock the death of Roman Tsiro. ...
Another anti-"pedophilic" murder, one in my city (...), was invented by the Ukrainian police and journalists on May 18th 2020. ...
Wherever this story is posted, some hints are added about so-called pedophiles "raping" children in another cities, so that murders are invented by journalists in order to heroize anti-"pedophilic" villains as the only force that can save children.

The age of the girls and the boys in the Tanner stages
The studies listed were identified by the author in 2017 using a systematic literature search. ...
In recent decades, the age at which girls reach puberty has declined by 0.24 years per decade, [...] Therefore, it may be that in the last five years since the literature review was conducted, the age at reaching puberty has decreased slightly. ...
Girls do not typically reach puberty at age eleven, as has been widely claimed (...), but rather at age nine. ...
Girls are not in Tanner stage 4 (...) at 15 to 16/17 years, but at twelve to 14 years. ...
Accordingly, the desire of girls from the age of ten and of boys from the age of eleven was and is not evidence of preferential desire of prepubescents ("pedophilia").

Quotes from: Compassion-focused therapy as an intervention for sexual offending
Conclusion:
The development of trauma–aware practice demonstrates the prevalence of adverse child experiences in the histories of people with sexual offences an points to functional links between trauma and sexual offending. However, common feature of the predominant intervention models is a focus on criminogenic needs without attention to the (often traumatic) genesis for these.
We have argued here that survival responses to trauma and adversity give rise to the development of criminogenic needs, and it is necessary to address the origins of criminogenic factors in order to prevent further harm. We propose that CFT offers a therapeutic model for doing this, providing a means to formulate criminogenic needs in the context of trauma and a means of developing a motivation that moves people away from harmful behaviour. The two case examples of interventions that use CFT as their main component show promising outcomes for psychological wellbeing and acknowledgment risk.

Approximately 0.5 percent of all "perpetrators" of "sexual abuse" of "minors" are "pedophilic" men,
Feb 17 2022
For orientation in advance, a brief summary of the following calculation: According to the available Darkfield studies,
- 74 percent of all "perpetrators" of "sexual abuse" of "minors" are "minors" (people under 18 years of age) and
- only 26 percent are adults (women and men 18 years of age and older).
- 14 percent of all "perpetrators" are female and
- 86 percent are male, according to available dark field studies.
We assume here that this result based on "minor" and adult "perpetrators" also applies to adult "perpetrators". Then
- 4 percent of all "perpetrators" are women and
- 23 percent are men.
According to two Darkfield studies, about 2 percent of all adult males who have "sexually abused" "minors" are estimated to have a sexual age preference for prepubescents (people in the 0 to 9/10 age range). Accordingly, approximately 0.5 percent of all "perpetrators" of "sexual abuse" of "minors" are "pedophilic" adult males.

Ambivalence
The author sees a 'blind spot' in quantitative research, a.o. of Rind c.s.
In the quantitavie research, there is a line between +1 and -1, with zero between both figures: 'neutral' between 'positive' and 'negative.
In the qualitative view, there are two positions possible between positive and negative: neutral and ambivalent: positive and negative both.
The ambivalent feelings may be felt during the act, thus empirically, but also may have came up by influences later by other people: 'It was nice, but I have learned that is was bad, thus morally wrong'.
The latter view is quite often given by a psychologist with a blind eye for attachment problems within the family: 'That dirty man have caused all your problems', or even 'has destroyed your life', whereafter the parents think: 'We are OK'.

The power of social touch;
The Washington Post,
Feb 09 2023
Studies show that social touch is essential to our mental well-being and can reduce stress and pain while helping us bond with one another. [...]
Social touch is so important for our well-being that we have specific cells in our skin to detect it. [...]
Social touch causes the release of the social-bonding hormone oxytocin in the brain, which is thought to reduce anxiety and pain. [...]
Research opens up a potential target for future therapeutics that can use the skin to access reward circuits to help treat trauma or depression.

Associations of the ten original Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) with mental health impairments after controlling for the other ACEs (meta-analysis)
The ten original ACEs (including emotional, physical, and "sexual abuse") are associated with mental impairment among the people affected in countless studies. The corresponding bivariate associations are to a considerable extent confounding bias. The extent of the causal relationships is unresolved. [...]
Methode: A systematic literature search was conducted to search for studies that determined the associations of each of the ten original ACEs with mental impairment in "minors" or adults after controlling for each of
the nine other original ACEs (and other ACEs, if applicable). [...]
Conclusions: The causal relationships between the ten original ACEs and mental health impairments are smaller than widely suspected. In the case of several original ACEs, long-term important negative health consequences
are not to be assumed. The ACEs concept should be fundamentally
reconsidered.
Limitations: Also, because of the many uncontrolled confounding variables (including genes and other ACEs), the associations identified by the metaanalysis are not precise causal effect sizes.

Results: The magnitude of the bivariate associations between the ten original ACEs and mental health impairments is typically medium across
studies (median r=0.22), typically very small (r=0.07) after controlling for the nine other original ACEs, and even smaller (r=0.05) after controlling for additional ACEs. The ACEs incarceration of a household member (r=-0.01) and witnessing violence against the mother/parents (r=0.01) are not associated with mental health impairments after controlling for more than each of the nine other original ACEs. These associations are also very low for the ACEs "sexual abuse", divorce/separation of parents, and alcohol/drug problem of a household member (r=0.04 each).

The spectacular achievements of media control
Update of this article: 2024:
When most Americans think about aggression in our society, our first thoughts are apt to include children being abused and/or killed by sick or outrightly criminal adults. We usually don't consider the somewhat broader context of what is going on behind the use of these issues, or the time periods in which they are most emphasized; in fact, in not seeing this we miss out on a crucial issue that comes down to what kind of society we want to live in.

Zitate von: Zusammenhänge der zehn ursprünglichen Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) mit Beeinträchtigungen der mentalen Gesundheit nach einer Kontrolle der anderen ACEs (Metaanalyse)
Die zehn ursprünglichen ACEs (u. a. emotionaler, körperlicher und „sexueller Missbrauch“) sind in unzähligen Studien mitmentalen Beeinträchtigungen der Betroffenen assoziiert. Die entsprechenden bivariaten Zusammenhänge sind zu einem erheblichen Teil Confounding-Bias. Das Ausmaß der ursächlichen Zusammenhänge ist ungeklärt.
[... ... ...]
Ergebnisse: Die Größe der bivariaten Zusammenhänge zwischen den zehn ursprünglichen ACEs und den Beeinträchtigungen der mentalen Gesundheit ist in den Studien typischerweise mittel (Median r=0,22), nach einer
Kontrolle der neun anderen ursprünglichen ACEs typischerweise sehr klein (r=0,07) und nach einer zusätzlichen Kontrolle weiterer ACEs noch kleiner (r=0,05). Die ACEs Inhaftierung eines Haushaltsmitgliedes (r=-0,01) und Miterleben von Gewalt gegen die Mutter/Eltern (r=0,01) sind nach einer Kontrolle von mehr als den neun jeweils anderen ursprünglichen ACEs nicht mit eeinträchigungen der mentalen Gesundheit assoziiert. Sehr gering sind diese ssoziationen auch bei den ACEs „sexueller Missbrauch“, Scheidung/Trennung der Eltern und Alkohol-/Drogenproblem eines Haushaltsmitgliedes (jeweils r=0,04).
Schlussfolgerungen: Die ursächlichen Zusammenhänge zwischen den zehn ursprünglichen ACEs und den Beeinträchtigungen der mentalen Gesundheit sind kleiner als vielfach vermutet. Bei mehreren ursprünglichen ACEs ist insgesamt nicht von langfristig bedeutsamen negativen gesundheitlichen Folgen auszugehen. Das ACEs-Konzept ist grundsätzlich zu überdenken.
Begrenzungen: Auch wegen der vielen nicht kontrollierten Störvariablen (u. a. Gene und weitere ACEs) sind die von der Metaanalyse ermittelten Zusammenhänge keine präzisen ursächlichen Effektgrößen.

Die ursächlichen Zusammenhänge zwischen den zehn ursprünglichen ACEs und den Beeinträchtigungen der mentalen Gesundheit sind kleiner als vielfach vermutet. Bei mehreren ursprünglichen ACEs ist insgesamt nicht von langfristig bedeutsamen negativen gesundheitlichen Folgen auszugehen.
Das ACEs-Konzept ist grundsätzlich zu überdenken.
Begrenzungen:
Auch wegen der vielen nicht kontrollierten Störvariablen (u. a. Gene und weitere ACEs) sind die von der Metaanalyse ermittelten Zusammenhänge keine präzisen ursächlichen Effektgrößen.
Die zehn ursprünglichen ACEs (u. a. emotionaler, körperlicher und „sexueller Missbrauch“) sind in unzähligen Studien mit mentalen Beeinträchtigungen der Betroffenen assoziiert. Die entsprechenden bivariaten Zusammenhänge sind zu einem erheblichen Teil Confounding-Bias. Das Ausmaß der ursächlichen Zusammenhänge istungeklärt. [...]
Methode:
Mit einer systematischen Literaturrecherche wurde nach Studien gesucht, die bei „Minderjährigen“ oder Erwachsenen die Zusammenhänge der zehn ursprünglichen ACEs mit mentalen Beeinträchtigungen nach einer Kontrolle der jeweils neun anderen ursprünglichen ACEs (und ggf. weiterer ACEs) ermitteln. Vierzehn Studien entsprechen dem Einschlusskriterium.

Quotes from: The Treatment Needs and Experiences of Pedohebephiles: A Systematic Review;
Archives of Sexual Behavior;
3329 - 3346,
Jul 15 2024
People with a sexual interest in children face significant barriers to seeking and receiving mental health treatment.
This review aims to bridge the gap between the treatment needs and experiences of pedohebephiles, and the services aiming to support them. [...]
Research suggests that this population experiences significant levels of distress, depression, and anxiety related to their sexual interest.
Many individuals belonging to this population would seek (median=42.3%), or have sought (median=46.5%), treatment to cope with their sexual interest or with potential related mental health repercussions.
Their experiences in treatment have been mixed, with some reporting positive experiences with empathic therapists and others reporting rejection. Most frequently, pedohebephiles report fear of exposure and rejection as barriers to seeking treatment, in addition to fear of the legal repercussions. [...]
The findings indicate that the treatment needs of pedohebephiles often remain unaddressed. Suggestions to increase the fit between treatment services and the needs of pedohebephiles are put forward.

Quotes from: Sexual Violence Against Children and Adolescents;
Deutsches Ärzteblatt | Jg. 122 | Heft 11 | 30. Mai 2025;
122(11), ,
May 30 2025
Methods:
A representative sample of the German population aged 18 to 59 was selected for this survey with the aid of Infratest dimap (a private polling company). The participants were asked to fill in a combination of written postal and online questionnaires in a mixed-mode design from January to October 2024.
Results:
10 000 people were contacted in writing (response rate: 30.2%). 12.7% [...] stated that they were affected by sexual violence, including 20.6% of all women and 4.8% of all men. Men had more frequently experienced sexual violence in sports and leisure facilities, in a church context, and in the setting of government-provided child, youth, and family services. 37.4% [...] of the affected persons had not previously reported the crime to anyone. 31.7% [...] of respondents reported sexual violence via the internet and social media. The mental health of affected persons was poorer than that of unaffected persons.
Conclusion:
Many cases of sexual violence go unreported. The different settings in which these offenses are committed, e.g., the preponderance of male victims in institutional settings, further imply a need for differentiated protection strategies, addressing both potential victims and potential perpetrators.

Zitate von: Sexualisierte Gewalt gegen Kinder und Jugendliche;
Deutsches Ärzteblatt;
122(11), 285 ... ...,
May 30 2025
Hintergrund:
Sexualisierte Gewalt zum Nachteil von Kindern und Jugendlichen im Allgemeinen ist ein weltweit verbreitetes Phänomen. Die bisherigen Kenntnisse über das Dunkelfeld und die situativen Tatkontexte sind nicht nur in Deutschland unzureichend.
Methode:
In Zusammenarbeit mit infratest-dimap wurde eine auf Repräsentativität ausgelegte deutsche Bevölkerungsstichprobe von Personen, die zwischen 18 und 59 Jahren alt waren, erstellt. Die Befragung wurde als Kombination aus schriftlich-postalischer und Online-Befragung im sogenannten Mixed-Mode-Design im Zeitraum Januar 2024 bis Oktober 2024 durchgeführt.
Ergebnisse:
Insgesamt wurden 10 000 Personen schriftlich kontaktiert, die Rücklaufquote betrug 30,2 %.
Die Gesamtzahl der von sexualisierter Gewalt Betroffenen lag bei 12,7 % [...].
Die Betroffenenrate betrug bei Frauen 20,6 % und lag bei Männern bei 4,8 %. Auffällig war, dass Männer häufiger sexualisierte Gewalt in Sport- und Freizeiteinrichtungen, im kirchlichen Kontext und im Rahmen der Kinder-, Jugend- und Familienhilfe erlebten.
37,4 % [...] der Betroffenen hatten bisher keiner Person von der Tat berichtet.
Von sexualisierte Gewalterfahrung über das Internet und soziale Medien berichteten 31,7 % [...] der Befragten.
Das psychische Befinden der von sexualisierter Gewalt Betroffenen war schlechter als das der Nichtbetroffenen.
Schlussfolgerung:
Die Ergebnisse weisen auf ein erhebliches Dunkelfeld hin. Die Ergebnisse zu den
unterschiedlichen Tatkontexten, zum Beispiel das Überwiegen von männlichen Betroffenen im institutionellen Kontext, zeigen auch die Notwendigkeit differenzierter Schutzkonzepte sowohl bezüglich der Schutzbefohlenen als auch im Hinblick auf potenzielle Täterinnen und Täter.

Warum die neue deutsche Studie „Sexualisierte Gewalt gegen Kinder und Jugendliche“ Pseudowissenschaft und irreführende Propaganda ist,
Jun 16 2025
Am 2. Juni 2025 veröffentlichte das Deutsche Ärzteblatt den Artikel „Sexualisierte Gewalt gegen Kinder und Jugendliche. Eine bundesweite, auf Repräsentativität ausgelegte Befragung zu Prävalenz, situativem Kontext und den Folgen“.
Am selben Tag veröffentlichten die deutschen Leitmedien ausführliche und überwiegend gleichlautende Berichte über die Ergebnisse der Studie. „Sexualisierte Gewalt“ wurde in der Befragung des Zentralinstituts für Seelische Gesundheit in Mannheim so definiert:
„Jede Handlung mit sexuellem Bezug, die gegenüber Personen unter 14 Jahren oder gegen den Willen einer Person unter 18 Jahren geschieht. Dies umfasst jegliche Handlungen mit und ohne Körperkontakt, zum Beispiel sexuelle Belästigung, sexuelle Nötigung bis hin zu versuchtem und vollzogenem Eindringen in den Körper.“
Befragt wurden 3.012 zufällig ausgewählte Menschen aus Deutschland im Alter
von 18 bis 59 Jahren.
Zwei zentrale Ergebnisse der Studie sind also (angeblich): „Sexualisierte Gewalt“ gegen Kinder und Jugendliche ist sehr weit verbreitet und die meisten „Täterinnen“ und „Täter“ sind (wesentlich ältere) Erwachsene.
In diesem Artikel möchte ich beschreiben und begründen, warum die Studie
pseudowissenschaftlich und verunglückt ist.
