Something Weird...

[Stark]

I know this sounds sick, but I find young kids attractive; never in a millions years, would I sexually assault children or anything like that, because it's not like I only find children attractive, I also find people my own age attractive, and I even find people twice my age attractive. I'd do anything not to be attracted to kids, but I can't help it. So I was wandering, is this just a part of puberty? and if it isn't than does anybody else have the same problem as me? and should I do anything about it? If so, what?:(

I think you are just attracted to everything and everyone. I don't know what it's called, but then again, why does it need to be called anything?

So, honestly I think this is just a stage that hormones are at the command off. Of course we are all most likely to focus on the younger children bit, and yes that is NOT a good thing. But if you find everyone else attractive and you are 100% sure that you don't want to do anything with them then I think it's fine and hopefully you'll grow out of that stage.

The reason as to why i'm so carm about this, is because you said your attracted to everybody, your own age, people older than you...etc
So don't worry, and as long as you don't do anything, it should pass by and you can stick two fingers up to it.

Well, it depends on what you're defining as 'attractive'.

If it means that you recognize beauty, personal appearance, then I think it's probably OK. There's nothing wrong with recognizing that someone of any age or gender is attractive.

If it means that you view younger kids in a sexual way, if you find that you're aroused by them, then that might be a diff story. Typically, most people find others about their own age the most sexually desirable. When those feelings are directed at people whose age is significantly diff than their own, it's most often rooted in some psychological issue or need. At this age, finding younger kids arousing could be something as 'harmless' as being insecure about your own developing sexuality and a desore to return to a simpler time, or as 'concerning' as an awareness of sexual abuse experienced at an earlier time.

In either even, the most important thing is to make sure you keep it all in your head, don't act on any of it. Curiously, I think most pedophiles did NOT wake up one day and say that they were going to act on those urges, it just sorta happens.

If you find the urges don't retreat, or get stronger ,or you're more disturbed by them (and of course, if you think you might lose control) tell an adult immediately and get some help.

well i am more attracted to people my age and my gender then others(13/male). i believe it is caused by hormones. they cause everything else in this racket called puberty. (i.e. confused sexuality, hair growth, spontaneous erections, etc.)

give it time for your hormones to settle down i guess.
