Why do you call people who have Sex with children, pedophiles? What’s that got to do Masturbation with the aid of a child’s body with love? There can be more than a happy to have in the sense of “I’ve got roast pork (or whatever) like”. Is Like and Love the same?

dear Mrs. N.

A Philatelist is a Person who loves stamps, and a Francophile is a Person who loves France. I think with the etymology of the word “pedophilia” is not going to get very far. What is known today as homophobia is not a fear of the sexual have for some people, Homo–, like other vaccination spiders or large places, but the tendency of homosexuals to abuse, or strike together. To love and Love can only be achieved with the definitional crowbar to distinguish from each other.

suitable for Everyday use, so a distinction is not. (It is not claimed that, Yes, the Swiss are incapable of love because “I love you” Swiss German “i han di yarn” means.) It does not make sense, to distinguish true love from false love, if you want to say actually, but only that the love is acceptable, the other highly reprehensible.

Real love can be highly problematic.

it would be better To accept that there is real love, which is at the same time, highly problematic. There are pedophiles that remain, such as pigs behavior (to Fry); there are such people but also among the heterosexual and Homophile. And there are certainly pedophiles who love kids so “real” (whatever that means then), the number of adult people love each other. If pedophilia would only be a Problem of the authenticity or unauthenticity of love, one would have to formulate the offence to be different.

Maybe there are even rapists love their victims “really”, but we would probably wouldn’t want you to go unpunished. Compared to pedophiles, you would have to make a claim that your love should lead the children in a reasonable manner to a renunciation of sexuality with children.

There are certainly pedophiles who see themselves and behave (and the absence of suffering). It probably reads, of which you are never in the newspaper. And if so, then in the context of self-help groups or institutions such as “No perpetrators” (in Switzerland: www.forio.ch/therapien/paedophilie/).

These people, with their relationship to the children was roast basically just the same as a pig, will not do it justice.
