“Tom O’Carroll says:
Gebhard’s survey, cited in chapter 3 of my book Paedophilia: The Radical Case (full text access these days, just google the title), found that non-coital sexual activity, mostly genital touching, accounted for no less than 94% of offences against girls under 12. In offences against boys under 12, an even larger proportion, 97% did not involve anal intercourse, most of the activity being manual-genital (45%) and oral-genital (38%).”
“Tom O’Carroll says:
Nickolas Schaffer says there is no point getting indignant with him “just because some of these men want to have sex with 6-year-olds and some want sex with 14-year-olds”. I doubt if facts will work better with you than indignation, Nickolas, but I’ll give it a try. Gebhard’s survey, cited in chapter 3 of my book Paedophilia: The Radical Case (full text access these days, just google the title), found that non-coital sexual activity, mostly genital touching, accounted for no less than 94% of offences against girls under 12. In offences against boys under 12, an even larger proportion, 97% did not involve anal intercourse, most of the activity being manual-genital (45%) and oral-genital (38%). Paedophiles are for the most part attracted to older children. A survey of PIE members showed that male paedophiles tend to be most attracted to boys aged 11-15, and to girls aged 8-11.
Contrary to your sweeping assertion, BL and GL activists do not want the right to have sex with children. That would be up to the children themselves. The emphasis, rather, is on everyone’s right to sexual self-determination, which includes every child’s right not to have sexual relations with anyone, as well as the right from birth onwards to sexual engagement with their own body and (from an age when they can express their preferences) those of any other children or older people who are up for it. As Donald West, Cambridge University emeritus professor of clinical criminology said of paedophiles: “… their approaches to children are almost always affectionate and gentle, and the sex acts which occur, mostly mutual display and fondling, resemble the sexual behaviour that goes on between children.” In Paedophilia: The Radical Case I proposed 12 as a minimum age for coitus, but as you think books like mine are just “for paedophiles” you wouldn’t know this: it suits your shoot-from-the-hip style to do without the relevant facts. This book is currently cited 89 times on Scholar Google. If you are claiming, Nickolas, that all these academics are paedophiles, you could have a few libel suits on your hands!”
I generally prefer linking directly to accredited research…but it’s often really hard to locate and decipher, where it comes to these specific questions…And the more you journey through activism, research, debates, agency practices…the more you come to understand, how answers to these questions appear to be intentionally kept in a fog.
So…I republish this, even if it is comments on a blog…because it’s far better than having nothing.
02) Paedophilia The Radical Case – 2014 Revised Edition
If you are in any way involved in the sexual rights movement and you’ve never read Paedophilia The Radical Case…Shame on you!
This is easily one of the best, most honest books ever written, on the topic of pedophilia.
In my opinion…absolutely nobody has any validity, taking a position on pedophilia without first clearly understanding the issues involved…The Radical Case is an excellent starting point.
…Dogma and rhetoric do not count as understanding!
