DEVIATIONS THAT INFRINGE THE LAW: PAEDOPHILIA

The word “paedophilia” means love of children – which would be a very worthy sentiment if it were not a perverse sexual love and a crime in the eyes of the law.

It is a mistake to assume that the paedophile rapes children. Most paedophiles never do more than caress the child and touch or show their genitals. If caught, they are charged with indecent exposure, indecent assault or corruption of minors.

The typical characteristics of the paedophile are weakness and timidity. He shrinks from relationships with mature women for fear of being dominated rather than dominant. With a little girl everything seems easier, even if he does not go all the way to full sexual relations. Little girls are generally submissive because of their upbringing in the family. And they are innocent: in other words they have little awareness of the notions of good and evil. It is this that attracts the paedophile.

A paedophile is generally of a gentle and unaggressive nature. He rarely uses coercion to have his way with a child. He merely takes advantage of the child’s naivety, of the fact that she does not know what is “allowed” and what is not. In most cases she also trusts the paedophile because he is someone known to her – a family friend, or someone she has met in normal, everyday circumstances. He may be a priest, a teacher or a sports instructor, for example.

Paedophilia is not specific to heterosexuals or homosexuals; a paedophile may be interested in boys, girls or both.

Paedophilia is a typically male perversion. Even so, there is a point to be made here that shows very clearly how are judgements are twisted by moral conceptions. A woman can freely hug, kiss, caress and dandle a young child without anyone thinking it odd. But a man does not have that freedom to express affection: he will immediately be seen as a paedophile even if he has no sexual thoughts in mind.

Be this as it may, parents are strongly recommended to put their children on guard against this kind of encounter, and explain the reasons – though the explaining is hard to do and is very often neglected.

Paedophilia, like homosexuality, is difficult to cure. The paedophile has not chosen to be that way. He is a victim of impulses he cannot control. The most he can do is to try and integrate into adult society. If he manages this and has good sexual relations with adults, his paedophile tendencies may fade into the background or die out altogether.

Paedophilia in the family may be far more common than is generally recognized. Beyond the normal physical expression of affection and tenderness between parent and child, there is a whole range of possible activities, even without going as far as intercourse or coercive “child abuse” in the proper sense.
