Part II --

Heterosexual-apologists are still trying to deny that heterosexuals are our sexual abusers of children.

Studies suggest that pedophiles actually have no sexual orientation but they do obviously have preferences. Our "situational" pedophiles, however, are heterosexual. They are men who prefer sexual relations with adult females, but when an adult female is not available, they will sexually abuse a child -- often a female -- but they will rape any child; even an infant.

Females are sexually abused at the rate of about 82% and Males at about 12%.

However, the statistics clearly show that heterosexuals are majorly involved in sexual abuse of children. While, imo, it is still impossible to determine what the actual percentage of homosexuals in our populations may be because so many still remain in "the closet."
However, the debate seems inane at any rate based in alleged percentages of the population.

And, there are many other reasons which increase homosexuality in our populations -- for one bi-sexuality which is generally still largely unacknowledged and under-discussed.

Not only is bi-sexuality a factor -- but the simple reality that as Kinsey has pointed out on a scale of heterosexuals and homosexuals, the great middle of the scale is varying degrees of hetero and homo sexuality And that vast middle provides an immense area where homosexual activity increases in the population.

For example ... During the AIDS crisis, in Brazil -- a Catholic country where knowledge of human sexuality is limited by the Church .... Heterosexual women in heterosexual marriages were reportedly coming down with the virus though they were neither having affairs nor drug users. Eventually, the Brazilian Doctors discovered that Brazilian males -- 30% of them -- engage in homosexual relations with other males. Something those Doctors and all of Brazilian society had no idea about!

However, homosexuals have also always suggested that they are at the minimum 20% of our populations. When we include the many other possibilities which can increase homosexual behavior by adult males, the numbers are of course much higher.

This is correct: **Men Account for Almost All Sexual Abuse of Children Cases **·

And, this is also an interesting statistic which should be emphasized here ... **Indeed, with 3,000 adult male sex offenders in prison in England and Wales at any one time, the corresponding figure for female sex offenders is 12!”

I agree as it's very clear from all studies that females are NOT our sexual abusers of children .... UNLESS they come under the influence of a heterosexual male

Kee MacFarlane, et al., writing in Sexual Abuse of Young Children: Evaluation and Treatment report:”The large majority of sexual perpetrators appear to be males (Herman and Hirschman, 1981; Lindholm and Willey, 1983).”

·** A report by the American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children states: “In both clinical and non-clinical samples, the vast majority of offenders are male.”**·

A study in the Journal of Sex Research states that “pedophilia does not exist, or is extremely rare, in women.”

Since the rise of the right wing here, we have seen increasing sex trafficking in both adult females, young males and children. I don't think we can really say that that information on numbers is really available to those who do research on these questions. I very much imagine that there are larger numbers of male victims, however they are no more "embarrassed" nor reluctant to report sexual abuse than females may be. And, as we can see from the news, probably hundreds of women are reporting sexual abuse going back decades, but only a very small numbers of males are reporting it. Only time will tell what the true numbers may be. In Saudi Arabi, clearly, the sexual abuse of males will exceed that of females. But, then again, do we really know how many females in Saudi Arabia are sexually abused by males there?

**What we do know is that MALES are our sexual abusers of children and studies show that they are heterosexual males.

That's enough for this forum to deal with right now.**

Too bad you're not the moderator to enforce your bias, which is plain as day. Definitely Orwellian Newspeak to say men who molest boys are not homosexual but pedophiles. A base definition of homosexual means a preference for sex with males, while age of consent is law not science. An adult male having sex with a boy or underage teen is a homosexual pedophile, that's a biological & legal fact.

Da-Cat --

A base definition of pedophilia is that the attraction is based on the AGE of a CHILD ... or TEENAGER... Again - pedophiles do have preferences as to the gender of their victims -- whether a male or female -- but that doesn't make them homosexuals ... it makes them sexual abusers of children.

Try reading this ....

"Focus on the Facts" -- Sean Cahill, PH.D

A 1998 Study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that 90% of pedophiles are men, and 95% of these individuals are heterosexual.

Research has indicated that gay men and lesbians are less likely than heterosexual to sexually abuse children.**

Perhaps the most egregious and damaging claim promulgated by anti-gay groups is the claim that homosexuality is intrinsically linked to pedophilia and child sexual abuse. The social science research on sexual orientation and child sexual abuse clearly disproves the claim that homosexuals are more likely to molest children.
A 1998 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that 90% of pedophiles are men, and 95% of these individuals are heterosexual. One researcher explained this statistic by noting, "Gay men desire consensual sexual relations with other adult men. Pedophiles are usually adult men who are sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children. They are rarely sexually attracted to other adults. In fact, research has indicated that gay men and lesbians are LESS likely than heterosexuals to sexually abuse children. Two studies that examined the sexual orientation of convicted child molesters found that less than 1% in one study and 0% in the other were lesbian or gay. One psychologist reviewed the existing social science literature on the relationship between sexuality and child sexual abuse and found that "a gay man is no more likely than a straight man to perpetrate sexual activity with children." Further, "cases of perpetration of sexual behavior with a pre-pubescent child by an adult lesbian are virtually nonexistent."

Gay rights activists, like all advocates for children's welfare, oppose child sexual abuse and support equitable age of consent laws that help prevent and punish such abuse. At least 110,000 children are waiting to be adopted in the US. Approximately 588,00 children are currently in foster care. Barring gay men and lesbians from adopting or foster parenting decreases the number of potential suitable homes for children in need. Children who remain in foster care for much of their childhood, as do tens of thousands of American children, are more likely to have emotional problems. Some children in foster care live in 20 or more homes by the time they reach the age of 18. Barring gay men and lesbians from adopting or foster parenting is not simply unjust and unethical; it also decreases the number of potential suitable homes for children in need. Research shows that children raised by gay and lesbian parents are not disadvantaged vis-a-vis their peers raised by heterosexual parents. Footnote 65 -- p.123

A review of 352 medical records of children evaluated for sexual abuse during a 12-month period at a Denver children's hospital found that less than 1% had been abused by a gay man or a lesbian. Of 269 adult perpetrators of child abuse identified among the 352 cases of abuse, only two were gay or lesbian. The vast majority of the children in the study (82%) "were suspected of being abused by a man or a woman who was, or had been, in a heterosexual relationship with a relative of the child." And the review concluded that in this sample, " a child's risk of being molested by his or her relative's heterosexual partner is over 100X greater [than the risk of being molested] by someone who might be identifiable as being homosexual, lesbian, or bisexual."
Jenny, C., and Roesler, T.A. (1994) Are children at risk for sexual abuse by homosexuals? Pediatrics. 94(1).p.44.

In an earlier study of convicted male child molesters in Massachusetts, none of the 175 men were found to have an exclusively homosexual adult sexual orientation or to be primarily attracted to other adult men. Groth, A.N., and Birnbaum, H.J. (1978).

You don't need to repost the same cherry-picked homosexual lobby studies several times in the same thread, while juggling the English language to deny EVERY male minor molested by a male was the result of a homosexual attraction, whether gay or bisexual. Heterosexuals are by definition repulsed by same sex contacts, why there is such animosity among many. You sound like an enabler in denial that homosexual attraction to boys & teens has been around since state-sanctioned pederasty in ancient Greece or Rome, furthermore your above agenda to give gay men boys to adopt will unlikely fly by ANYONE active in Pizzagate, but since you keep reposting the same biased studies try throwing in a link since they are dated & probably discredited.

That you are naïve enough to believe this is quite telling ...

Heterosexuals are by definition repulsed by same sex contacts<

Only the Vatican is involved in trying to blame homosexuals for sexual abuse of children.

Are you Anita Bryant -- ?

Homosexuals today can adopt children of either gender and make excellent parents.

The Boy Scouts have also given up on the homophobia --

Pederasty was at one time and in various places legal -- or at least not criminal.
As these societies gained enlightenment on the harm done to young boys by this practice these societies changed and the practice was held as abusive ... fortunately.

As I've said before, I really think that the age of consent -- whether you are male or female -- should be 18.
