(1,782 posts)Once I saw a video in which a scientist somehow got a very young bird to see him (the scientist) as a potential mate. Something about the scientist being the first thing the bird saw out of the shell or something like that. My recollection is vague, but I think it was some kind of a very large bird. Later, when the bird was full grown, the scientist was able to get the bird excited by flapping his (the scientist's) arms up and down. Because of its early associations, the bird thought of the man as a potential sex object.
I don't know what the normal way is for people to become sexually attracted to certain other kinds of people -- that is, adults. But whatever that process is, I guess it gets distorted pretty early in life. And I suppose that's how a man or a woman gets sexually excited about a child.
There must be people who have the desire to have sex with children but see the wrongness of it. I suppose it isn't easy for such people to talk about themselves, out of fear that others would jump all over them.
