Children can consent to sex, and no, I am not a pedophile.

So just to make that very clear, before we start:

* I am **not** a pedophile.
* I have no interest in children **at all**.
* I've never seen or searched for media of this kind.
* I have never done or thought about doing anything sexual to them.
* In fact, I think children are pretty much disgusting and annoying beings. If anything, I try to avoid them.

So with that out of the way, let's start the actual topic.

I think we all read some confessions of pedophiles, of them saying they don't think it's wrong, because children can consent to this. And to be honest, I think they're not lying.

The reason why I think it's not a lie, is because I know how I've been as a child myself. I started to masturbate very early, being 5 or 6 years old. And I've loved it, did it multiple times per day, once I discovered it. I've had a very high libido since then on.

And wanting to find out more about it, I watched porn. At least that kind they've played in the TV at night. And since I've had my own TV, in my own room, that was pretty cool.

***And god, would I have loved if one of those women joined me while I masturbated, riding my dick, beinding over for me so I could fuck them, so I can experience my first time.*** Yes, 6 year old me thought this thing. And never once I felt like that my thoughts were wrong about it. I ***__wanted__*** to have sex as a child. Only that I could never get it. I would've enjoyed the fuck out of that, quite literally.

So, should it be legal? **No.** Better to keep it illegal to protect the children who are *not* like me.

Do I think it's right? Well, I do not condone rape. And I do believe children are easy to be manipulated. In that sense, it's certainly wrong. Though in my personal case, I did all the discovering by myself, and I would've loved to have sex with someone. If I had the chance, I would've initiated it, asked someone for it. And that way around, I wouldn't be judgmental about it. Because then you can neither say it was rape, nor anyone was tricked or manipulated to like it. **It stemmed from an undetermined interest for learning and discovering sexuality.**

I consider myself to be a very open-minded and tolerant person. I think nothing should be executed just for principle, but for reason. Many people love seeing things just black and white all too much, always ignoring that there *can* be more to it, than they care to believe. And I am quite certain those kind of people are going to reply to this thread and cursing me names. No doubt about it. But, in an attempt to make some other people think, I'm looking forward to some interesting conversations.

**tl;dr:** I was the kind of child Santa didn't have any gifts for, because discovering sexuality is apparently inherently bad, even though I would've loved to.
