They get off on hurting kids regardless of how they or people that want to defend them frame it . They want to hurt kids . Pedophiles are aroused by children , not necessarily by hurting children . Consider this A person wants to jump off a cliff and fly . That is not possible to do , and if they jumped off a cliff , they would fall to their death .

Neanderthals were probably smarter than us . <| sep |> I had a conversation with a girlfriend who worried about how attractive she was to men . She didn ' t wear makeup and is the type who just wears tshirt and jeans . She was worried she needed to dress up to get a guy ' s attention . So I asked her if she did start dressing up and wearing makeup . if she would actually want to be with that kind of guy who was attracted to that ? She laughed and said , no ! She herself is attracted to the bespectacled nerdy boy who wears jeans and tshirts .
