"...one has to keep in mind that despite sex being involved, most pedophiles (and rapists for that matter) aren't doing it for the sexual pleasure. They are doing it for the control aspect of having power over the abused...."

Then why don't they just put a bucket and sponge in the kid's hands and say "wash my car" or "mop my kitchen"? That's "having power" over them also, albeit in a less repulsive manner.

“Then why don’t they just put a bucket and sponge in the kid’s hands and say “wash my car” or “mop my kitchen”? That’s “having power” over them also, albeit in a less repulsive manner.”

I don’t know the answer to that... I’m not sure anyone does. Could be pedophiles are just sick, and evil.

Like I said, it’s not like there isn’t sex involved, but ultimately it is about forcing someone to do something against their will. The other things are all a specific perpetrators “preferences”, if you will, as far as how they manifest their psychological problems.

I’m not any type of a ‘profiler’ and I really don’t wish to “get inside the mind” of a pedophile, either, personally. But, there are plenty of reliable and reputable sources that have been published on the internet from all over the world, if you wish to learn more about it.

I’ll leave worrying about exactly why pedophiles use sex to manipulate and control their victim, up to the doctors, and LEOs working against these people, and to God...
