Childhood 'Innocence' is Not Ideal: Virtue Ethics and Child–Adult Sex
Tom O'Carroll, author of Paedophilia: The Radical Case and Michael Jackson's Dangerous Liaisons, tackles philosopher Roger Scruton's conservative stance on sexual ethics head-on. He draws on science's growing understanding of our evolved nature to sketch a vision of the future in which humanity's proven potential for cooperation and peace is allowed to flourish in a context of gentler childhoods, with a significant role for playful intimacy. Predictably anathematised in the religious and alt-right media, this essay has nevertheless already won many thousands of readers.
Childhood, Sexuality, and Danger by Agustin Malon Marco
Debate on Child Pornography's Link to Molesting
Experts have often wondered what proportion of men who download explicit sexual images of children also molest them. A new government study of convicted Internet offenders suggests that the number may be startlingly high: 85 percent of the offenders said they had committed acts of sexual abuse against minors, from inappropriate touching to rape.

Motivational and Behavioral Characteristics of Boy-attracted Pedosexual Males: Validation of a Typology Using an Internet Survey
Over the past quarter century or more, research on males who are sexually attracted to boys has focused largely on clinical patients and prisoners. In the present study, men outside these settings were recruited online to participate in a survey designed to examine a proposed typology of such males, which comprises seven classes across which the sexual dimensions of these males' relationships with boys range from purely platonic through sexually passive, active, and aggressive, while the nonsexual dimensions of nurturing and/or mentoring boys vary from substantial to absent.

Onanism and Sexual Abuse: A History of Two Obsessions - Agustin Malon Marco
This historical investigation reviews the anti-masturbatory campaigns typical of child discourse from the 17th and 18th centuries. The aim of the present article is to give a brief comparative outline in which these two preoccupations, masturbation and sexual abuse, are related in some of their most significant characteristics.
On the Iatrogenic Nature of the Child Sexual Abuse Discourse
In the last decades of the twentieth century there was an unprecedented surge of anxieties and alarm over erotic experiences involving minors and adults, which has continued as a social and scientific discourse in which these relationships invariably are seen as abusive, harmful, and criminal. In this paper, the fundamental characteristics of this discourse, whose basis and pertinence are questioned, are analyzed for their possible iatrogenic effects; i.e., those induced by professional intervention, in four key areas of social reality: the erotic dimension of human beings, individual responsibility, the use of penal law as a mechanism of social control, and fostering better relations between the sexes and generations. Critical reflection on the social and professional handling of the problem includes the undesirable effects which such treatment may be producing.

Participant Victim: Atrophy of an Oxymoron
For many decades the social sciences have struggled with the issue of the child who, in flagrant violation of cultural taboos, willingly cooperates in sexual activities with an older person, or even seeks out and initiates such activities. While some have accepted the reality of this collaboration, others presumed the child to be a de facto victim. This latter assignment, however, is contradicted by the child's willing involvement, a conundrum which led in the 1950s to the unlikely combining of two essentially diametrically opposed words into the phrase "participant victim." For a time, various authors embraced this concept; however, as victimology and child sexual abuse anxiety began to take hold in the late 1970s, the "victim" was redefined as absolutely incapable of being a "participant," and the phrase has fallen into disuse.
Pedohebephilophobia: Response to Commentaries by Janssen, Malon, and O'Carroll
Pedophilia: Should It Be a Given?
Pedophilia: The Leipzig Study of the Social and Psychical Situation of Pedophilic Men (2006)
How is intergenerational eroticism and sexuality between adults to be assessed? Is sexual consent possible? How should a sexual minority, demonized by the media and to some extent also by science, as well as affected children, be treated by society?
Peer Support and Professional Mental Health Services for Boy-Attracted Pedosexual Males
This paper reports on an Internet survey designed to evaluate the attitude toward mental health services of males who are reluctant to utilize the commonly available professional mental health services for fear that their orientation may become an issue, as well as to examine the self-perceived nature and usefulness of electronic interchanges, the extent to which these lead to "real-life" friendships, and the associated benefits and problems.
Persistence of Suppression of Childhood Sexuality
Pessimism about pedophilia
Remarks on Aggression and Sexuality, Using the Example of Child Sexual Abuse - Reinhart Lempp
Article arguing that a clear separation between sexuality on the one hand and violence on the other is required. It is violence that children should be protected from, not sexuality. When this distinction is not made, the in fact all-too-common connection between sexuality and violence is unable to be severed.
Rind et al. (1998)
The Rind et al. controversy was a unique historical debate in scientific literature, public media, and the US government, regarding a 1998 peer reviewed paper on child sexual abuse (CSA) that conducted a meta-analysis of several samples of college students.[1] The paper was written by researchers Bruce Rind, Philip Tromovitch and Robert Bauserman, following a related 1997 meta-analysis by Rind and Tromovitch in the Journal of Sex Research.[2] The debate resulted in the unprecedented condemnation of the paper by the United States House of Representatives and concern in the social science research community over the chilling effect the resolution may have on publication of controversial research results.

The 1905 Proceedings Against the Naturalist Theodor Beer
The case against the naturalist and physiologist Theodor Beer (1866-1919), traced historically by the author, constitutes a striking yet also representative example of the ruination of a scientific career by means of a campaign of character assassination. Beer had been charged, based on scant evidence, with sexually violating two boys.

A report on the contemporary modus operandi of the man/boy paedophile, how the paedophile becomes acquainted with the boy, and how daily contacts/interactions occur, stating that the framework, within which the paedophile relationship evolves, is often determined by the boy. The report explains that the paedophile relationship does not necessarily end from one day to the next when the boy becomes older, but that the separation can also evolve slowly over a longer period of time.

The Social, Political, and Legal Construction of the Concept of Child Pornography
This article examines the construction of the concept of child pornography, developed in several Supreme Court decisions. New York v. Ferber (1982) separated child pornography from adult obscenity, and soon thereafter almost all pictures of nude children became illegal. These images had been common in art and usually signified innocence, although they often had an erotic component. The assumption that images of nude youths can only be viewed erotically is a significant change. The justification-that children were hurt in producing child pornography, and that distribution (even no-cost distribution) and private possession contributed to that harm-does not hold up under analysis.
