My dads best friend for many years was gay and in serving time in jail now for child pornography. Its undoubtedly there are more pedophiles who are men or gay men vs woman or lesbians.
Pedophiles are just pedophiles, there is no "straight" vs "gay" pedophile. If you go for children, no matter their gender, race, ethnicity, relation,
you are a pedophile. And the term isn't limited, either - a pedophile can likewise be of any gender, sexuality, race, religion, whatever. Pedophilia is not a sexual orientation - it's a fetish, the same way being attracted to animals is a fetish. Just because a male prefers female animals does not make him a "straight zoophiliac."
It attracts the worst elements because it is a black market. That isn't an indication that pedophilia is an inherent evil. If your problem with the child porn industry is that children are kidnapped and forced into it would you support it if it was consensual and well-regulated? Or putting the issue of porn aside would you support a consensual and non-pornograpic relationship between an adult and a child?
I think
everyone's problem with children having sex is that most normal kids don't have sex, aren't the least bit interested in sex, and don't have any sexual desires. There is little reason for a child to sudden;y become interested in sex, especially before puberty. It's a simple matter of biology; even when it was the norm for 14-year-olds to marry, you didn't have 12-year-olds running around psyched to engage in sexual activity, because that's not how their bodies or brains work.
Why do kids have sex? Almost always because
they were coerced into it one way or another by someone who knows more than they do and is in some position of power over the child. Why? Because kids don't know what sex is, they cannot fully understand the complexities or implications of it, cannot make important decisions regarding sex, and thus
they cannot give consent. A child engaging in sexual activity is almost always a warning sign that something is horribly, horribly wrong, and that the child needs help.
This isn't up for debate - it's
biology that kids, especially kids who have yet to hit maturity, are not only unable to make decisions for themselves, but they don't even have a basic sex drive. If you wish to argue otherwise, we will need to see some hard evidence. The burden of proof is on you.
