Stumbled across a very interesting video today, and figured I ought to append it to this discussion and future reference:

[Inside The Life Of A ‘Virtuous’ Paedophile](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-Fx6P7d21o)

It’s a ten-minute documentary segment featuring a man who has the urges, but chooses not to act on them because he’s got a decent moral compass. He mentions his participation in a website of like-minded people who form a sort of support group.

If you’re a pedophile who’s trying to be a decent human being, or know someone who is, have them watch the video and/or Google “virtuous pedophile.”
