Dear vincent:

You are welcome. You asked me if I “could tell what makes me different from any sexual predator or a pedophile”-

Regarding the question of whether you are a pedophile-

According to Wikipedia/ Pedophilia, webmd. com/ mental health.. explaining pedophilia, and the ravive, com/.. pedophilic disorder dsm-5, simplified:

Pedophilia (“pedophilic disorder” in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder, DMS-5) is a mental disorder in which an adult (age 16 and older) feels sexual desire for prepubescent children (children who did not yet develop secondary sex characteristics: pubic hair, underarm hair, breasts in girls).

According to what you shared, you felt sexual attraction to a prepubescent girl when you were 12 or 13, or 14, and not when you were older than this age. According to what you shared then, you are not a pedophile.

Regarding the question of whether you are a sexual predator-

According to merriam webster. com, a sexual predator is defined as “a person who has committed a sexually violent offense”- according to what you shared, there was no violence, therefore- you are not a sexual predator.

Your behavior at the time was wrong, and I am glad that you did not repeat it. I highly recommend to continue to not watch pornography of any kind.

Is my post satisfactory to you?
