I work as a security analyst. I'm from Australia, although I've recently immigrated to the US and hope to start a small business offering security services.
I have a strong interest and knowledge in different access control models, reading about new exploits and vulnerabilities and digital forensics.

Is pedophilia a sexual orientation or a mental disorder? Pedophilia should never be considered a criminal offense and is only considered so now by laymen. A pedophile is not synonymous with a child molester. Indeed I recall studies showing for a given sample most child molesters were not pedophiles. If pedophilia is a sexual attraction in the same way homo/heterosexuality is then why should a pedophile who fights against their attraction be a criminal? |

Why is a lack of response to punishment in adults considered significant in diagnoses? @ArtemKaznatcheev How is it not? How is abnormal psychology relevant? I am asking why a lack of response to punishment is considered significant. It seems to be the norm/baseline that people will respond to punishment, so abnormal psychology doesn't make sense to me. Going by the tag description for cognitive psychology, it seems fitting. Why do you disagree? |

Is pedophilia a sexual orientation or a mental disorder? On The APA site regarding homosexuality it states The experts found that homosexuality does not meet the criteria to be considered a mental illness. which implies to me that there must be more to a paraphilia than just attraction. The wiki page on paraphilia seems to support that this is the view held at the moment, with there being different causes and symptoms. What I want to know is if there is any support that pedophilia is any different from homo/heterosexuality or if it is "more" than an orientation. I hope that makes sense |

Is pedophilia a sexual orientation or a mental disorder? Hi Catharsis, Thanks for your answer. Just a question here, but is paraphilia not somewhat distinct from a sexual orientation, in that there is a lot more associated with the term aside from just sexual attraction? It is my understanding that paraphilias are generally developed in early childhood and have more "symptoms". Is this correct? |

Why is a lack of response to punishment in adults considered significant in diagnoses? @ArtemKaznatcheev I am asking about punishment and the normal response, and why a deviation is considered significant. Why punishment is used at all for measuring or diagnosing. Asking why it is significant covers all of those question without being too general. I don't see something that applies to everybody being abnormal psychology. What I am asking certainly comes under psychology. I don't know how to make the question clearer and don't understand the downvote. |

Is pedophilia a sexual orientation or a mental disorder? @Artem I'm sorry, where on Quinsey's homepage is evidence that pedophilia is closer to a sexual orientation than a mental disorder? The Google search you link to also does not return relevant papers. If you think there is a paper that is relevant, please link it. I have done research and have not found much, hence the question. |
