    Just seen an interesting article about brain abnormalities in Paedophiles.

    A Yale University team found activity in parts of paedophiles’ brains were lower than in other volunteers when shown adult, erotic material.

    A forensic psychologist from the UK said drug treatments for paedophilia might be possible.

    There is increasing evidence that problems in certain areas of the brain may contribute to feelings of sexual attraction towards children.

    In a few cases, patients with a brain tumour in a particular part of the brain have developed such feelings, only for them to go away when the tumour was removed.

    The Yale study used functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), a technique which allows the activity within the brain to be recorded as the patient is thinking.

    They found that when known patients with paedophilic feelings were asked to look at adult por nography, a part of the brain called the hypothalamus, which is known to be involved in arousal and hormone release, was less active than in other volunteers.

    More generally, the more extreme the paedophilic behaviour was rated, the lower the activation in a part of the brain called the “frontal cortex”

    It is said that it may be possible for the use of anti-schizophrenia drugs to be used in cases of paedophilia, as these act on a similar part of the brain.

    What do you think?

    There already is medication for them.

    It’s called cyanide.

    Pebbles i once had the luck of working with John Yule.My job then was an actress,and he had me and another actress set up typical “interview” scenarios, for such cases.! we had been forearmed with the news that THIS was a top Professor of Forensic Science.
    we worked with REAL paedos but we were NEVER told who was the actor and who was the paedo.
    on the panel was Detective Constables,psychologists.and other cognitive skilled therapists,My friend and i KNEW.without them telling us and somehow “ruining” it who was WHO..they would seat us in particular places.in and L shape..the victim facing the assaulter et al..and other such positions.but what stands out in a world of actors WAS the fact we got EVERYONE of them right.

    no tatooes saying “paedo” .no warnings that they were worse than we imagined. im talking “BEASTS ” yet in the interval of proceedings we would chat happily and have outrageous laughs with said ” beasts”we were NOT allowed to leave Dundee University,,but they gave us free food and a BAR !!

    I read Professor Yules Report

    and it basically said what I said in my wee Dundee accent :)

    the bogeyman does not always stand proud :)

    and while i agree it MAY arise from the hypothalamus,i HAVE to recoil as so do Many illnesses..a good enough theory but needing looked at before we accuse innocents. Time WILL tell on these scanning theories.I just doubt modern Science is adept enough JUST YET !

    Sounds like typical left wing psuedo hippie bull shyte really

    The amount of exceptions and incongruent readings would be endless

    The same types of scans have been done on people claiming to be in the wrong sex body for their mind, and even when their brain patterns were found to match the biological body they were in, which should then have disproven their claims the evidence was dismissed as unreliable

    So what makes this any more reliable?

    And are they going to make people actually watch child porn? Because a lack of activity could happen for loads of reasons including just not liking porn at all, not liking that ACTUAL porn or having a near on dead sex drive to name a few likely problems

    Then what if a paedo looks at the adult porn and the person in it either reminds them of the mother of a child they have messed with, which in turn reminds them if the child? THat would look like the porn HAD turned them on

    Also, its a bit of an innacurate fallacy that all paedos ONLY get urges for children

    Thats like saying someone who likes doing it doggy style ONLY likes doing it doggy style, shock, gasp horror!!!!!! People are quite capable (thank god) of have many things that turn them on and many paedos have been known to also have extremely active sex lives with adults too

    So personally for thos and many other quite obvious and predictable flaws in this precept I think its, as stated thus far nonsensical nonscience, or should that be noncescience?

    i think to think medication could cure *cough pedophiles is very worrying i dont think they can be changed just look at past history of pedophiles they re offend constantly

    #288645

    and how do we know they will take it?

    Thats a fairer point than many would want to acknowledge, and is a more sensible one than the grunt brained majority with their media trained braincell will be able to comprehend lol

    If you strip out all the emotive illogical nonsense paedophillia is no more or less than homosexuality, sheep shagging, sado masochism, fancying older people/fat people, tall people or people of one specific hair colour only , a liking for bondage or any other variant from “normal” sexual apetites

    At a core instinctual level the instinctual desire to have sex is intact, but at a more cognitive level of their subconcious the wetware that decides what triggers their desire is “flawed”

    So unless people think you can create a drug to make people magically become straight, stop enjoying being spanked or cease to have any other sexual aspect of a their sexual being this concept of drugging a paedo to “cure” them is laughable

    Drugging them to totally decimate them, a chemical castration however is quite easily do-able and has been for decades

    However, the problem of female paedophiles still remains, but the existence of female paedos is a matter that both the media and society at large go out of their way to avoid the acknowledgement of as it contradicts the brainwashed stereotypes of what “women” are even tho they by no means rare

    And as far as I am aware there isnt a reliable chemical that totally decimates a womans sex drive and forcing them to get married to accomplish that is hardly practical lol :lol: :lol: :lol: :wink:

    If there were such a magical fairy tale drug then obviously it would be delivered by a medical practitioner at the direction of the court, bit of a no brainer that really

    But even that wouldnt remove the possibility that the practitioner wouldnt also be a paedo and would instead inject them with a placebo without a very stringent mass of measures to ensure that couldnt happen

    Gulp :shock:

    Thats a bit severe considering that pretty much everyone on the planet who isnt celebate and who doesnt lack any existence whatsoever of sexual thoughts whether male or female, WILL, to some prudish frigid bint be a “pervert”

    And even if you more acurately exchange the word “pervert” for the term child molester just what exactly would you be cutting off the millions of female paedophiles? lol :lol:
