    I think they try to compare it to OCD? There are intrusive thoughts that can involve disgusting sexual behaviors. But that’s not “sexual attraction” and I haven’t met an OCD person who would describe them as such. This guy is a pedophile.

      Yeah I’ve definitely never heard people describe their intrusive thoughts in this way. I’ve heard: “oh my god I keep thinking this really gross thing, is there something wrong with me??”

      I have not heard: “I keep thinking about sleeping with teenage girls because I’m attracted to teenage girls, I better go and tweet about breeding teenage girls”

        It’s bizarre the lengths predators go to justify their own immorality. He’s only defensive for getting called out for it, he probably doesn’t even find the concept distressing.

        I’m sorry for OCD people getting trampled by this, I see it happen often.
