Book Presentation:
Max Weber
Für ein Kinderlachen
From 2013 to 2015, I wrote a book about living with my pedophilic preference. And about pedophilia itself. The title means “For a Child's Smile” in German and in this book I have summarized my journey, from the time before I myself knew about my sexual orientation right up to the time of publication. In addition to my story, it also provides more general background information about the sexual preference and the stigmatization of people with a pedophilia.
In December 2018, I published a slightly revised second edition. In addition to minor error corrections, it also contains around two dozen smaller and perhaps a handful of larger additions and updates.
A new revision is in the works.

If possible, please buy directly from Lulu.com. On third-party platforms you basically only pay the industry and only a small percentage goes to the author. Collective orders of 5 or more copies can be processed directly through me on request and sometimes with a discount. Please ask by e-mail!
WATCH OUT FOR THE PRICING: It has been brought to my attention that some sellers have been offering my book at significantly inflated prices. The printed edition should never cost more than approximately 11-14€ plus shipping. At Thalia, for example, it was once shown to me for around €24! That's not okay! Please don't let yourselves be ripped off.
The book’s blurb:
Pedophilia. A buzzword that triggers strong emotions in many people. How do you feel as you read this?
Nothing is more stigmatized in our society than this sexual orientation. Most of the media preach contempt and that pedophilia equals child abuse. I am a pedophile, but not an abuser. How can that be?
This book describes my life with this attraction and the goal of never harming a child. In addition to personal texts, it also offers a lot of factual information on the subject. It presents the therapy I underwent at “Kein Täter werden” [Don’t Offend] and describes how I have been committed to helping other non-offending pedophiles ever since.
We humans have little control over our feelings, but we are responsible for our actions at all times.
