For further information or finding support here is a collection of links and literature on and by people with pedophilia.
Community/peer-support
German peer-support:
Other than US-american platforms, German forums and chats generally can provide access to people as young as 13 for support as well, due to how laws are set up over here. That is as long as there is no “explicit content” as in pornography, horror or violence which to my knowledge none of them have. Some have started providing an extra Englisch subsection to help teens from other countries.
Ressources in other languages:
- Association for Sexual Abuse Prevention (ASAP): a US-based organization that offers support on the topic of pedophilia in various ways. Including help in finding therapists, a hotline and regular workshops for professionals' further training
- ČEPEK: The Czech and Slovak Pedophile Community is an organization offering information on pedophilia, a forum and a chat for exchange and self-help (Czech + Slovak + English) and cooperates with Parafilik, an association of sex therapists
- MAP Support Chat: a peer-support chat created by VirPed users that can provide help to those under the age of 18
- Pedofilie.be
- Virtuous Pedophiles (VirPed): website + peer-support forum, founded in 2012 by Ethan Edwards and Nick Devin
Therapy and Science
Literature & Blogs
Resources that sadly no longer are available:
Unfortunately, I have had to remove some links to good platforms because they have disappeared over time. Some that I found very valuable and miss are kept here in a kind of “memorial list”:
- The Global Prevention Project: organization that promoted therapy and destigmatization. For years, they published the popular “Prevention Podcast”, the episodes of which are now being progressively added to The P-Word following the closure of their website.
- Not A Monster: blog by Todd Nickerson
- Pedophiles about Pedophilia: collaborative blog initialized by Ender Wiggin and friends (initially at medium.com). After multiple deletions of their content it is now partially integrated into The P-Word. This has originally been the model for
Kinder im Herzen
