“Virtuous Pedophiles” sounds like a contradiction in terms – but it is the title of a website. This website does not attempt to justify or excuse child molestation. The men who founded it, both of whom use pseudonyms for obvious reasons, are sexually attracted to children. Yet both assert that they have never sexually touched a child. They recognize that acting on their attraction would inevitably cause harm. Their website is dedicated to informing both the public at large and other people who are attracted to children that it is possible to have this attraction yet refrain from actually abusing children.
