This all started, essentially, back around 2005–2006 when I first joined the online pedophile community, and at the time, there really wasn’t a lot out there. Virped did not yet exist. There was one for girls, and there was one for boys, and they were predominantly pro-contact communities. Like I said, at the time, that was really all there was. So, I joined those, I was extremely depressed at the time, and I have to say, I was very close to suicide when I joined those communities. I was on there probably less than a year when I outed myself on those boards. Basically, my outing process has been a series of steps up from that since then.

I'm attracted to children but unwilling to act on it. Before judging me harshly, would you be willing to listen?
