A short Twitter thread on how sex education could be in the future

Imagine this:

At the end of a Sex Ed class for 14 year olds, the teacher, having dealt with consent and having allowed for the possibility that not everyone in the room is straight, adds,

"Now, there are other kinds of sexual thoughts too that people can have. Some of them >

> can seem pretty shocking or feel uncomfortable but there is help for those people that experience them.

"If you find that you have sexual thoughts about children or animals or other situations that really can't be acted out in real life, don't panic and don't blame yourself. >

> "In the pack you take home today there is a number you can call and a site you can visit to chat to someone confidentially if you're worried. And that person will help you.

"And you can come and see me any time in my office if you have a question you need to ask about." >

> Of course, for this to be possible there would need to be such a phone line, such a chat service and there would need to be somewhere for the sex educator to refer a child that approached them about troubling sexual thoughts.

Less than a decade ago, there was almost >

I hope that in another decade, young people will be able to connect to help of the kind now offered by @virpeds

About the author: I have been writing and talking about the experience of being a pedophile since 2017. Once on twitter until my account was banned in 2020, I co-led Virtuous Pedophiles from 2021 to 2025. I now continue to look for ways to improve the lives of pedophiles, but never at the expense of harming children. I have never viewed illegal material, and never sought or engaged in sexual activity with any child. The rest of my life is countryside walking, friends, Radio 3 and feeling doleful about ageing.

This content was removed from Twitter in 2020 because the author's account was suspended.
