Recently I heard of a man seeking phychiatric help because he could not control his sexual attraction to children. Can you imagine the courage this took?
Repressing such desires, at any cost, to oneself does not help or encourage these people to take responsibility nor to seek help. I understand this is not what you meant, however, I wonder if change could be made if we fostered something different than hate and condemnation. It's a stretch, however, if someone told me they were harbouring such desires, I hope I could get by disgust and hate to find compassion to support them in seeking help.
