| 0:00.0 | Hey, Desirving listeners, I thought I would answer some of your emails. |
| 0:03.9 | This email comes from listener Ryan. |
| 0:07.6 | He writes, and by the way, trigger warning, this has to do with pedophilia. |
| 0:11.1 | He doesn't get into the graphic details, but it talks about pedophilia. |
| 0:16.6 | So be warned on that. |
| 0:18.2 | He says, a quick disclaimer, I have never and will never harm or abuse a child. |
| 0:25.6 | I was sexually abused as a child, and I am still coming to terms with how that has affected me, |
| 0:33.0 | and if legal recourse is an option for me. Despite being a pedophile myself now, I could never bring myself to allow the years of physical and mental harm to come to society's most vulnerable at my hands. |
| 0:46.4 | I know you are not here for advice or clinical support, but I have an interesting and I believe critical question at the end. |
| 0:53.9 | And I also have some notes. |

| 1:21.6 | taboo and controversial topics. But the truth we both know is pedophiles are more dangerous without outlets, and the |
| 1:29.5 | problem is only going to get worse, the more we are shunned. Just chiming in here. Yeah, thanks, |
| 1:36.0 | Ryan, that's nice. And yeah, I can accept that compliment. On the other hand, in my world, |
| 1:43.6 | as a clinician, we don't have taboo topics. |
| 1:48.1 | Yeah, the internet or the world or I don't know, YouTube or Twitter or it's a complete different world than my world. |
| 1:56.3 | They're increasingly becoming the same, which is not great. But at least for the most part, and particularly |
| 2:03.8 | in the past, in my world among clinicians, we talk about everything and there is no worry about |
| 2:12.6 | talking about reality, whether it's pedophilia or rape or sexual abuse or sex itself or whatever. |
