  • I read one paper behind these claims, and it is interesting? Definitely a wild rabbit hole if you are so inclined. Some highlights:

    Paedophiles also have lower self-reported height than do hebephiles or teleiophiles (Cantor et al., 2007),

    The paper then asserts absolute height is a measure of health.

    The distinction they make is interesting. They discern between:

    — Right- handedness

    — left- handedness

    — mixed handedness

    and — ambigous handedness

    In summary, paedophiles demonstrated high rates of non-right-handedness, … whereas those who had a sexual preference for pubescent children evidenced increased ambiguous-handedness. Analysis of LQ scores indicative of ambiguous-handedness demonstrated that this was the correct classification as opposed to mixed-handedness.

    Results support a view of ambiguous-handedness as less pathological than previously hypothesized, …

    Rates of left-handedness in most neurologically typical populations are at or below about 11% (Perelle & Ehrman, 1994).

    teleiophiles [offenders targeting adults(17+ in this research] were not entirely typical. … with a rate of … 7.4% left-handedness.

    Paedophiles, however, demonstrated an accentuation of atypical lateral preference, with an elevated rate of … left-handedness (14.6%) …

    Seems like solid research, but some of the results and assertions are … well. Let me put it this way: I would like to see more research. It points to an interesting direction (criminal offenders beeing developmentally delayed), but I would like to know if a differently sourced population exhibits the same traits.




  • I would call that a collapse of communication, but I understand what you mean. I agree that stopping to work on oneself and/or disassociating from your partner in a relationship is a huge betrayal and all around shitty behavior. Thanks for clarifying. I’m totally with you on that.

    BTW I once woke someone up to their behavior during a screaming match where I shouted “Why are you like this, we a supposed to be on the same side! Both of us against the problem, not whatever you’re doing.” Well at least I think these were my words, there might have been a lot more swear words … But that was successful only one time, so …



  • So… more deceit? I’ve had uhmmm enough contact with all sexes in my time, and found “a relationship is a means to an end” type behavior in too many of my fellow humans. Also when they will not stop sliding into shittier and shittier behavior it usually means they were shitty from the start, but their mask is slipping.

    Still amazes me, the many, many people seeing felationships as purely transactional.

    Edit: lol, the typo stays.
