m not sure about u american folk but Canada has family bathrooms in most of our Walmarts…

I know the walmarts here have them they are located in the back where Lay-Away used to be. (Now called Site-2-Store) Just be sure to knock before entering I have had a customer or two complain about coital couples being in there with the door unlocked.

Did you know that most men who molest little boys identify themselves as straight? Yep. In fact, a significant percentage are married or have otherwise heterosexual relationships. Sexual orientation (gay, straight or bi) has little to do with pedophilia. Pedos are a whole other ballgame.

You know what.. not to blow smoke up your ass but thats a really good point… I knew that and instead reverted to talking out of my ass!! hahaha thanks…for the correction Imp!!

I’d say when he begins to insist on using the ladies’ room and dates a lot of women he meets in it! (Sorry, couldn’t resist.) Realistically, I guess when he can fight off an attacker — when is that? Or maybe when he’s old enough that his presence in a ladies room will alarm the ladies?

Yeah, I guess at some point the ladies wouldn’t like it – worrying about their own safety…
Isn’t it sad that the innocence of childhood has to be compromised by scaring a child with the awful truth that they could be molested. I’m so careful with what I say to my kids – I want them to be aware but not afraid of the world. I considered one of those “stranger danger” videos but decided that (statistically) there really is more danger from people they know.

As for the gay vs. pedophile portion of this thread (which I admit I only scanned), my opinion is that a sexual attraction to children is the pedophile’s “natural” inclination – only problem is, it’s not natural. Or legal. Or socially acceptable. Or fair to the little person who has no say.

I am curious to know more about pedophiles and how they operate; this activity is a perversion — which I agree wholeheartedly with you that homosexuality and heterosexuality are NOT.

Me too, I don’t understand how someone can find a child attractive in THAT way…..

What do you think, at what age is a little boy too old to go into the Ladies’ room?

OMALLEY-This is actually one of my big fears! My son is only 4 so he still uses the restroom with me when we are in public places. I fear the day when he is too big, yet not big enough to defend himself. It’s so sick that we have to be afraid to let our kids pee by themselves! I talked to my husband about this very subject tonight and asked him the exact same question. He said when Duncan is insistant on going by himself and then we’d teach him to scream bloody murder if someone came near him.

I swear, shit like this makes me not want to leave the house!

Wry, I like your posts and agree with the majority of them, Buuut, homosexuality should not have even been entered into this conversation. PERIOD. This was child abuse and being gay doesn’t necessitate molesting children. Too many people relate homosexuality to pedophilia and it just ain’t so.

Oh, I don’t have any homophobia and I didn’t bring the subject into this thread, but I think if we are discussing pedophiles and their sexuality there is no harm in my questions.

Because the man molested a boy, it follows many people will call him homosexual. And just because he calls himself heterosexual it doesn’t follow that he is.

And I have to agree with Athena that the fact that most pedophiles who molest boys describe themselves as straight only proves that that is how they describe themselves, it does not mean that they actually are heterosexual.

Do pedophiles tend to specialize in girls OR boys — or are they pretty much targeting any child?

But I think it really doesn’t matter in that the horror is that adults use children for sex, not that they use “gender appropriate” children for their self-designated hetero or homo sexuality.
