Perhaps the most controversial of all!
I like to think I can go into most subjects with an open mind, but here’s one that the majority of us find a little too disturbing.It is thought provoking in terms of is this a condition, a sexual preference, is there any such thing as rehabilitation?
It certainly has many cringeworthy moments, along with shouting at the tv moments!
Quite good, but a lot of further questions
I generally really like Louis Theroux’s documentaries and am very glad that he gives time to the subjects that he does.I’ve given this a seven as it’s obviously an extremely contentious topic that is very unlikely to be explored in a proper manner or at all if it wasn’t for Louis.
I think any psychological issue such as this needs to be fully understood to be able to start dealing with the problem and making progress- firstly for the victims of child molesters, then for the person affected with these desires. That said, “A Place For Paedophiles” did leave me with a lot of unanswered questions.
As far as I know, the origin/cause of paedophilia is unknown. This is obviously a massive obstacle in dealing with this issue- we have no idea if it’s a sexual orientation, if it’s a desire solely caused by abuse or some sort of physical/mental trauma, etc.
The title itself didn’t seem very clear. A paedophile basically describes someone with a sexual attraction to children (but not necessarily someone who has acted on these desires, i.e a child molester). The fact that this distinction hasn’t been made seems unhelpful.
I think the distinction should be made because if a person has had these desires for most of their life, they could possibly be categorised as a sexual orientation, which would mean the person has thoughts and desires that are just part of their make up.
So even if the paedophile recognises the irreparable damage he/she would inflict on a child by acting on these inbuilt desires and makes sure that he/she never ever does, they are still dammed for having the thoughts and viewed as sex offenders regardless.
So all these supposed treatments and strange processes, (such as the PPG to measure sexual arousal from different sources) seemed very dubious. I wish Louis had asked for more information on why this polygraph test is relevant, how the patients’ treatment is supposed to stop people’s natural bodily reaction to arousal (though SSRI’s might do the trick(!) ).
I’ve probably missed out a lot of things I wanted to express here, but oh well. Worth watching, but I think it could have been explored much more fully.
