Porn addiction leading to hebephilia and pedophilia ?

Yes it's escalation
I am almost relieved I escalated to gay porn rather than that to be honest... but...
Having the courage to admit it is good - don't be ashamed of yourself - this is what porn does to your brain - shame keeps you in the shadows. You are a good person you pulled up into an effed up thing!

yeah the good news is that taking a real pornography break , reducing anxiety and reading quite literature and journaling can all help you recover

There is a direct link between your problem and pornography and you're not alone.

"“My earliest clients were child molesters. They tended to have been beaten, abused or have some sort of dysfunction. I’ve found in the last 10 years that increasingly people who view child sex abuse material don’t seem to have that history. They are mundane, ordinary people from all walks of life.”"

- get that - pornography screws up your brain as much as child abuse!

 

Over time you will go back to healthy attraction

 

Regarding so-called Hebephilia, I know it is a highly controversial topic, but, technically, they are sexually mature, so it's more of a cultural thing to classify it as normal or not normal.

The crucial point, in my understanding, is to what degree the attraction is exclusive or not. I mean, if once in a while you find yourself attracted to a 14-year-old, but is mostly attracted to 18 and older, that's normal. But if you are obsessed with teenager girls and not attracted to older women at all, then I would say you have a issue.

Of course, full blown pedophilia is a completely different story, since they are not sexually mature and therefore you have no biological reason to be attracted to them.

Stop watching porn and these desires should go away. But don't fret too much if you think a 14-year-old is kind of hot sometimes, otherwise you may end up with some sort of OCD.

Just my two cents. Take care.

 

very possible, I'd also say more common than you may think

 

The difference is that Endocrinological system is fucked up nowadays. Girls used to start puberty later then boys now it is the complete opposite due to environmental Estrogens and a physiologically Estrogenic body.

To discredit culture for the sake of sexual pleasure is degenerate, there is a reason for traditions boyo, especially ones that hold up for a long time and proliferate as much as Western Christians traditions, of course nowadays people abandon it.

A healthy male does not find 14 year olds attractive, despite seemingly mature bodies there are dead giveaways. Typically unhealthy males both mentally and physiologically have attractions on the more deviant side.

 

I see what you are trying to communicate but it doesn't seem accurate at all.

Marrying young women aged 12-16 has been a common practice around the world up until the Industrial Revolution. In fact, it was so prevalent as to be the norm; a tradition, if you will. And that was way before environmental estrogens became a problem.

 

Marrying between young couples sure, not reproducing. And tradition where? There were traditions to kill newborn infants so rain will be plentiful; cultures such as this simply died out.

 

Porn escalation can lead to silly and stupid tastes: For exampe: Attraction to gay porn or transgender is not the same thing when porn induced, as "true", homosexuality, since its not who you truly are.
Same thing with Hebephilia. Porn induced tastes will go away, if you dont feed them. It might take a couple of years.

Best thing you can do to get rid of shame and forgive yourself is to truy quit all porn.

 

Like a drug addict must increase the dose

 

I have been in the same situation. Feeling a deep shame about my sexuality, I thought of myself as a paedophile, as a monster that should kill himself. When I started porn I was interested in the vanilla themed kind of porn, but it did not last. In a period of substance abuse (amfetamines) and loss of my girlfriend, I got into teen porn and jail bait. I hated myself for it but I could not stay away from it. For a long time I have question my sexuality and was terrified to be a paedophile or hebephile. Now that I am practising nofap I feel this is a situation of escalation. Porn has been a way to deal with loneliness and to feel some kind of intimacy, and I escalated to jail bait because I like cute girls that are not so intimidating to me. This preference is something I can see in perspective now, it is not my orientation, it has been a exaggerated characteristic I like in girls my own age.
Probably your situation is one of escalation, so try to stop watch porn and ask yourself what you really need.
good luck!
