"Oh no! I think I'm into CGL!?"
Do you find yourself thinking any of the upcoming sentences? Do not worry! I'll help you! (You can find my sources on the "What is DDLG?" page.)
I think I am into CGL/DDLG kink. I am really scared of this, because people say it's equal to being a peđophiŁe.
Being into CGL/DDLG kink doesn't make you a peđophiŁe. Psychology says what attracts you about CGL/DDLG is thinking about yourself as a 'child' or rather yourself in a state of innocence and regression. The attraction is directed towards yourself, it is different than being a peđophiŁe. You are attracted to your own self and your Caregiver who is an adult.
What if I am the one attracted to the 'Little'(the adult who regresses in the CGL play)? Does that make me a peđophiŁe?
The answer is still no. Even if the innocence or the regression of the person attracts you, you are still attracted to an adult at the end of the day. A peđophiŁe wouldn't be interested in that.
I am still not sure about this. What if I am a peđophiŁe who is also attracted to adults?! I feel like a horrible person, and I don't want to be a monster. Should I think my life is over now???
Hey hold on for a moment! Let's talk about kinks and sexual feelings. Having a kink, by itself is not morally wrong. We can not chose or change what are our kinks or what excites us. We can however, chose and change what we do with said feelings. Even if you ended up finding out that you are, what you most fear, you are you can choose not to hurt children.
It's not very much known, but there are people like you who chose not to hurt others. I recommend you this site:
