What are signs of a pedophile?

Answer 1

This all depends on what you think is perverted. to some having sex without the intention of having a child as a result is perversion. People get up to some pretty weird and wacky behavior in getting their sexual kicks and if it is between consenting sane persons it would be impossible to know.

Sometimes this is hard to figure out. Some of these people will wait for a long time before they make a move, but they will try things first to see if the prey they are after is weak or open to suggestion. I saw an Oprah show with interviews of some men who had been arrested for this and they admitted that they would start out with small things like rubbing the shoulder, Wrestling, play fighting, always there to "listen". Remember this is more about a predator getting his prey than anything else. If you get a funny feeling around someone listen to your inner voice.

Answer 2

DSM-IV and DSM-IV-TR define pedophilia as "recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving activity with a prepubescent child or children (generally 13 years or younger)." These feelings, urges, or behaviors must persist for at least 6 months. The DSM-IV criterion that such urges must cause clinically significant distress or functional impairment was amended in DSM-IV-TR, such that recurrent pedophilic fantasies or arousal need not be experienced as distressing. This correction reflects the ego-syntonic nature of many pedophiles' sexual desires and/or behavior.

Answer 3

That is really a matter of opinion. I would thing it perverted to send nude picks or if he has made move on any of your friends. If you are worried about it it seems there are trust issues and you should leave him.
