The power to totally control and use another person without their consent.
 
Mainly a person who abuses you will have some level of control over you either because of their age, their physical build, a position in the family or society or merely just the control from a peer perspective.

That said, its in this place then that they will operate out of a sense of power over you. It may be making you feel bad about things or getting you to do things that you dont want to or just making it difficult if not impossible to stop whatever is happening from happening.

I guess it gets really confusing if its wrapped up in sex because we think thats what it was all about. It is to a large extent but the control and the power behind it is also a major factor.

Of course the perps probably deny this to themselves and others but they are already not the best examples of being human beings are they?
 
no there not :mad:

ok i get that
it sucks but i understand
thanks

Trev,

I guess a good way to illustrate this idea would be to point out that if a perp wants sex, abusing children isn't exactly the safest or easiest way to get it. There's something more that the perp wants - a LOT more.

Perps seem to want power, in the same way some people thrive on throwing money around, driving an expensive sports car, owning a gun that can waste a forest in one shot, etc. For the perp, the ultimate kick is forcing a child to give up the one thing he would least like to give - sex.

The compulsive aspect of the whole thing can be seen in the fact that perps abuse time after time. Some of them molest hundreds of boys over a lifetime. They return to abuse even after being jailed.

Yes, it's sick, but there's the nature of the beast.

Much love,
Larry
