Lecter commented on one of my posts about wanting a study about how MAPs feel and behave, and I found this.
It is a (20 year old now) research paper about how pedophiles/"child-lovers" view themselves.
Although it is limited to only gay Dutch pedophiles/"child-lovers", I think it's a great paper covering the issue.
I screenshotted numerous passages, highlighted specific parts and added my own short comments to some things.
