Hello again
I am Dr. Seikhoo and I interacted with you one day back.
I want to reassure that there is certainly no risk of pedophillic intentions in you. Pedophillic persons never seek treatment, they never regret their perversion. In most cases guilt is also not there.
You have fear that if you would become pedophile you will loose social status. You have fear of this illness and this is certainly not the pedophillic orientation. There is very thin line between obsessive fear and hypochondriac ideas. Please be assured you are absolutely normal.
Watching porn with elderly lady and young adult male or opposite is not a disease. A lot of individuals have different type of sexual fantasies and you have mentioned also you never liked or even thought about child porn, so how can you become pedophillic. Don't think about this thing again and again. Everything is absolutely normal.
As dose has been increased so it will take a week or two to show improvement. Consult with your psychiatrist for other drugs like I have mentioned yesterday especially about fluoxetine.
I would like to know few things-
- How much time a week you give in watching porn movies?
- If you have any history of abuse in childhood or any trauma in childhood?
Thanks hope this helps you.
You can ask again in follow up


No need to fear
Detailed Answer:
Hello again
There is no abuse history this is also a good thing. Abuse during childhood increases the risk of future perversions.
This is a normal sexual fantasy there should be no doubt regarding that. You want to imagine elderly females in sexual activity and this is certainly not a pedophillic intention. Watching 2-3 times a month is not a high frequency. Overall you are free from any perversion
From last one day I have not found any single point that can be included in risk of pedophilia.
Thanks, still have more doubts you can ask again.


Avoid clonazepam
Detailed Answer:
Hello again
Pedophillic person treat prepubertal kids as their sexual partner. They don't treat them as children. They consider them a mode of gratification. You have not shown any such symptoms. So you are absolutely normal.
As per my opinion avoid clonazepam completely as the drug have abuse potential. In case of severe anxiety it can be used in low doses for relief like in 0.25 mg dose. Consult a Psychiatrist before taking the medicines.
Thanks, wish you a great health.


There is no risk
Detailed Answer:
Hello again... this is my duty to answer your questions so you can disturb me at any time
I have already mentioned that ignore any thing related to pedophilia. Don't think about this again and again. Don't indulge in as-if phenomenon like if this will happen if I will get disease. These are useless thoughts and should be suppressed.
I have already mentioned that you have crossed the age of development of perversions so there is no risk at all.
Continue to take proper doses as prescribed and you will see improvement.
Thanks, hope this helps you.
Take care.
