nonviolant child porn charge. noone was actually touched or raped or anything.
first and only offence ever.
did time, got schooling, trying to make better life.
I worry I am completely f**ked though. as far as value goes I am below 0.
should i give up on ever trying to meet women and become a monk or something?
i feel hopeless.

You should explain the type of pornography it was. And yes most women would stay away.

man! I just have to say the US has crazy "child porn" laws!
They've been busting teenagers for snapchatting each other ffs!

I don't think the OP is talking about 2 underage people sending naked pictures to each other.

maybe, I was just trying to point out how touchy they are about what 'constitutes cp' there!

say nothing to anyone ... If you have passed that part of your life ,, just move on and if necessary move away to somewhere you aren't known and 'start again' ..... many people have and so can you
You sound like you've just got out not long ago ,, I know what it's like and it's not easy to get back into living outside again ... it's not easy and those who 'know' will sympathize with you .... I do ,, so just keeping your head above water IS a great start and something to be proud of for starters!
Then while getting comfortable back in society. ,, learn about RedPill thinking and improve yourself in as many ways as you can! The only 'failure is the failure to try mate!!
The guys who get the d are confident about themselves aka alphas
you need to improve yourself first to the point you're no longer doubting your own value of yourself
Once you sex a woman well ,, If you want you can tell her then ,, good sex changes the way a woman will think about you and your behavior in general ,, and if they want 'more great sex with you' you'd be surprised how easily they'll dismiss the 'bad' things you've done ... those hampsters usually don't mind a quick spin for good sex!

That is the kind of dark secret that should probably not be revealed till late into a relationship, and of course it's going to be very important to have actually changed and reformed.
Unless you're being screwed by sex offender laws such that this is public knowledge?
Right now though it sounds like the biggest issue is feeling intense shame and "below zero" . A relationship isn't going to help with that, it's going to scratch those issues up even more.
You're not doomed to be a monk, but it might be a good idea to focus on other things right now.
most importantly, try to do things that make you feel higher than a zero. Find a cause you care about and work for that cause for a while. More than towards anyone else, you need to prove to yourself that you're not a bad person. And the only way you can do that is by spending effort energy and time, every day, in being a good person.
You've been hit hard, you're closer to the bottom, but that means you can look around, find other people who are low, and help them.
You can leave this behind you and become an incredible human being. Just realize that no, it will never be the same as it could have been. There will be people who won't be able to look past it, not matter how much you change. Life sucks like that. but you can bear the scars and make it out alive and stronger.
--
You also need to make sure you have safeguards in place against repeating. I know you went through schooling but it might not be enough. And having an actively maintained prevention plan and a lot of self awareness is going to be the main weapon in your arsenal to convince someone you're still a safe bet and that you've really reformed.

What is a “child” in this case? After all, younger women who are below 18 are considered “children” by some puritans.
[deleted] 11y ago
Well, they are children. They may be almost adults but they're still kids. Women are still going to think that having a naked picture of a 16 year old is gross (I do) and honestly anyone that has to have a naked pic of a young girl instead of an adult women is low quality.

A person's 18th birthday isn't some magical date. It's one day out of the many thousands of days that it takes for a person to grow up. If having naked pics of a 16 y/o is "gross" then it's not that much less gross to have nudes of an 18 y/o
[deleted] 11y ago
I agree. Nobody wants to talk about what you just did. How is someone who is 17 years 364 days old a child, but 24 hours later is magically an mature adult person?
If we use nature as a form of measurement, adulthood (capable of bearing children) is around 13-14 years old.
Will a 14 year old be smart? No Will a 14 year old be experienced? Not likely Does it matter? Not really
If you pay attention, sex for 13-17 year olds amongst people their own age is encouraged by nearly every facet of society. The moment one person is over 18 everybody is screaming for torture/imprisonment.
I don't understand that concept.
At 18 did you somehow know more or were so mature compared to when you were 16? Most of us can with all our heart say NO. I didn't know what the fuck I was doing at 13, 16 & 18 all the same. I'm 24 now and still barely know what the fuck I'm doing.
I remember seeing a youtube video of a girl in her early twenties who was arguing to do away with age of consent laws or at least lower them. She said by age 14 her tits were fully grown and she knew what she was doing. I was like wow finally someone gets it. Suffice to say she was ridiculed by feminists and white-knights.

Would you be willing to submit to a test to prove you are not attracted to women below 18? Sixteen is the legal age over here, and they’re still fucking before then.
If women below 18 are in fact children, then almost all heterosexual men are de facto paedophiles.
[deleted] 11y ago
I'll never be ashamed for admiring a youthful body Nature herself has programmed me to desire for purposes of healthy childbearing.
The entirety of Age of Consent laws were pushed by ultra-religious sects of American women. I've never heard any convincing arguments for it to be 18. The law is so blurry.
Example in Canada here some prostitutes hired a good lawyer together and took the issue of prostitution to the Supreme Court of Canada, and just like the US Supreme Court, the Supreme Court of Canada is tasked with evaluating acts and find them either constitutional or unconstitutional. The Supreme Court said prostitution being illegal infringes on peoples rights. The court gave Canada government 1 year to draft new legislation to correct this.
The government just recently announced its legislation after a year, and it makes the law even more blurry. Nothing has really changed. Pisses me the fuck off.

I can assure you, most men are, at least where the age is 18. They may outwardly deny this, but if we actually checked I’m sure I would be right.
[deleted] 11y ago
So? Just don't be in possession of child porn and don't act on your feelings if they're not at the AoC in your area. It's not hard.
joe_bruised_ego 11y ago
So you’re saying all men are pretty much paedophiles.
[deleted] 11y ago
If the kid looks younger than their age or has a child's body then yeah that's disgusting If a girl looks older then it makes sense that someone 18+ would find her attractive but I men legitimately looks older
joe_bruised_ego 11y ago
Men are not all paedophiles and a woman is not a child just because she is underage. This is exactly the kind of broken, anti-male thinking which leads to nude models with flat chests of any age being outlawed and actual paedophiles not seeking help because they are under the misapprehension that they are normal.

I'm pretty sure I had a few pictures of 14-16 year old female friends...when I was 15 myself...
I guess it depends...
Either way, a first date doesn't usually entail a criminal background check.

They could search his name and find his charge.

With women who want children or who have children, you should avoid. Having a child porn charge against you, regardless of the kind can result in the loss of the child or children...
It would be seen as a case of child neglect or worse in the eyes of the various groups.
