and kissing his belly in public. And at the same time running his hands up and down on the boy's waist area.

The way Putin did it raised some questions in my mind. He looked somewhat intense as he did it.

(I am a retired mental health professional, so I don't make judgements without evidence, but this did raise questions.)

to do some research.

I won't say what I'd like to say to someone who claims to be a "mental health professional", but thinks pedophilia is linked in any way with being gay.

This may be the first time in my almost 20 years on this board that I might avail myself of the ignore function. Ugh.

Preference appears to be pre-pubescent boys.

This would be consistent with Putin being an obvious sociopath and narcissist. And Putin's hyper masculinity and homophobia.

Many pedofiles have wives and girlfriends.

Sun Mar 27, 2022, 07:20 AM

they divert reproductive energy to brain functions that are satisfied with more, bigger, faster, - to create greed, capitalism, ayn randianism... and with closure, finality - certainty and that make natural uncertainty the enemy, to be avoided - the defining characteristic of authoritarianism.

putin's been using 'sexual energy', and it may be a heritable characteristic, to create and rationalize irrational non-existent certainty. he's making certainty in ukraine with death, destruction, simplification, absolutism, while creating the chaos and uncertainty that makes his royal certitude more appealing to his authoritarian worshipers.

to shock that wiring that diverts his sex energy to the pleasure centers where it was supposed to go in the first place he has to do something 'abnormal' - violence, taboo, perverse, etc

putin, like tfg and hitler etc, are leaders of an ancient sex on the wrong brain wrong-handed masturbation cult

Both Putin and Trump are sexually aroused by their sadism and cruelty. And their power over others is a turn on too.

There is no evidence whatsoever that Putin is gay, but I guess 'gay" is such a bad thing to some that it's even worse than his being a war criminal.

That's called pedophilia, and it has nothing to do with being gay.

Putin is not gay, and neither is tfg. So weird that some here think that is just the BEST insult. Nah, sorry. War criminal not good enough for ya?

That's why I said I didn't think it was about homophobia. It has little to do with being gay.

And how do you know TFG isn't a pedophile? He certainly likes little girls and said he and his daughter have sex in common.
