Participants are needed for a new research project being conducted by researchers at the University of Kent in the United Kingdom. The study aims to better understand the relationship between sexual attraction to children and fulfillment/satisfaction with life, in order to promote effective treatments and subsequent well-being for MAPs.

People who are 18 or older and identify as having an attraction to minors may be eligible to participate. Participation involves completing an approximately 10-minute survey. Interested potential participants may click the following link to participate or learn more:

The researchers have also provided the following message with additional information about the study:


We are researching how minor-attraction relates to life satisfaction, and would be grateful if you could take the time to complete our ~10-minute survey. It is completely anonymous, as IP address tracking has been disabled for the survey, and it should be accessible even when using a VPN. If you are interested, please click the link below to access the survey – the first page will give you all the information about our study and you can then choose whether you want to participate.

B4U-ACT is pleased to announce our 2026 conference, Toward a Shared Goal: Uniting Researchers, Providers, and Community to Promote a Better Understanding of MAPs. This year’s event will bring together researchers, mental health professionals, and community members who are committed to advancing ethical, research-informed approaches to supporting minor-attracted people (MAPs).

The conference will take place June 12–14, 2026, in the American Southwest. We invite you to join us for three days of connection, collaboration, and forward-thinking discussion.

Our keynote speakers will be Ian McPhail, PhD, CPsych (Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University) and David Ortmann, MSW, LCSW (author of Sexual Outsiders). Sessions will include presentations, panels, roundtables, and interactive workshops that highlight new insights, emerging research, and shared goals for progress.
