Paedomisery is sexually unsympathetic or hostile thought or behaviour towards prepubescent or pubescent persons. Paedomisery is a psychological pattern that some paedophiles are afflicted with. This psychological pattern can lead to delusions and psychological disturbances. This psychological pattern began to spread worldwide after the growing popularity of the Internet in the 80s. The ability to exchange digital data to others from across the world in complete anonymity offered an effective channel for the demand of Child Sexual Exploitation Material (CSEM.) With the rapid rise of the Internet and other technologies, this naturally rewired the human brain. This rewiring of the brain lead to many psychological patterns that were rare or non-existent in the 70s — paedomisery being one of them.

The data is still inconclusive as to how many paedophiles there are globally, though it is estimated that there are roughly 180-million male paedophiles and 30-million female paedophiles, or 2.5% of the global population. Paedomisery affects a subset of paedophiles, estimated to be around 30-million. Because of hysteria and confusion related to the contemporary view of paedophilia, it is this subset of paedophiles that paedophilia has become known for. This popular outlook on paedophilia has made it challenging for legislation to be passed that would help offer publicly accessible resources to people afflicted with such disorders without the threat of persecution or being put on a watchlist. This societal attitude only exacerbates the problem as the afflicted often choose to seek isolation instead of support or treatment. Because of the lack of publicly accessible resources, the increased risk to public safety becomes a concern.
