Frequently asked questions

Can women also have problematic sexual interests?        

“Sexual interests and sexuality in general are not a matter of sex, gender, sexual orientation or age. Although the subject is still taboo in society and very little documented in research, women can also struggle with problematic sexual interests. If this is your case, know that there is help available and we can help you find it.”

Can I already have sexual interests in minors when I am still an adolescent?        

“Some research shows that sexual interests towards minors can develop in this period of life (Beier et al., 2005; Seto, 2012; Beier et al., 2016; Houtepen et al., 2016; Stolpmann et al., 2017). However, adolescence is a time of many questions related to sexuality. There are various reasons why these questions may arise. Ça suffit is here to listen and enlighten you without judgment.”

If I have deviant fantasies, does that mean I will necessarily act on them?        

“Having deviant sexual fantasies does not necessarily mean that you will act on them. Your fantasies are not criminal, but acting on them is. We are here to listen to you and help you not to act out your fantasies.”

Are you going to report me if I consume sexually exploitative images of minors on the Internet?        

“Ça suffit is also intended for people who consume images of sexual exploitation of minors on the Internet. We are here to help you while respecting the principle of confidentiality of professional secrecy in accordance with article 60.4 of the Professional Code and articles 39 and 39.1 of the Youth Protection Act (YPA).”

Will a man who was sexually abused as a child repeat these acts?        

“This question can be common among people who were sexually abused as children. It may reflect a fear of a possible act. However, it is important to know that most victims do not repeat these behaviours as adults (Whitaker et al. , 2008). If these questions are frequent and persistent, we are here to listen.”

What can I do if I have problematic sexual interests?        

“If your sexual interests are intrusive or you feel that they may be endangering you or others, we encourage you to seek help. Don’t be left alone with your suffering. We are aware that this is not an easy process and we are here to support you through it. You can use the services of Ça suffit or consult our Other Resources tab.”

Am I alone in experiencing this sexual problem?        

“When experiencing a problem, there can be a tendency to isolate yourself and believe that you are the only one experiencing this. In reality, other people may be experiencing the same thing as you (Seto, 2009). The Ça Suffit team is there to support you in your questioning by taking you into account, because each situation is unique.”

Inspired by the “Stop It Now!” helpline established in 2002 in the United Kingdom, Ça suffit is its Quebec adaptation. Stop It Now! UK was founded thanks to the Lucy Faithfull Foundation, a child pro tection charity dedicated to preventing child sexual abuse. The Ça suffit team worked with Stop It Now! UK to provide a French version of their content.
