I think a lot of good could be done for people with POCD if experiencing minor attraction was not something to fear or be disgusted with oneself over. There would be no reason to scrutinize one's sexuality and have anxious death spirals over "What if I'm a pedophile and I don't know?" if being a pedophile or other form of MAP was not something viewed on a wider scale as inherently immoral, unethical, or otherwise disgusting.
When I was younger (in my mid-teens), my approach to my POCD after experiencing CSA and then subsequently interacting with the online MAP community out of curiosity was counteracting the thought with "So what if I am? Why is that a bad thing if I'm not hurting anyone?" and repeating that mantra ultimately helped (and, as it turns out, I am, and who cares?). In a vacuum, without MAPmisia and general paramisia tainting one's view of oneself, the anxiety about potentially secretly being minor-attracted simply would not exist.
Not sure if I'm onto anything with this, but it might help someone.
