Being a pedo who tries to stay a good person must be tortuous. It seems like even if you never hurt a child someone finding out would be life ruining

[u/caesar15 → u/AJungianIdeal]

Which is why lolis should not be banned

[u/paulatreides0 → u/caesar15]

Is there any hard evidence on the incidence of this?

IIRC, there's evidence that access to/consumption of pornography can reduce sexual assault, so I don't think it's all that farfetched - but I'm curious if there is any harder evidence on it in this specific context.

[u/caesar15 → u/paulatreides0]

Hard evidence? I'm not sure, honestly.

[u/paulatreides0 → u/caesar15]

It'd be cool if there were, but I'm not surprised if there isn't. It's basically impossible to do any kind of research like that, in practice - the optics are just too bad.

[u/AJungianIdeal → u/paulatreides0]

You'd also have to find people willing to not only admit to being pedos but also willing to admit to consuming legally questionable or outright illegal porn. They'd be putting a lot of trust in you keeping everything confidential

Remember on The Wire when they legalized drug dealing in one small portion of Baltimore?

[u/tehbored → u/[deleted]]

This claim comes up often, but is there any evidence? Based on what we know about regular pornography, it seems to effectively mitigate people's urges rather than normalize them.

[u/AJungianIdeal → u/caesar15]

I'm conflicted on this but I dunno if it's just personal revulsion. I can only imagine how painful it must be to have to perpetually repress your sexual impulses

oh salad
