First, I’m aware I put this thread in the CSA prevention, but that’s intentional, because I’m talking here about CSA prevention, just read and you’ll understand my point.
So… I just thought about something here, that, at least I never hear anyone commenting about. But its 100% relevant for children protection and pedophiles.
So anyway, try to follow my logic here, let’s talk first about something people kind unconsciously agree with, and we, that are more involved with it, not only agree but also know is true (because it happened with a lot of us). So, here we go. Read those next phrases, and see if you agree with them, by using your “common sense”, your “life experience” or whatever… Just see if you think is true or not:
First case
Men who consumes a lot of porn will eventually stop looking for real women, and may even lose the ability to have an erection in a real situation with them
Well, I believe that many researchers will totally agree with that, right? I in fact read about it in lots of different studies. Also, people who experience much porn also will agree with it. That, in fact happened to me in the past. But let’s continue:
Second case
People who consume a lot of hentai, will eventually stop looking for real people, and may even lose the ability to have an erection in a real situation with them
So, what you say? Does that make sense to you? Well, makes a lot to me, again, that’s something that I observe happening to other people. Maybe some researchers won’t necessarily agree, probably because there isn’t too much studies about this particular scenario. But again, that’s also something that happened to me.
Now :3
Third case
Pedophiles who consume a lot of lolicon, will eventually stop looking for real children, and may even lose the ability to have an erection in a real situation with them
Well, I guess I made my point very clear by now. Again, that’s kinda what happened to me too, I mean not sure if I can consider that I was a real pedophile in the past… Is kinda complicated. But anyway… I really find curious the fact that people understand that logic, as they agree with the first scenario, but when it comes to lolicon, they for… some reason… think that the OPPOSITE will happen :/… Like, does that make sense for any of you? So, yes, I’m saying here that I think consuming lolicon have a huge potential to make pedophiles stop going after real children and so, be a good tool to help with CSA prevention. Ok, I know this don’t prove anything, that’s not even my point in fact, my point is more in the incoherence about the way people seem to unconscious differentiate those things. And maybe if more people realise this, we may advance in this field of children protection for a change. I just notice too, that the same logic can apply to real CP, and I’m aware that I first though about lolicon, because I’m “biased” on it. But even IF I am, I really don’t think that a person biased on something will necessary be wrong about it. But anyway… I think that’s something that is worth thinking about, and of course, feel free to disagree and tell me your arguments for it.
