79. I'm sure my view will anger just about everyone..
I feel sorry for them.

It is my considered opinion that none of us chooses what we find erotically stimulating. It's clear to me that those who are homosexual have no real choice in the matter, likewise those who are heterosexual.

To use the phrase another poster used above, I couldn't "pop a chubby" for pictures of naked men no matter how long I looked at them or how attractive they were, likewise pictures of naked children of either sex. I didn't choose to be this way and I honestly think that there are very few to no humans on the planet who deliberately choose what turns them on.

How horrible it must be to have a sexual appetite which you did not ask for and yet everyone finds you to be filth worthy of extermination for having.

Not to say that those sexually attracted to prepubescent children aren't dangerous to children, just that I can imagine how it would be to have such an urge and have no means of turning it off.

In my opinion a truly gentle and caring society would try to make some accommodation for those who have these urges and yet do not act on them. Allow them to tell a counselor or therapist of their desires and be treated in some manner.. Even if the treatment only consists of providing "child porn" drawn or digitally rendered by artists.

If you look at those societies in which porn is completely banned they are invariably horrific places to live, both for men and particularly for women. It is my personal opinion that porn acts as a sort of "safety valve" for many of our libidinous desires which we have no real way of completely stifling or satisfying.

Could the same be true of those sexually attracted to prepubescent children? I really have no clue but I think it would be worth looking into.
