Re: Prohibited images vs voyeurism

You may be right, but that seems like such a horrible, disgusting, morally bankrupt reason for life destroying sentences. But obviously, Fragment, those convicted aren't being punished for the prohibited images: they are being punished for being paedophiles. Why else would pseudo-images and AI-gene...

Re: Prohibited images vs voyeurism

What is the rational basis for such a gap? Even if we concede that a lot of child porn is exploitation the average sentence in the US of 8 years seems far in excess of sentences for "looking at naked children for sexual gratification" when it's not pixel based. If you creep around peeking...

Re: MAPs hurting MAPs (a thought bubble)

Contact skeptical MAPs should shift to language like “even actions done out of love can be harmful, so it’s better to be safe than sorry” instead of conceding that “offenders are monsters”.
 As a "contact skeptical MAP" I wholeheartedly agree. However, not all sexual encounters are motiva...

I think they're just responding perfectly reasonably to the crazy world that we Millennials and those before us have created for them.

Re: Is "grooming" a meaningful concept?

Even young children are interested in sex, even if it's just on the level of curiosity. In fact, they're fascinated by it. They may perceive arousal differently from those who have started puberty, but they don't exist in a state of sexless purity. That's a fact that's been recognised since Freud c...

Re: Is "grooming" a meaningful concept?

Even of the people who do this, I wonder how many deliberately do it and how many just don't realize what they're doing. Humans are much better at unintentionally harming others than intentionally doing so. Oh, fuck, yes! So much damage that is done through human interplay is unintentional. Few of ...

Re: Is "grooming" a meaningful concept?

I have yet to see an explanation of why grooming (when it doesn't involve deception or pressure) is actually wrong. The one that gets me (I hear it all the time) is that children become "inappropriately sexualized" by experiences. Even otherwise enlightened people fall in with this myth. ...

Re: Not sure what to write here

Firstly hi Hi back. Welcome. I'm looking at this from the perspective of a virtually exclusive boylover well into his 30s, but I remember having similar feelings of desperation in my late teens. All too clearly. I had a girlfriend in my mid-teens whom I loved very much. Just not sexually. I tried (...
