Should artificial child pornography be legalized?

Scroll to see replies

No.

These people need to know that their feelings towards children are not ok. Giving them porn in my opinion just seems to encourage it. 'Here's something to watch but you can't do it' is just going to make them want to do it more. I don't know how to solve the problem of paedophilia, I'm not a psychiatrist or whatever, but this is not the answer.

Can you link to the studies? The information you give alone doesn't tell you anything, because it doesn't differentiate between people who committed sexual assault against minors because they viewed child porn and those who did both as a result of a pre-existing desire to commit sexual acts with children.

I think I worded it wrong earlier, the Butner study is the same study as the first one I think? My bad haha

Yes. If studies suggest it reduces abuse then it is a definite yes from me. Taking the stance that we should always be out to oppose anything a paedophile might want is ridiculous as you are making the priority something other than stopping abuse.

People are more concerned with making sure that everyone knows they're not a paedophile by showing how dead against it they are, than they are concerned about whether it might stop children getting abused.

That doesn't even work with a critical thinker, it's clear that a real paedophile or even actual child molester (who hasn't been caught) could spout the same party line in order to cover their backs from suspicion.

And the funny thing is that people in general would buy it.
If you want an evidence led government (which you should) then there is only one correct answer. Do more studies.

If you can prove that providing porn to paedophiles increases child safety and doesn't cause other issues which may cause more trouble then why wouldn't you do it?

Tbh, whenever someone asserts how strongly they hate pedophiles and how disgusted by them they are, I usually assume they are trying to cover something up :P

Well, actually studies do mean something, or they wouldn't be conducted. And this is a huge study, so I think it means a lot. I do think more research needs to conducted on the matter, but I've already said that.

I've seen you on TSR a fair bit and your comments are usually very poor and your arguments usually lack any kind of cogency. Please stay off my threads in future.


Studies are often conducted for the sake of it to make money. You're a troll, so the last part of your post is funny.

Most of your threads seem to be a bit silly and/or provocative. I just assented you were a troll.

Sorry I just thought your idea that a study on child pornography was done for money must have been a joke. If a study is done for money then its being funded by a corporation.

I mean surely you're not making the ludicrous claim that a company would fund research on child pornography. Who would do that? Kiddie Porn Inc?

You're trolling, right?

Even if they haven't acted upon their desires?

That's not a very peaceful perspective on the matter.
Its interesting the amount of people on this thread who just disregard the study linked in the OP. Many have said "it would likely lead to higher rates of sexual abuse" or "what if" but the study in the OP says that the opposite is true. So you really can't be saying those without backing it up with some counter studies.

Note this isn't everyone but it is definitely the majority. And its rather sad how completely illogical people get when this topic is brought up.

Its obvious that they are in need of serious help if they have such desires in the first place. If they acknowledge and recognise that theyre thoughts are wrong and therefore dont act on it, this would show that they have some good in them. So no they dont deserve to.be hanged. They would just need to seek phycological help and sort themselves and their issues out

Ok having googled it, either;

1. Computer generated realistic child porn
2. Superimposing a penis into a picture of a child posing provocatively

I'm not pedo but even regular porn, I would want to see an actual girl not CGI

As for your own definition (you in the bath)

That's not actually illegal , same as with nudist photos , google image

1. "Nudist photos"
2. "Child porn"

One has pictures , other links you to a helpline

Completely agree.

According to this study, legalizing child pornography actually causes sexual abuse cases to drop. I think there needs to be more studies conducted about this, but I definitely think we should consider making artificial child porn for paedophiles. I'd also happily donate old pictures of me as a toddler naked in the bath to pederasts if it spares some poor child from being sexually abused.


NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So you don't think its a good idea researching something that could possibly stop some kids from being sexually molested?
