@Tfmonkey - If I may offer a small distinction for consideration: I understand CNY refers to anime lolis, right?
I've been around a doujin manga or two... and lolis are nothing like actual children - in demeanor and behavior that is. My point being: lolis ≠ children.
Lolis tend to be little sexpots and pinups, sprung forth from the imagination and a pen. Whereas actual children are generally needy & annoying little shits (that require immense investment to be turned into functional adults).
@Tfmonkey - Funny thought: I just noticed the implication there.
It may be that the best approach for preventing someone with a loli attraction, who may be considering an attempt to indulge their fantasies with real children... would be to have them spend time with real children, as a means of dispelling their fantasy notions. I wouldn't lock them in a dark closet or anything, but under supervised/public conditions, it may be the best cure... 🤔🤷🏻♂️ Familiarity may breed contempt, as they say.
@Tfmonkey - I'm brainstorming in public. Not every thought is a winner.
But I see abuse as coming in different flavors, according to motivations of the perpetrator.
This idea, or some kernel of it, may be helpful for a younger male, at a crossroads. Should he be there? Ideally, no.
Men can't sit on park benches alone in public, and maybe there are unforseen consequences to a young male raised in such isolation - idealization & fantasy run amok?
@Tfmonkey - I don't mean to draw your ire.
I seek solutions for a problem, and will entertain unpleasantries to find them, if need be.
The duality of life is such, that giving someone a chance to do right, also means giving them a chance to do wrong. How can that be done while minimizing harm?
Food for thought.
Or alternatively, when you're beheading offenders... Don't forget to behead their victims too.
@YoMomz Again, it's almost certainly caused by the same factors that cause homosexuality, which are genetic/hormonal and often caused by being molested themselves.
You're free to imagine it's more complicated than that, but it really isn't.
I have nothing more to add to this conversation.
