I’m trying to see if I can think up a dumber idea than to promulgate the idea that virtual child porn should be legalized.
Hmmm. Nope. I can’t.
Two sex therapists have sparked outrage in the Netherlands by calling for ‘virtual’ child porn to be legalised to relieve the urges of paedophiles.
Amsterdam hospital sexologists Rik van Lunsen and Erik van Beek claim allowing perverts to view drawings or computer-generated images of children would ‘regulate their desires’.
The Netherlands outlawed all sexual representation of children in 2002 as technology made imaginary images too realistic
This logic would seem to continue using the fallacy that you can’t bottle up your sexuality and only by allowing its full flowering can you stop obsessing about sex.
Well, how’s the last 50 years working out for us? We’ve dragged sex out of the bedroom and onto the brightly lit stage for it to become the centerpiece of our culture. And has that made us stop obsessing about sex? Far from it, porn is now an epidemic and the sex tape is the celebrity maker. So now we have everyone having casual sex and what’s happened? Lives have become worse. We’ve got rampant venereal disease, we’ve got a majority of children born to single parents, we’ve got heartbreak and suicide.
But these two sex therapists think virtual child porn is great because it’s a victimless crime because the viewer would just be obsessing about essentially cartoon characters. So all is well, right? Wrong. At some point, guess what happens. That cartoon becomes boring. He travels further down the weirdness hole and he’s probably dragging eight year old’s down into his lair with him.
This is sick.

Everything you say here is sad but true. It's pandemic, Matt; have you read the statistics re. the money generated by the porn industry? And still they're trying for more domain names.
Sick…and really, really sad. The devil is making a killing here. He's raking in souls by the net-full.

Dutch sex therapists Rik and E-rik… Nuff said.

How many times does the "ventilation/compression" distortion of hardcore Freudianism have to be refuted by empirical observations before it loses its last professional adherent? with all we know about neuroscience, do they seriously still think that stimulating and rewarding a circuit will decrease its strength? Wow.

@theraineyview: the funny thing is, I'd bet dollars to donuts these guys think violent movies and videogames are terrible, and kids shouldn't play with toy guns.

These scientists(?) are lying to themselves. Pornographic cartoons are a regular feature of pornography. Dr. Judith Reisman has documented for years the use of cartoons in porn. I hope the Ditch put these two idiots in the looney bin!

I almost threw up in my mouth. Mental note: don't read CMR on a full stomach.
