Polish catholic archbishop: Catholic priests are not pedophiles. Americans are.

[Jaron]

Pedophilia is a sexual preference for children.  Rape is a behavior.  Two different things, chief.  I suppose it is possible to be a pedophile but never actually engage in rape... no idea how often that happens or if there's any possible way to measure for that.

Beeb mentioned one time that they have some gizmo that slips on your dick and measures how much of a chubby you sprout when they show you pictures of little boy and/or girls.

Apparently there are a number of people who are quite attracted to children, but who do not actually molest them (since they know how very, very bad things will happen to them if they do).  Or, many rely solely on child porn.

This is some serious Big Brother bullshit man. Fuck that.

So if Martinus meets a handsome 15year old boy, he wouldn't touch him sexually for three years?

I don't buy it...

You make it sound like it was something surprising. There are many men who do that (i.e. rely solely on porn) and their sexual attraction does not involve illegal acts. 

On a more serious note, this is an interesting point in a debate whether "virtual" child pornography should be allowed or not. The common position of the proponents of the ban is that it encourages pedophiles to seek contact with actual children - but your post would suggest the opposite.

Err. The age of consent in Poland is 15.

Legal pedophilia?  Good for you, Mr. Gay Lobby.

Yeah, should have used a lower figure.

But I accept defeat and I'm exiting shamefully from this thread...

FWIW my experience is that I have sought out American high school dropouts with tats and a history of abuse living in California. I think porn has nothing to do with this.

I don't think my post suggests one way or another.  I didn't mention the topic.

What do you mean by "virtual" child pornography?  Something like fiction, or drawn images, where no real child was involved in the creation?

[sbr]

Hentai, CGI some sort of fucked up video game; there are all sorts of potential '"virtual" child pornography'.

[Martinus]

I don't know why but this picture made me laugh out loud.

Or animation of any kind.

garbon offered me a handjob if I drove up to SF.  

Puh-leeze.

[garbon]

You hate other men, but you touch them as well.

I do?

You do.

You might be thinking about other gays who like the young man look.

catholic priests make up about 0.15% of US population,

Ah?
