i was thinking more about "reefer madness" than anything else when i wrote that, ustwo. which probably makes it a less than sterling analogy.
anyway:
what exactly is a "pervert"?
that a clinical term?
are you implying that there are folk who are simply hardwired that way?
that situational factors have nothing to do with it?
that seems hard for me to believe.
on the other hand, i wouldnt pretend that anything i wrote in post 22 is explanatory.
if i think about what could prompt someone to find children sexually attractive, i would imagine that power--unilateral power to objectify another--has something to do with it. the eroticization of a taboo violation probably does too.
both seem reasonable to assume, yes?
but past that, i havent any idea. this is not a game that interests me personally, and i dont operate in a psychiatric context that'd bring me into any contact with folk who do this sort of thing, nor have a researched it at all.
