you're probably right! good thing we're only combining people the way we are, in conversation, and not in science fiction!

i honestly don't believe that those are the only 2 types of pedos. there are certainly pedos out there who don't do anything with children. and those are the ones who need the most help and support. obviously there is no research to directly support this right now, but there IS research that shows in places where there is access to porn, rape decreases...
look here:
"A 10 percent increase in Internet access, Kendall found, typically meant a 7.3 percent reduction in the number of reported rapes. For other types of crime, he found no correlation with Web use. What this research suggests is that sexual urges play a big role in the incidence of rape -- and that pornographic Web sites provide a harmless way for potential predators to satisfy those desires."
i don't see why this would be substantially different with child rapists. in fact, it could be even MORE helpful, because of how much more bottled up their urges must be. if it were made clear that a policy similar to "love the sinner, hate the sin" were really applicable here; that is, if we didn't punish people for their thoughts (a thing which DOES happen now, essentially, leading pedophiles to keep to themselves even more, which leads to isolation and other negative results), if people were able to seek treatment... if there were a way to produce child porn without actual children (which there is, CGI and such), i really believe this would decrease the actual quantity of child rape, and decrease the suffering of the gold-star non-raping pedophiles that exist right now, who are unable to seek help for fear of pre-emptive retribution.
i know it sounds weird, but i do think there's something to it for reals. i've been talking about it in my standup a bit lately as well. always happy for more people's opinions. talking = good!
