How does that follow?
Because like most hominids you have been coded with the following rule sets:
1. Protect the innocent children.
2. Sex is violence.
I would suggest to you that number 1 is generally a nice and fine rule, but that number 2 is only true of the patriarchy and not true timelessly and eternally of sexuality. How are you going to deprogram yourself?
Anyways, I would love to hear what you all think about the morality of watching CP versus personally engaging with children sexually and the ways in which one can deal with the guilt from such activity that one perceives to be immoral...
Pornography hurts everybody, man, woman, and child. Stay away from that scene.
Whole civilizations that lasted millennia practiced pedophilia as sacred institutions of their society, these were civilizations richer in culture, genius, and morality than any that have ever existed... so infer from that about the guilt that ought to follow from sexual intimacy between children and adults.
