I can't oppose people having access to any media of their choice.
Particularly if such media is produced without committing actual acts of
abuse.
But I do oppose the violation of consent, particularly that of children and
particularly in areas with as much impact as sexuality.
Kids suffer enough abuse from siblings, parents, the school system etc. They
certainly don't need any more.
Back to child porn/abuse - the underlying desire to abuse children grows
stronger when it is suppressed.
That, we have been able to confirm.
Society needs to totally get off the belief that "suppression makes problems
go away".
More generally speaking, government health budgets and health insurance
premiums the world over could be slashed if only people could be educated
and supported to flush up their suppressed pain, stress, desires and
inclinations.
So many times, we've seen people totally eliminate diseases from their
bodies, even as severe as cancer, through gaining the courage and procuring
the support to flush up and release all kinds of "stuff" they've had
suppressed throughout their lives.
