You can induce fetishes and sexual tastes to someone by repeatedly showing him enticing pictures. This is why alternative sexual practices have exploded as porn got mainstream, or movies/books like 50 Shades of Grey (aptly called "Mommy porn") got mainstream.

People aren't born with a set of fetishes in their head. I'm not either arguing for a "think of the children" line or reasoning, creating AI generated CSAM content is a niche activity, so forbidding it won't affect our freedoms significatively.

There is no evidence that fetishes could be "induced".
https://psyarxiv.com/cw24q/download/?format=pdf Here check the litterature review. Also the simple fact that alternative practices have boomed with porn being mainstream is a simple case of induced fetishes. We see very few amateurs of latex parties or shibari in Amazonian tribes for some unknown reasons.

[Edit] better paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32081698/

"Lifetime pornography use was reported by most respondents. After adjusting for age, age at first porn exposure, and current relationship status, the associations between pornography use and sexual behaviors was statistically significant"

The first paper in the literature review and its citations argue how popular tv shows like "The Twilight Diaries" and "Riverdale" normalize rape and violence against women, I can't take it seriously.
It's so tiresome. How do you explain that facial ejaculation, which is a specific porn move, has become something common nowadays, while 100 hears ago, not even prostitutes would do? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32081698/

- Checked the french (original) edition, this is not in Sade's book. I'm sorry that your pedo quotes from goodread are wrong.

- Yeah, Greeks had such tendencies. They had slaves too. What is the meaning here? Since we're discussing ancient greek culture, did you know that the real meaning of Oedipe's myth was that you'd be handsomely punished for being a pedophilic rapist? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laius
