I agree, but then again didn’t we have the same debate about violent video games? I don’t know why I am okay with simulated violence but repulsed by simulated sexuality.

The difference being that sexuality is typically considered an innate desire, whilst the desire to commit violence is not. Plus, we as a species have a biological imperative to protect our offspring, but apparently an immense capacity to ignore violence committed against others.

Considering how many people want to murder people (or justify murdering people) simply for being attracted to children, are you categorically sure about that?
