Not a strawman it is an argument by analogy. You think it should be illegal to look at CP because you think when people look at CP it encourages child rapists to rape children. It is well known that many serial killers kill to hear about themselves in the media, and therefor it makes sense that you should think we should ban reporting on serial killers. Sure pedophilia is an illness (unlike primary attraction to those 13+ which is consistently rejected as a mental illness by the majority of mental health professionals) and pedophiles are probably pretty well off getting treated. Should they be forced into treatment? I think probably not. I think a lot of them want treatment and they will be more likely to obtain it when the current Salem Witch Trials are done with. That said yeah not everyone who watches CP is a pedophile or even suffering from a mental illness, and I don't think they should open themselves up to being forced into treatment and having their computers searched through. But really before you tell me I am being hyperbolic how about you wait until people who view CP get some treatment and a basic search of their computer instead of labeled as sex offenders for life and thrown in prison for decades where they are often raped and beaten. Because right now I am not being hyperbolic. When a six year old consents for another six year old to touch his privates, he is not really consenting to sexual activity in a conscious capacity. He does not have the understanding to do so, but he does have the understanding to say look at this. If he does the same to an adult and the adult goes along with him, the adult is then exploiting his lack of true awareness and the consent is thus only superficial. On the other hand, when a 14 year old consents for his privates to be touched, unless he is mentally retarded he understands the significance of the event and is indeed consenting to sexual activity in a conscious capacity. Also I think puberty plays a crucial if not absolutely required role in ability to enjoy sexual stimulation, and I don't think that those who have not reached puberty ever really seek out sexual interaction in a conscious sexually oriented capacity. When they appear to be doing this they are rather acting as innocent children. On the other hand you need to be naive as hell to think that a 14 year old is so naive as to not understand the significance of engaging in sexual interaction with others, and to not have an active desire to do so and ability to consent to do so with others.
