    You’re arguing that sexual orientation can be trained or influenced by our media, which is the exact argument that the Conservative right has been using to ban books (and everything else). It’s also an argument that has been proven groundless time and time again.

        Source? Because every medical article I’ve seen states it is. We’re not talking post-puberty 16 year olds, we’re talking prepubescent little kids.

          Could you link yours? I’d rather not go digging though that stuff right now.

          I’d compare it more to a fetish.

              But this doesn’t mitivate the urges then if you want to put it that way.

                Why not? I obviously don’t have first hand experience, but AFAIK it’s essentially porn for those with the condition. Like any other porn, you watch it, get your rocks off, and forget about it until your hormones recharge. It’s a harmless and victimless outlet for them, probably the only one I can think of.

                  You don’t get desensitized to porn over time?

                    Not to the point it becomes entirely ineffective. The point here is that we don’t have a better way of dealing with or treating people with this issue. It’s the least-worst option we have available to us.
