    And how would, everyone related to that is worried about their life…

    I doubt anyone can effectively make studies on people without endagering them, recording them identifying them and as such making them extremely uncomfortable and scared shitless.

    And even for lolicons its hard and illegal in some places including my country, the sexualization, lewdness as in many loli animes it is, not to mention loli hentai

      Just study it the same way you study any dangerous or harmful thing… study cases. You don’t have to create situations in a controlled environment to never the less do science.

      Comparing them to lolicon enjoyers would be rough, but I bet social scientists already have some methods figured out for studying that kind of stuff.

      Yes its true, but we as a society need to learn the distinction between a pedophile and a child abuser, they are often one and the same but sometimes not. Pedophiles are people who are mentally ill, child abusers are criminals. There are pedophiles who recognize their desires are monstrous and choose never to act upon them. I believe there is even a website to provide group community anonymous mental health help to this people, I think is called pedophiles with virtue if I am not mistaken.

        Actually its the other way around???

        Most abused kids havent been abused by a pedophile at all. Please find studies about this before speaking something as important.
