There is. It makes perfect sense; experts in the field agree with me and Dannager. You say if one repeatedly imagines an act, one will carry it out. Not so, even with pedophiles. You don't seem to understand that in taking out their sexual desire by watching little children in animations, it curbs their then-and-there desire to interact directly with children in the real world. It is exactly like masturbation:
Most masturbation is done while fantasizing about having sex; this is pretty much fact. The one who is doing the deed takes out their sexual desire through masturbation; when they are finished, the desire is gone, for then. It will probably come back up, but they can touch, it's no problem.
This analogy is perfect.
As a sidenote, here's a passage from Wikipedia on the treatment of pedophilia:
Treatment
A number of proposed treatment techniques for pedophilia have been developed. In 1981, writer David Crawford reported that the success rate of these therapies was very low.[47] Crawford's article did not address the use of Depo-Provera, today the most common drug used to decrease libido in sex offenders. Dr. Fred Berlin, founder of the Johns Hopkins Sexual Disorders Clinic, believes pedophilia can "indeed be successfully treated," if only the medical community would give it more attention.[20]
British inventor Adam Hildreth developed a computer program to catch internet sex offenders who pose as children. The software analyzes the user's language patterns in comparison to his age. Adults use more sophisticated phrases and punctuation than children in writing, and so the software can identify adults who pretend to be children. [48]
Medical therapies
Anti-androgenic medications such as Depo Provera may be used to lower testosterone levels, and are often used in conjunction with the non-medical approaches above. (This is commonly referred to as "chemical castration.") Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues, which last longer and have less side effects, are also effective in reducing libido and may be used.[49]
Other programs induce an association of illegal behavior with pain by means of the more controversial aversion therapy, in which the pedophile is given an electric shock while fantasizing.[50] A study by the Council on Scientific Affairs found that the success rate of aversion therapy was parallel to that of homosexual reparative therapy; that is to say, extremely low.[51] This method is rarely used on pedophiles who have not offended.
Convicted sex offenders, including many pedophiles, have been treated by the psychosurgical procedure commonly known as lobotomization. Psychosurgery has long been controversial, particularly the historical use of surgical intervention on homosexuals given that homosexuality is no longer considered a mental illness by the psychiatric community (see for instance Rieber et al. 1976;[52] Sigusch 1977;[53] Rieber & Sigusch 1979;[54][55] Lobotomies are generally no longer practiced and are prohibited in a number of countries.
Thalamotomy is an alternative surgical treatment of sex offenders in practice since the problems with leucotomy have been commonly known (see Greist 1990;[56] Diering & Bell 1991;[57] Hay & Sachdev 1992;[58] Rappaport 1992;[59] de la Porte 1993;[60] Poynton 1993;[61] Bridges et al. 1994;[62] Cummings et al. 1995)[63] and is increasingly advertised as an "effective therapy" for sex offenders (as well as for some children suffering from symptoms of child sexual abuse, since the 1980s (see for instance Andy 1970;[64] Bradford 1988a;[65] Wyre & Swift 1991;[66] Abel et al. 1992;[67] Bridges et al.[62] Cummings et al. 1995).[63] As Levey and Curfman have noted, however, given the availability of psychopharmacological treatment options, psychosurgical interventions are not likely to be employed given their extreme side effects and irreversible nature. See the same article for an in depth review of treatment options and diagnostic criteria. Additionally Reid 2002 writes that neurosurgery for sex offenders is "essentially unavailable" in the United States and that data on its use is sparse.[68]
Klaus M. Beier of the Institute of Sexology and Sexual Medicine at Charité, a large university hospital in Berlin, Germany, reported success in a preliminary study using role-play therapy and medicine. According to researchers, the pedophiles were better able to control their urges once they understood the pre-pubescent youth's view.[69][70] Schorsch & Schmidt 1979) 1994;
It's being taught in a school by a teacher who everyone thinks is a total fraud; other teachers think the same way. McGonogall, one of the more influential instructors, disapproves.
You do not think children are smart enough not to be interested in something when it is called laughable and stupid, but you give them enough credit to rationalize that because it's in school, it must have validity, even when the teacher herself, and other teachers at said school, believe it to be rubbish?
You have a strange view of children's minds.
