Just as every healthy human being has two legs and two arms, he or she
has a sex drive. The sex drive appears with the onset of puberty,
usually between the ages of 12 and 14. While girls typically enter puberty
slightly earlier than boys, the male sex drive typically is more
aggressive.
Yes, young and older humans can keep a lid on their sex drives. To keep
a lid on it means primarily: to keep it to oneself.
Up to the 19th century, boys were beaten black and blue when it was
discovered that they were masturbating. Repeat offenders would be put into
restraining jackets.
The principle effect probably was that most boys found ways not to be
caught. And never talk to anybody about it. Always swear that you never
do it.
Of course, men who believed that sexuality is nothing but Satan's
temptation, and that giving in to any sexual inclination will mean time in
hell, possibly for an eternity, have good reason to suppress their
sexuality.
Catholic priests, for example. They do believe in god and the bible, do
they? They do believe in hell and paradise? I mean, they don't just
believe in modern morals, isn't it? And they believe that having sex on
their minds will be very bad for their personal fates?
They are concerned with the spiritual well-being of fellow humans.
Bringing them closer to god. Letting them know that this earthly life isn't
the real life; and that the real life will only begin after judgment
day. Or am I wrong?
Of course, nowadays, many Catholic priests no longer believe in god.
Many of them, especially in the US, have become Catholic priests because
they considered this a perfect cover for their homosexual, pedophile
inclinations.
I believe that humans, especially men with forbidden sexual
inclinations, can be quite imaginative when it comes to devise covers under which
they can achieve sexual satisfaction without having to fear punishment.
That is why businessmen go international (but not to Saudi Arabia), and
why anywhere around the world, the percentage of pathological sadists
is much higher among prison wardens than among the general population of
a country.
Of course, when certain sexual deeds are very prohibited, humans with
an inclination towards such deeds will work on alternatives where the
dangers of getting beheaded or incarcerated are substantially reduced.
That is why we have pornography. And when pornography, too, is outlawed,
we still have our fantasies.
Who wants to guess how many humans imagine something very different
when they have sexual intercourse with a spouse?
But many people want more than just their fantasies. Some at least want
pornography. And I assume that those who seriously get a kick only out
of child pornography will go a long way to set up an appropriate cover.
I sometimes wonder what goes on in the head of a police officer in his
30s whose assignment it is to investigate child pornography? For those
who derive sexual pleasure from looking at child pornography, being a
police investigator in that field would be a perfect cover.
I once read in an interview with such an investigating police officer
that he sometimes feels nauseated from what he has to view as part of
his job, but that he goes on with his duties because somebody will have
to do the "dirty work".
I also once read of a police officer who, after having been transferred
to another assignment, got into legal trouble because he kept tons of
child pornography on a private computer, long after his work in that
field had ended. He admitted his guilt and asked for leniency. He
explained that he got addicted to that stuff because of his job.
Of course, not every man who realizes that being a police officer on
that beat would be the perfect cover, will be able to join the police
force. Typically, if one doesn't decide to become a police officer in
one's early 20s, the chance for that kind of a career has passed for good.
But then, one can still become an anti-child pornography and anti-child
prostitution activist. Or even better: a private child prostitution and
child pornography investigator in an exotic land, such as Cambodia.
I sometimes also wonder what goes on in the head or in the loin of a
Catholic priest who migrates from Europe to Southeast Asia to work with
child prostitutes? Well, I do know that sexual stimulation and sexual
satisfaction does not require physical contact. Some men can derive a lot
of sexual stimulation from being in a sexual environment that matches
their sexual inclinations, but they always finish off masturbating on a
toilet.
For a man with such a mind architecture, nothing would be more suitable
than being a Catholic priest, working with child prostitutes in
Southeast Asia. He can ask child prostitutes to relate to him all they
experienced, and maybe they even show him something. Under the pretext of
working on legal charges, he can request that the same story be told again
and again, with ever more colorful detail. He also can set up a
shelter, so that he can have these poor little girls around him for much of a
day, and he can enjoy watching them.
While a large number of child sexual abuse cases have been uncovered in
orphanages and shelters for children, a Catholic priest may consider it
too risky, to touch the child prostitutes he rescued, or to have
outright sex with them. But then, you also can't touch the girls shown in
child pornography. And who says that that having a 12-year old girl in
front of you, telling her rape horror stories would be less stimulating to
a man whose sexual fantasies thrive on such stories.
