"...That an autoerotic life has increases the risk of a "pedophile" molesting a child..."

Hmmm. As you intimated, the suggestion that masturbation to fantasy scenarios involving children leads to actual abuse is patently nonsensical.

It is my valued judgement (and I am living proof) that such a habit DECREASES any tiny chance that I will ever externalise my desires.

We MUST counter this argument, put forward by the police and ca's, at every opportunity. They have made this illogical, knee-jerk reaction in a desperate attempt at justifying their crushing of our human rights and freedom of sexual expression that should be our birthright.
