Hi Markaba,

I don't mean this in an antagonistic way, but your statement "The evidence for direct harm is well-documented; the evidence for iatrogenic/sociogenic harm is not" isn't at all factual and this has been admitted even by former CSA industry activists. Study after study has shown conclusively that positive outcomes are just as frequent as negative ones, and that negative outcomes are associated with coercion, prior emotional trauma or an abusive home environment, and hostile third party reactions.

The second volume of Edward Brongersma's Loving Boys cites 34 studies from the US/UK, 42 studies from Germany, 5 studies from France, and 11 studies from the Netherlands which agree unanimously that lasting damage is indeed iatrogenic/sociogenic. It's worth noting that despite their objectivity about the subject, none of the authors of the aforementioned studies were as we would put it, "pro-contact." Brongersma's amazing book is available in PDF format on IPCE.

Here is an article that goes into explicit detail about the roots of CSA industry literature:

Again, please don't misread any antagonism in this post. I just wanted to share this.
