Analyzes sensation-seekers without demonstrating causation or how sensation-seekers are different from their non-seeking peers. Yes, someone who already has an interest will find it in RL or media, but did gay-Pronz make you gay? It did nothing for me.

Real violence. Not even pretend ( although some researchers are very unable to distinguish between the two. ) But you previously argued that Pronz is substitution for those who don't/can't get any. We can't then argue that they are having sex or are under imminent "threat" of getting laid.

And again, if they were already sexually active at time of media exposure, then you have no causation.

""Funny enough, the young brain is more reactive to negative reinforcement than the older one. "

So now they're more aversive than seeking? It would then seem that seeing sex they initially find disquieting should put them off it for life? Maybe not. But that's what they seem to be arguing.

Do you even read these links?

However, I'll try to force the connection.

"My cousin told me that this stuff was sexy, but I'm not turned on by that stuff to begin with. False advertising."

( Avoids rather than seeks )

Although your article has an interesting connection between gullibility and the aging process. Which then suggests we should expose them to Pronz at a young age while they're still resistant to folks trying to sell them a sexuality they ain't buying. If we delay massive Pronz exposure, they might believe, as you do, in whatever is being sold to them.

Lead researcher Dr Karen Ersche said: "It has long been known that not everyone who takes drugs becomes addicted."

Yes, the minds of addicts are different from the minds of others. So, "Pronz is a gateway drug" just won't be true for the majority. And even though only some are alcoholics, the notion that alcoholism is inevitable in most led the hysteria which brought us Prohibition and all the horrific fallout thereof.

"I think the young are less prone to discrimination so perhaps more vulnerable to going to areas where they shouldn't - against their own safety."

Even though they're better able to resist deception and are more prone to being averse to the negative elements of it? It sounds like they're less vulnerable to me. Except in the population who have a sensation addiction, but who, as addicts, aren't wired like the general populace anyway.

"I don't know why the LEAs will not divulge CP data or examples but I doubt their claims are exaggerated for some pereceived purpose."

And yet we know exactly why they'll lie and plant drug evidence; because they sometimes confess their rationale. If you cannot perceive the reasons for LEOs to exaggerate, then your naivete is touching, but harmful.

The CP war and the Drug War are fueled by similar things. One can be spoken of and evaluated, the other is purposefully concealed. Why LEOs become innocent angels where we cannot look is something known only to you. But I will presume that the same pressures and incentives which cause corruption in Drug Enforcement do the same in CP enforcement. Though I will admit, that when they take CP from the evidence locker its usually for a sting, not for reselling on the streets. But as the "busts" give them bigger budgets, they're simply taking money from your wallet, not from that of the "customer" to buy their expensive toys.
