    He died 6 years after the “groundbreaking” book in question was published. He was kind of right about some things, but wrong about a lot of the details.

    It is definitely possible to shoot yourself in the head twice while trying to commit suicide. Your skull is actually very dense, and if you don’t know exactly where to point, you could easily fuck it up, but still be conscious enough to finish the job. This infograhic has been around for years and persists because of its inflammatory nature even though it’s incredibly misleading.

    I highly recommend you read about this man regardless.

    His Wikipedia page:



  • The idea that I subscribe to is that a pedophile is more likely to commit child sexual abuse when there is some sort of normalization going on in the form of fictional depictions of csam (or in this case, dolls). A pedophile should come to the conclusion that these thoughts are wrong, and seek help in fighting urges through medication and therapy. If it is deemed okay to indulge “just a bit”, it would probably make it easier to justify going over the edge because you wouldn’t see it as “as wrong” if you are part of a community that is barely persecuted for it.

    There will always be a lack of studies in this area though. When it comes to criminal elements, deals are cut and records aren’t fully made public because so many people plead guilty to lesser charges and the full extent of their crimes aren’t brought into the light.
