If what he said were true, I would expect to see far more pedophiles. I think I might have a way to test it though. The research is beyond me, so I can't do this, but it occurs to me that if internet porn is indeed creating the perfect environment to create pedophiles there should be evidence in age distribution of offenders - they should be mostly in their early to mid twenties, people who spent their sexually-formulative teenage years online with maximum exposure to online pornography. I also have my doubts about just how easy child porn is to find - I've always assumed that it's got to be fairly hidden, simply because any advertised too openly would quickly attract the attention of law enforcement. But, for obvious reasons, I'm not going to look for it myself and find out with any certinty. An interesting theory, but something just feels wrong.

I think I might have a way to test it though. The research is beyond me, so I can’t do this, but it occurs to me that if internet porn is indeed creating the perfect environment to create pedophiles there should be evidence in age distribution of offenders – they should be mostly in their early to mid twenties, people who spent their sexually-formulative teenage years online with maximum exposure to online pornography.

I also have my doubts about just how easy child porn is to find – I’ve always assumed that it’s got to be fairly hidden, simply because any advertised too openly would quickly attract the attention of law enforcement. But, for obvious reasons, I’m not going to look for it myself and find out with any certinty.

Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death." - James 1:14-15 Don't be decieved...it's not a mental disorder, it's sin. Deal with your sin, repent before a holy God, trust in Christ and he will lift your burden and take away your desire. Maybe not overnight, but He will do it. “But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.
