This claim may be surprising, given the extent to which sexual interest in children or adolescents is socially and legally condemned. However, studies of deviant groups show that members may express mainstream or even conservative values on social and political issues, and share widely accepted goals such as material success. While subscribing to mainstream values, group members seek to rationalize or "neutralize" the illegal and socially condemned aspects of their behavior. Jenkins notes the use of techniques such as denial of victimization (the adolescent or child is said to be consenting), denial of harm, and condemnation of the condemners (e.g., as hypocrites). Users also self-label with nonderogatory terms such as "pedo" or "loli-lover." Reports of truly sadistic and violent crimes against children (such as the Dutroux case in Belgium, in which an offender kidnapped, raped, and killed young girls) are met with expressions of disgust and anger and claims that "true loli-lovers" are interested in mutual pleasure, not violence. Jenkins considers such statements genuine expressions of feeling, not a public front, because of the private nature of the bulletin board forums."		*:"Also of interest is Jenkins' finding that, like many other deviant groups (e.g., organized crime), the CP subculture does not represent a total break with conventional morality.

			*:"Fortin and Proulx (2019) found that the most frequent pattern observed among offenders (38% of cases) was an escalating trajectory, characterized by the collection of images depicting progressively younger victims and increasingly severe abuse. However, 23% of offenders followed a de-escalating pattern. Seto and Eke (2015) observed that the majority of seized CSAM depicted pubescent or prepubescent girls, with 79% of their sample collecting predominantly girl content (i.e., over 75% of the collection), and 47% exclusively collecting such content. In contrast, among the 53% of offenders who possessed any boy content, only 9% exclusively collected CSAM depicting boys. Additionally, approximately 22% of the collections contained material involving depictions of violence and bondage."
			*:"[On a Darknet Forum] some users attempt to justify their preferences for extreme content, arguing that some pain is inevitable even during “consensual” sex and that very young children could be conditioned to enjoy it. However, this view is met with resistance from other users, indicating an internal conflict within the community about the extent of acceptable behavior. This conflict is critical for understanding the potential for internal regulation within such communities and suggests that reinforcing and enforcing existing rules could help curb the normalization of more extreme forms of abuse."

			*: As mentioned by some researchers, one potential approach to safely study the use of highly realistic sex dolls would be to embed them as a therapeutic tool within existing treatment programs like Dunkelfeld or the Healthy Sex Programme in the UK, similar to other forms of fictional sexual materials such as written stories. [...] This aligns with harm reduction principles, as seen in drug addiction treatment, which aims to minimize harm when eradication isn’t feasible [53,54,55]. Societal moral disgust often obstructs such approaches, prompting the question of whether legislation should be based on disgust. The key issue is whether current laws focus on societal repulsion towards pedophilic fantasies or genuinely aim to protect children."

	In some cases, researchers have made flawed assumptions about sex dolls and other forms of fiction, arguably equating them with non-fictional activities. In one 2023 report from Australia, denying the "wrongfulness" of sex dolls' and drawings was classed alongside other researcher-defined child sexual exploitation "myths" such as "Boys under 18 are sexually experimental and are not harmed when they interact sexually with an adult online" and "People under 18 who offer nude or sexual activity on livestream are exploring their sexuality and should not be censored".<ref>[https://www.humanrights.unsw.edu.au/sites/default/files/documents/Identifying%20and%20understanding%20child%20sexual%20offending%20behaviour%20and%20attitudes%20among%20Australian%20men.pdf Identifying and understanding child sexual offending behaviours and attitudes among Australian men - Nov, 2023, University of New South Wales and Jesuit Social Services]</ref>		In some cases, researchers have made flawed assumptions about sex dolls and other forms of fiction, arguably equating them with non-fictional activities.

	The criminalization of "child pornography" is, in part, justified by the assumption that it will cause viewers to commit contact offenses against minors. No conclusive evidence substantiates this assumption. On the contrary, "child pornography" sometimes appears to have a cathartic effect on the user.		The criminalization of "child pornography" is, in part, justified by the assumption that it will cause viewers to commit contact offenses against minors. No conclusive evidence substantiates this assumption. On the contrary, "child pornography" sometimes appears to have a cathartic effect on the user, and meticulous meta-analysis has demonstrated that offenders who are limited to consuming pornographic material have uniquely low rates of relapse.<ref>[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1359178925000497 Baskurt, S., Babchishin, K.M., Hilkes, G., & Seto, M.

	The association of CP consumption with offending is largely anecdotal and based on a simple kind of "backwards logic". After selecting a sample population who are already implicated in unlawful sex with a minor, it should not be surprising to unearth regular use of pornographic material - often considered a lesser offense, or "release valve" by those disposed towards seeking contact. This tells us nothing about CP users as a whole - a population whose scale is impossible to fully determine, despite what we already know about the lack of commercial activity. To be accurate, research needs to survey the wider population, its use of different kinds of pornography, and then look for contact-offending behavior over a fixed time-period.

	*:Interestingly, pedo-hebephilic users reported a greater reduction of sexual compulsivity compared to teleiophilic participants following doll use. Additionally, pedo-hebephilic participants more often reported acting out of illegal sexual fantasies with their dolls and a loss of interest in (sexual) intimacy with real children through doll use in the qualitative data. These self-reported data challenge the view that doll use is dangerously affecting human sexuality and instead suggest that dolls may be used as a sexual outlet for potentially dangerous and illegal (sexual) fantasies.		*:Interestingly, pedo-hebephilic users reported a greater reduction of sexual compulsivity compared to teleiophilic participants following doll use.

	*:Interestingly, pedo-hebephilic users reported a greater reduction of sexual compulsivity compared to teleiophilic participants following doll use. Additionally, pedo-hebephilic participants more often reported acting out of illegal sexual fantasies with their dolls and a loss of interest in (sexual) intimacy with real children through doll use in the qualitative data. These self-reported data challenge the view that doll use is dangerously affecting human sexuality and instead suggest that dolls may be used as a sexual outlet for potentially dangerous and illegal (sexual) fantasies.		*:Interestingly, pedo-hebephilic users reported a greater reduction of sexual compulsivity compared to teleiophilic participants following doll use.

			:: "From the perspective of those affected, the ban on child sex dolls has a negative impact on their lives and the risk of sexual violence against children. The available data provide no evidence that the tightening of the law serves to protect children"

			:: "Although a causal link is assumed by some legislators between the prohibition of such dolls and the protection of children from sexual abuse, empirical studies do not support this causality."

	In some cases, researchers have made flawed assumptions about sex dolls and other forms of fiction, arguably equating them with non-fictional activities. In one 2023 report from Australia, denying the "wrongfulness" of sex dolls' and drawings was classed alongside other researcher-defined child sexual exploitation "myths" such as "Boys under 18 are sexually experimental and are not harmed when they interact sexually with an adult online" and "People under 18 who offer nude or sexual activity on livestream are exploring their sexuality and should not be censored".<ref>[https://www.humanrights.unsw.edu.au/sites/default/files/documents/Identifying%20and%20understanding%20child%20sexual%20offending%20behaviour%20and%20attitudes%20among%20Australian%20men.pdf Identifying and understanding child sexual offending behaviours and attitudes among Australian men - Nov, 2023, University of New South Wales and Jesuit Social Services]</ref>		In some cases, researchers have made flawed assumptions about sex dolls and other forms of fiction, arguably equating them with non-fictional activities.
