Prevention: Helping Pedophiles | Ideas

    VI:

Stopping the desire for child exploitation

People who exploit children do so for a few main reasons:

• Porn addiction - Porn use can lead to a lowered dopamine baseline, and therefore a requirement of more shocking and stimulating pornography, like rape porn or child porn.

• Pedophilic urges - People just experience sexual attraction towards children. This can sometimes come from past abuse.

• Curiosity or accidental - People may accidentally see CP online, then possibly develop an interest, or just be traumatized.

• Money - Child pornography and child trafficking is a business for some - CSAM can be currency among the predators.

How to stop this:

i:

Understand why CP is wrong. Here is why

ii: 

Research pedophilia, porn addiction, and understand motives. People and predators can become used to things being certain ways, leading to them believing what they're doing is normal in some way.

Maybe offer help to people who aren't completely evil.

For the ones who don't understand, explain to them why.

We do this with our resources page, by making use of SEO and long term discoverability, as well as making the information into saveable images, and little bits of text. We have set up a couple things across the internet to try to find people with CP interest to passively share info with them. It resulted in a lot of good feedback from people which lead me to continue doing it, until I stopped back around 2023.

Why not prove that it can be done to help other people suffering from this?

This is not to offer compassion or accept an individual who participates in these awful things, but it's to bring some sense to the few who can be reasoned with, under the assumption that child exploitation should be fought against in ALL areas.

iii:

Additionally, be safe online, use image blocking and general safety to avoid seeing child sexual abuse material.
