    Plus a lot of child molesters aren’t even attracted to children, just the power and control it gives them.

        I did NOT say or imply that it makes anything better.

        In fact, expanding the pool of potential abusers to those that just want power over others makes it worse.

        It doesn’t make acting on it in that way any better, because it’s the same thing. Though assuming no action occurs, it’s probably an easier chestnut for a psychiatrist to crack or at least direct to healthier channels.
