The virtuous ones are the ones who only look at the pictures on the dark web and don’t actually touch a kid.
The rest of them just think those “virtuous” ones are cowards. A really virtuous MAP would take a vow of celibacy and cut themselves off of contact with all children in any environment.
A book I have on Christian illustrations tells the story of one of these, and how nobody knew why he was a celibate and separated saint until just before he died. He confessed to a pastor that his greatest blessing was that he had never touched a child in any inappropriate way. He considered it a great blessing that God had given him the strength to say “no” to his inner demons.
The one problem I see is the “virtous” network infiltrated with the not virtous, just to gain access to anything be shared by the “virtuous”.
I feel the virtuous paedophile is like the person with gender dysphoria, preferring not to pursue the long hard work of ridding the mind of the obsession they have.
“A really virtuous MAP would take a vow of celibacy and cut themselves off of contact with all children in any environment.”
Or cut something else off...
