... A Japanese company named Trottla already ships child-sized sex dolls globally. Earlier this year, a Canadian man went on trial after he was arrested in 2013 for ordering such a doll. Under Canadian law, they are considered child pornography and he could go to jail for seven years.
But what if dolls like these could help rather than hurt? Ron Arkin, a robotics engineer at the Georgia Institute of Technology and one of the panelists, argued that people should not only legally be permitted to have such dolls, but perhaps some should be handed prescriptions for them. In his opinion, VR and sex robots might function as an outlet for people to express their urges, redirecting dark desires toward machines and away from real children. If it works, it could help past offenders reintegrate harmlessly into society as well as helping prevent those who have never offended from doing so.

Some researchers are cautiously optimistic about the idea. “It is possible that virtual child pornography content or other simulations such as child sex dolls or robots might be a safer outlet for at least some individuals who are sexually attracted to children,” says Michael C. Seto, director of the Forensic Research Unit at the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group in Canada.
But both he and Renaud pause at the notion of open access to child-sized sex robots – not when we don’t know what effect they might have on pedophiles. “I wouldn’t take any chance with that kind of use of robotics,” says Renaud. “Maybe some very intelligent and controlled individual could have such contact only with dolls, but for [others], I think that would only lead to the need to go further and to cross the line with real victims.”

My abuser was arrested decades later and was found to have a hidden camera in his bathroom, with a monitor in his closet along with one of those life sized toddler dolls (made for little girls to play with, not a sex toy). HE COMMITTED MULTIPLE COUNTS of child molestation and rape. Allowing them to simulate sex with children DOES NOT HELP.
A better idea is to shoot these sick SOB’s in the head with a cheap bullet and be done with it.
This is encouraging a sickness when it needs to be destroyed.
..... I think perhaps it should be noted that there is a definite difference between Treating a disorder versus Feeding a disorder.
The research is overwhelming: access to “specialized” pornography increases the desire to engage in those activities. You can for some perversions generate other results with careful in-patient design and oversight, but that level of supervision would not be in place in the real world implementation of this proposal. I assume the increased desire to engage in the behavior would carry over to pedophile dolls. These are a terrible idea and in no way something for which prescriptions (and medicare) should be used.
I could support it..........IF...... the “treatment” included electroshock therapy for the participant for negative reinforcement.
You’re still talking about physical effects. They are still pedophiles because they still view children as objects for sexual gratification. Just because they don’t have an erection at the moment, and aren’t horny at the moment, doesn’t mean they aren’t pedophiles.
Pedophilia is not a birth defect, or an acquired physical disability. It is a choice. No one is physically predisposed to have sex with children.
Testosterone affects people physically. It doesn’t plant thoughts in people’s brains.
I am not going to promote paedophilia, but why not seeif it would work...
No. Just...no.
I think banks should have branches with less money, that are less secure and easily robbed in order to satisfy those that have a deep desire to rob a bank. It could prevent larger losses.
Maybe it was and drawn Maggie and Jiggs cartoons?
The Japanese are on to something here. They’ll make a fortune selling those things in the Muslim world.
Applied in .44 or .45, it’s pretty much foolproof.
I think such dolls should be powered by ungrounded AC current.
Can it be used to treat homosexuality as well?
:)
I don't know much about guns, but I definitely support RKBA. And even people in prison hate pedos. ... the lowest scum ever.
When I was in law school, I did an internship at the D.A.'s office in Denver, on bond/bail hearings.
It was quite easy to convince the judge to not release these sick bas****s, that they were a danger to society. Some of the things those men did made me want to vomit. Even little girls, like two or three years old.
Most often, it was a man close to them, like their mother's boyfriend, or an uncle.
Sadly, they never had a father around to protect them.
You know, the irony of a tech geek arguing the case for sex robots, is enough to sprain my eye sockets.
The gay marriage stuff started with the Stonewall Riots of 1969.
You don’t follow the naughty teacher ping list very much, do you?
