Taking out insurance to pay off victims is not a solution to child sexual abuse.

Science says that "destigmatizing pedophilia", aka "improve the psychological well-being of people with pedophilic sexual interests", can help prevent sexual abuse. buff.ly/3PXDVk6

CSA Prevention Blog 

Finally got around to finishing a blog piece that's been sitting in my drafts folder for a bit. Talks about #research #funding and #csa #prevention through an ongoing project of mine.

I know my approach is not a typical one, but I've always appreciated the paths less traveled. If you're curious about that "path less traveled," take a moment to read this post. I'm grateful that you did!

Telling kids that people who commit abuse are monsters prevents them from recognizing abuse when the perpetrator is someone they love and trust.

RT @MistressSnowPhD
stop referring to child sexual exploitation material as “child porn.”

pornography refers to erotic material consensually produced by adults. children are incapable of giving consent. their participation in “pornography” is never consensual & always exploitation.

@puppyperv @ProstasiaInc other way around. CP includes anything illegal, CSAM only includes abusive stuff (ideally. Some people use it wrong).

@puppyperv @ProstasiaInc Ideally the government would adopt the term CSAM into existing CP laws to avoid the offensive term (and fix the laws so they focus on actual harmful content, but logic and reason is a lot to ask of politicians), but until that happens, I think the terms being different has some value. In the UK there's CSEM laws, which have similar shortcomings as the US' CP laws

@puppyperv @ProstasiaInc I'd only consider something CSAM if its existence carries a high risk of harm to a real child (mainly images and videos of a child being abused). Child pornography includes everything that the government bans under relevant laws, so it can include harmless fictional content, consensual sexting between teens, and other non-abusive content.

@puppyperv I mean I'm also a prison abolitionist so we agree in that aspect. I think accountability has a use, but more in the sense of rehabilitation and supporting survivors of abuse than as a punishment

@puppyperv Risk precedes premeditation and rape. Again, the focus here is preventing abuse from happening, not addressing it after it happens. Risk is a useful context in prevention, not reaction.
