Masturbating isn't training for sex. It really isn't. But the sentiment is kind of illuminating. All the guys I know that collect guns do it just for that, a collection. Like people collecting stamps. I live in a pretty homogeneous and somewhat rich place, though. I wouldn't expect a need to fight my government. Not with weapons, anyway.

To come back to the guys buying those dolls. What's the harm? They won't graduate to real children, that's silly. Just like the guys using adult dolls won't graduate to real women. They won't escalate to rape, either. Rape is mostly a power thing, to exert power over the weak. (Children are the embodiment of weakness, thus they get targeted.) The psychology of it has nothing to do with pedophilia and true enough, most child rapists ain't actual pedophiles. The other reason for rape is sexual frustration. The kind of frustration that won't build if you give them an outlet like this.

You see, the first thing people that hate freedom will come for are always the perverts and it always starts with pedophiles and child porn. I'm kind of tired of it, but that's how it is. There are also always lots of useful idiots supporting this. Just stop letting your feelings interfere with your reasoning and look at the evidence and you'll see your fears for these type of people going on to rape real children are unfounded.
