[X] doubt
I agree that only sociopaths and psychopaths are capable of enjoying harming other human beings, and that non-psycho-or-sociopathic pedophiles will not harm children intentionally. I even agree that not every sexual experience made in childhood is harmful per se. Nonetheless, most victims of pedophilia do report being harmed by the experience of abuse.
I also agree with your use of taxpayer ressources argument. And I’m convinced that a sincere unbiased study would most likely show that the use of such pedophiliac sex dolls would decrease the risk of pedophiles abusing children.
