Just as every healthy human being has two legs and two arms, he or she has a sex drive. The sex drive appears with the onset of puberty, usually between the ages of 12 and 14. While girls typically enter puberty slightly earlier than boys, the male sex drive typically is more aggressive.
Yes, young and older humans can keep a lid on their sex drives. To keep a lid on it means primarily: to keep it to oneself.
Up to the 19th century, boys were beaten black and blue when it was discovered that they were masturbating. Repeat offenders would be put into restraining jackets.
The principle effect probably was that most boys found ways not to be caught. And never talk to anybody about it. Always swear that you never do it.
Of course, men who believed that sexuality is nothing but Satan's temptation, and that giving in to any sexual inclination will mean time in hell, possibly for an eternity, have good reason to suppress their sexuality.
Catholic priests, for example. They do believe in god and the bible, do they? They do believe in hell and paradise? I mean, they don't just believe in modern morals, isn't it? And they believe that having sex on their minds will be very bad for their personal fates?
They are concerned with the spiritual well-being of fellow humans. Bringing them closer to god. Letting them know that this earthly life isn't the real life; and that the real life will only begin after judgment day. Or am I wrong?
Of course, nowadays, many Catholic priests no longer believe in god. Many of them, especially in the US, have become Catholic priests because they considered this a perfect cover for their homosexual, pedophile inclinations.
I believe that humans, especially men with forbidden sexual inclinations, can be quite imaginative when it comes to devise covers under which they can achieve sexual satisfaction without having to fear punishment. That is why businessmen go international (but not to Saudi Arabia), and why anywhere around the world, the percentage of pathological sadists is much higher among prison wardens than among the general population of a country.
Of course, when certain sexual deeds are very prohibited, humans with an inclination towards such deeds will work on alternatives where the dangers of getting beheaded or incarcerated are substantially reduced. That is why we have pornography. And when pornography, too, is outlawed, we still have our fantasies.
Who wants to guess how many humans imagine something very different when they have sexual intercourse with a spouse?
But many people want more than just their fantasies. Some at least want pornography. And I assume that those who seriously get a kick only out of child pornography will go a long way to set up an appropriate cover.
I sometimes wonder what goes on in the head of a police officer in his 30s whose assignment it is to investigate child pornography? For those who derive sexual pleasure from looking at child pornography, being a police investigator in that field would be a perfect cover.
I once read in an interview with such an investigating police officer that he sometimes feels nauseated from what he has to view as part of his job, but that he goes on with his duties because somebody will have to do the "dirty work".
I also once read of a police officer who, after having been transferred to another assignment, got into legal trouble because he kept tons of child pornography on a private computer, long after his work in that field had ended. He admitted his guilt and asked for leniency. He explained that he got addicted to that stuff because of his job.
Of course, not every man who realizes that being a police officer on that beat would be the perfect cover, will be able to join the police force. Typically, if one doesn't decide to become a police officer in one's early 20s, the chance for that kind of a career has passed for good.
But then, one can still become an anti-child pornography and anti-child prostitution activist. Or even better: a private child prostitution and child pornography investigator in an exotic land, such as Cambodia.
I sometimes also wonder what goes on in the head or in the loin of a Catholic priest who migrates from Europe to Southeast Asia to work with child prostitutes? Well, I do know that sexual stimulation and sexual satisfaction does not require physical contact. Some men can derive a lot of sexual stimulation from being in a sexual environment that matches their sexual inclinations, but they always finish off masturbating on a toilet.
For a man with such a mind architecture, nothing would be more suitable than being a Catholic priest, working with child prostitutes in Southeast Asia. He can ask child prostitutes to relate to him all they experienced, and maybe they even show him something. Under the pretext of working on legal charges, he can request that the same story be told again and again, with ever more colorful detail. He also can set up a shelter, so that he can have these poor little girls around him for much of a day, and he can enjoy watching them.
While a large number of child sexual abuse cases have been uncovered in orphanages and shelters for children, a Catholic priest may consider it too risky, to touch the child prostitutes he rescued, or to have outright sex with them. But then, you also can't touch the girls shown in child pornography. And who says that that having a 12-year old girl in front of you, telling her rape horror stories would be less stimulating to a man whose sexual fantasies thrive on such stories.
