I recognize the difference between pedophilia and sexual agression. However, with the stigma surrounding pedophilia in most cases by the time someone has admitted to the problem they have already acted on it, or have repressed the intent to on more than one occasion.

In my research, I found that there is a cycle for sexual abuse. The abuser is frustrated for some reason, they begin fantasizing about a target until they find one, then they groom the target, put themselves in situations where they can bumert power and control and then they usually go from there to the actual act of sexual abuse. Eventually it circles back to a frustration. There is nothing healthy about sexual depiction of children. Most so called harmless Loli shows young girls who are apprehensive to the abuse and then later they like it.

This could not be further from the truth. Young children who are abused may comply with the actions of their abuser but seldom do any admit to enjoying it. Loli reinforces the mindset of the abuser that their intentions, should they act on them will bring the child pleasure. When in truth, it will lead to severe emotional trauma and plenty of psycho-sexual baggage.

Lolicon is in and of itself harmless. It is how it is used by pedophiles that makes it so reprehensible.
