> human sexual attraction does not work that way.
Says who? Are you a psychologist? I don't think there is any research that supports that reading written stories about rape increases the likelihood that a person goes out and rapes a real person (and let's be clear: pedophilia isn't the part that is illegal; it's the rape).
Isn't this akin to the "playing violent videogames will make people into murderers" argument? Or with music, movies, and even comic-books before that?
I'm right there with everyone in saying no one should rape children, but at least according to US law, simulated text stories are not illegal due to first amendment rights. It would take quite a causal-link to convince scientists and the courts that something that is gross should actually be illegal.
