This is troublesome.
I want to point out one false assumption that many seem to be making (perhaps its more comforting).
If you accept "born this way" as an explanation, and then say "well they don't control themselves... that makes them different from we/us/me" one is making a pretty big logical error.
The rest of us have way more outlets to fulfill our BIOLOGICAL IMPERATIVES than these guys do. Or at least, to get close enough to fulfill those biological needs.
Saying that they should just control themselves is stupid. I mean, of course they should, but the underlying assumption is an unspoken "just like I do in other areas because I dont XYZ".
The thing is, nobody here who is anything resembling normal knows what its like to fight a biological imperative.
What if there was no porn and having sex with women was illegal and monstrous, and there was literally no legal channel to fulfill this need? Adjust appropriately for homosexual persons. What would be the end result? In a lifetime would it be excuseable to convince yourself that 20 year old hottie wanted it and convince her too and slip once?
I'm not saying it can't be done or its an excuse to do horrible things to other people, but what I am saying is dismissing it as a simple failure of willpower is fucking stupid.
That's not to say that there can't be successful strategies of course. But to suggest its only a moral failing is pretty naive.
The real problem with our society is we think we're human and on top of the world, when we're actually just fucking meat with a little self control grafted on top that thinks its in charge. And we're actively fighting improvement by how we limit evolution.
Kill them, lock them up because they are different, accept right now there isn't really another better solution that protects everyone else, do whatever you want, but at least realize what we're dealing with.
