Drawing any general conclusions about the effects of CP on their viewers based solely or primarily on interviews with child molesters is fundamentally flawed, for the simple reason that it doesn't properly account for the people who view CP but aren't seriously tempted to engage in sexual acts with children because of it. It would be like interviewing violent criminals and asking whether violent movies and video games increase or reduce their inclination to commit violent acts, and concluding that violent movies and video games should be banned based on the findings. What it ignores is that the vast majority of people who partake of these movies and video games are not seriously tempted to engage in the acts portrayed in real life.
