Science and why we can't have nice things

Based on this finding and the finding that homosexual pedophiles have almost exclusively deviant sexual fantasies the authors hypothesize that deviant sexual fantasies may have a more exclusively sexual function for homosexual pedophiles... ...but the criteria by which they were trained were not revealed to the reader. Therefore, it is unknown whether homosexual content was included in the criterion for classifying deviant sexual fantasies.
That's from a recent psychological review on child abuse I'm looking at for my critical review coursework.

That study was done in the late 90s.

Some researchers shouldn't.

Pfft.

Nobody cares if it's not a life science nowdays.

I mean, you're practically guarenteed a good job and shit, but nobody cares.

Wait... are they saying that heterosexual paedophiles don't have sexual fantasies about their victims? And that that makes it okay?

I think what they're trying to say is that homosexual pedophiles are fundamentally different from hetero ones.

What they're trying to conclude from that is anyones guess.

Actually, rereading it, I think they're saying that whatever research they're reviewing said that paedophiles have deviant fantasies, but they're not sure whether it counted homosexuality as deviant in-and-of itself and seperate to the paedophilia. And (guessing from the tone of voice in my head as I read it) that this would, in turn, discredit the research.
