Could someone who watches child porn be a good parent?

Inspired by another question here. Baseless opinions are all I'm expecting, though if anyone has data / anecdotes to contribute, that's fine too.

Yes. 10
Rarely. 11
Never. 18

    If they try then perhaps, but I'm probably being idealistic. I wouldn't trust my child around someone who watches that kind of stuff, even if he did act like everyone else.

    I'd keep that fucker away from my children.... If I had any.

    I suppose it's not impossible, but I would imagine it to be statistically less likely.

  • If this person jerks off to kids on the internet who is to say he won't be looking at children sexually in his own life? If you are willing to take the chance and have your kids around someone who could physically and emotionally scar them for life you are just as bad as the guy who is lusting over them.

  • Nobody could ever convince me that someone who is sexually attracted to children could ever be a good parent.

    Yes they might be averse to incest.

      You know—despite how popular incest is 'round here—that's actually a good point. Normal men aren't attracted to their adult daughters...(err are they? not being a father I wouldn't know.) So maybe it works the same for pedophiles. Obviously there are at least occasional exceptions in both cases.

    I don't really think you can draw a conclusion that someone is necessarily a bad parent solely because he watches child porn...

    I don't think if someone who does watch child porn actually had own children that he found them sexually attracting...

      Would you take that risk, though? I certainly wouldn't.

        It's not a "risk" to me...

        Anyways, it's unlikely that you or I even knew that a person watched child porn and had children now...

        I wouldn't really care at all... Not my cup of tea

    Depends... It think anybody who looks at child porn should be arrested for possession or perversity

    I would say it is possible indeed. Depends on the person, he doesn't necessarily have to do his fantasies in real life.
