This is one of those takes that's so controversial I'm afraid to post it, which is exactly why I have to.

I neither endorse nor disavow this, and no, I'm not in the picture.

I suppose it depends how effective this actually is. I'm kinda skeptical that you can talk someone out of being a pedophile, or into being less of a pedophile. That's not usually how sexual preferences work (mandatory note that most preferences are harmless; some people try to muddy the waters).

We haven't even seriously tried it, though, because the politics of it are very bad. That's definitely dumb.

I didn't take this as a method of changing sexual preferences. But rather a way to help these people avoid acting on these "urges".

But yes, I do agree that it really depends on how effective it actually is. It nay be that this is just a case of having a few good examples but will not reflect in a broad real life scenario.
