> Also consumption of any kind of distrubing porn doesn't mean you actually want to do things you see in it in the real life.

No, but it does mean you support the abuse necessary to produce it.

No. If I download old files through I2PSnark - this does not mean that CP will be produced in greater quantities.

Not all porn is produced by abusing someone. Not even all CP. So your statement can't be generally true.

Anyway, my point was that pedophilia being mostly caused by child abuse doesn't make much sense. Pedophilia is not child abuse by itself, and thus there's no cycle.

Cycle of abuse would just make you abuse someone in the similar way you were abused. (regardless of any attraction to the victim)
