Quick pet peeve

[Iroscato]

The way I understand it, Rob, is that the urges themselves are causing the distress, not the fact that they are not being acted upon.

Right. Many of them realise, if they were looking at it from another person's point of view, how fucked up their urges must seem. They know it's illegal, they know there's no way of acting them out without causing a child severe trauma and mental scarring, so they have to internalise and never let the demon out. It's quite upsetting reading into it and picturing it, really.
