    Sex offenders aren't allowed to watch porn at all in my state.

    Because science suggests watching porn, and getting your fix as you put it, through porn, encourages the behavior.

    Watching child porn teaches the mind to go to children to fulfill sexual urges. Mindfulness practice has been shown to be effective in curbing urges in all forms of addiction.

    So, no. Just no to your whole post.

    There's effective treatment for addictions, rather sexual or otherwise. Rather the addiction feeds on children or heroin. And we don't need to see if fake child porn helps. Evidence already suggests it doesn't and we already have effective treatments that don't put children at risk and that don't encourage the behavior.

      As mentioned on another one of your comments, I am having a hard time finding the science you reference.

      Not judging/voting your comment, do you have the data at hand? Just out of interest.

      Some input though, you are not making a difference between offenders and non-offenders and i doubt there is even good data on non offenders to begin with.
