Zone1 Why do you suppose married men as opposed to celibate ones molest children more often?

[notmyfault2020]

My first but not last thought on this is that married men have nearly constant access to sex and the nature of sex is that once one gets aroused, one of course wants to do something about said arousal.. and so one can have legit sex w/ spouse or resort to porn and/or cheat or whatever. If there are problems w/ the wife.. maybe she isn't too happy with her husband or what have you and the husband doesn't want to compromise w/ her or just whatever and so she doesn't want to have sex with him.. but he is used to sex and doesn't always want to deny his desires so.. maybe a child is around..

I don't know. But the notion that ending celibacy for priests is going to end child molestation is absurd.

Do you have a link to research backing this claim up?

Never heard anyone claim that. But it would help many victims in the church.
Do you have a link for this claim that married men are more likely to be pedos?
