No the only thing that stands between me and child molestation is my morality, but that also stands between me and money and power.

I think it’s more likely that those willing to ruthlessly abuse, exploit and manipulate others and the physical world in terms of resources are also much more likely to be the type of person who’s sexuality revolves around those same things. These guys are pedophiles sure but I’m sure they’re not loving, kind and compassionate lovers to the wives, partners or paid companions. It’s a different kind of sadism. I think that “the only thing standing in the way” is that I have no desire for that money and power and that alone is protective, beyond that I don’t have access to it so I’m not at risk of being corrupted. The human race has a love affair with hierarchy and money is easiest way to feed that beast, and those who are the best at sacrificing their own to it win, and kids are an easy target.
