    You are wrong. I do not doubt that many suppress such thoughts, but some at least also do not have them. And I’d like to make a distinction here about intrusive thoughts and things I actually phantasize about doing. I have intrusive thoughts, but I know that I wouldn’t want to act out on any that hurt another living being, even if guaranteed to have no consequences.

        You are wrong about this. If you read properly, you would have understood this.

          Well, I’ve got you this thread on one side of this point.

          And I’ve got decades of research, history and professional experience on the other side.

          You’ve not convinced me yet! 😀
