should sex dolls that look like kids be banned?

Yeah, presumably the First Amendment allows for actual real life CP to be banned, so I'm not sure it's relevant here.

Anyway, I think if it leads to paedos being more likely to move on to real kids, it should be banned.

Read the Atlantic article - there is just as much evidence that it will cause a higher chance of offending than the opposite. Personally I'm very sceptical that these people will be satisfied by their dolls, although I admit that's more of a gut feeling (because there isn't much hard evidence either way).

Maybe the "compromise" is that such things should only be prescribed by professionals who believe it will help reduce offences? I'm trying to look at through a utilitarian lens, tbh, rather than bickering about whether it's liberal or conservative.
