[quote author=Armadeadn] There's a difference between having a local anesthetic which is all you need, and being drugged so heavily that you don't know where you are or what has happened. I'm just wondering why they drug people so heavily over there. [/quote] This is not a UK vs US thing. Her teeth were probably a lot worse than yours, so she needed general anesthesia. Also, why the hell would you want to experience someone ripping your teeth out? A lot of people prefer to be knocked out and may specifically request that.
It's a LOT scarrier to be knocked out than it is to just be lying there as your teeth get pulled (with a working local ofc...) I'd seriously have nightmares for weeks if they knocked me out :/
Our dental care can be subsidized but the NHS so I assume it is cheaper for them to use local. It only costs around £47 to have teeth pulled out and fillings done etc so dentists try to keep costs down. Even if you have 10 fillings it is still £47 for the lot. Most dentists try to pursuade you to go private by admitting you will get a better job and also a white filling.
His "wife-u" is some pillow with an underage looking anime girl that he humps. This guy is probably going to go to prison for CP btw. He started making creepy comments on facebook about things he wanted to do to underage girls, and then the FBI raided his house and found a bunch of CP. He claims it was all an elaborate joke. Horrible, NSFW, but hilarious. It will probably be played in court. I wouldn't want to be on that jury trying not to laugh at him raping his damn pillow. This is what happens when someone is exposed to too much anime and weird internet subculture. I bet he was part of one of those banned subreddits. http://madthad0890.tumblr.com/post/14221449410/it-was-our-first-time
I thought I had seen some great acting performances when I watched Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire and Meryl Streep in Sophie's Choice, but I had not yet seen this:
That guy is a pretty sick puppy. It's unfortunate, but there aren't any great methods of treatment for pedophillia currently. The best case scenario is generally to get them to stop actually doing anything to children, but the desire tends to be immutable. They tend to be quite prone to fantasizing that the attraction is mutual, and they rationalize that they aren't harming someone else immensely when they act on these desires. I have to deal with these types of characters and especially their victims, although I have never encountered anyone with an otaku love pillow.
The pillow wife thing is incredibly strange. Any thoughts on that as mental health professional? I want to point and laugh, but I think this guy is incredibly sick in the head. Edit: apparently the pillow wives are a trend in Japan. http://gizmodo.com/5321350/japans-2+d-lovers-falling-in-love-with-a-body-pillow http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/26/magazine/26FOB-2DLove-t.html?pagewanted=all
I think putting them in a room with this might cure them... I don't know about you but I won't be getting any sleep this week.
Careful. The kind of dudes who have pillow wives might try to rape it or give it marriage proposals. More creepiness:
The dolls have orifices though. I would think the pillow would chafe your junk. I wonder what these guys do with their love objects when they wear them out. Do they just throw them in the trash? Seems kind of harsh to do something you supposedly love. And how do people react when they see someone taking a worn out sex doll or a jizz soaked pillow out to the dumpster?
One of the articles says he puts a new cover on when it wears out. Or she needs to look good for a photo
It looks like pedophelia and paraphelia. The attraction to objects is deviant, but it doesn't harm anyone else any more than using sex toys or whatever. They clearly have significant social issues and could benefit from therapy to work on at least basic social skills, but they don't present a danger to others. But the fact that he takes pictures and tells the world about it very strongly suggests that the pillow business is the least of his problems. The pedophelia is the part that truly scares me. I certainly don't buy that this guy is joking about those urges. They really need to investigate this guy right away and give him a psych eval, including personality assessment. It's difficult to imagine how a pedophile thinks unless you've had a conversation with them about it. It really turned my stomach the first time I realized how there is often no remorse at all regarding these urges and a lot of bizarre rationalization and romanticizing of these encounters. I've heard sexual assault charges of children discussed in a manner that I might discuss getting a speeding ticket for driving 1 mile over the speed limit. It's like it's a bother to have to explain it, and there's little sense that they feel they did anything wrong. Not everyone is this way, but the lack of empathy in the severe instances is quite chilling. You tend to have much better outcomes in treatment if the individual at least is aware that it is wrong and harms others. That tends to be an area of focus in therapy for these individuals. If you have a combination of pedophilia and Antisocial Personality Disorder, which indicates the individual is more or less incapable of feeling empathy, you've got a very serious problem on your hands. Pedophelia tends to be a chronic problem, especially in males, who have double the recidivism rate compared to females.
