Having a hard time finding the evidence you mention, got a citation? First few articles I saw were actually advising against blanket pornography bans.

For example, Vega and Malamuth (2007) explored the role of pornography in the context of risk factors associated with sexual aggression within a group of male university students. They found that excessive pornography consumption added significantly to the prediction of sexual aggression.

This review was unable to demonstrate that there was not a relationship between early exposure to pornography and sexual offending. It also consistently appears that men who sexually offend report less exposure to pornography and that exposure to pornography does not result in more harm being caused to the victim. The review suggests that there is not a consistent relationship between exposure to pornography and offending shortly after exposure.

So a recent meta analysis has not found anything conclusive one way or the other. Operant conditioning does suggest a correlation (watching naked children while masturbating reinforces the neural pathways that link sexual arousal to kids).

I did time for a drug offense and met a lot of sexual offenders. In my state, they're not allowed to watch porn if they're on parole.

Anyway, the jury is out on if there is enough correlation between the two. But there's definitely not evidence that I could find that letting pedophiles masterbate to pictures of children is helpful, as you suggest. Rather those images are simulated or not.

I didn't suggest shit, so please don't put words in my mouth. Thanks for the citations though.
