The Atlantic has a story about Shin Takagi.  Mr. Takagi manufacturers anatomically correct lifelike child sex dolls for pedophiles to use, as he puts it, to help "people express their desires, legally and ethically. It's not worth living if you have to live with repressed desire." 

To be a conscious person is to have repressed desires.  One need not be a devoted Freudian to accept the plain fact that everyone has desires for what he or she cannot have. It is a mark of maturity (and one would think rather obvious) that life can be lived and even enjoyed without indulging in every desire of the heart.  Indeed, wisdom would say that is a life that is mastered.
