That simply doesn't make sense.

And please don't say that they wrote about this in letters or diaries.

Because that makes them "fantasists" not "perverts". Fantasists are
people who write or talk about things without any intention of ever
actually doing them. For whatever reason.*

Wonder how many times you've heard someone say of a girl (or boy) that
they can't wait for them 'to be old enough'. Which suggests that person is
already seeing them as a sexual object. But because of the law, knows they
are too young legally. Does that make them a pervert?

To repeat "Fantasists are people who write or talk about things without
any intention of ever actually doing them. For whatever reason."

In other words, the fact that people might fantasise about being perverts
as in your example, doesn't make them perverts. It makes them fantasists.

If they were actual perverts, to quote Mrs. Doyle, "they'd be doing the
business" not just talking about it.
