Maybe I am missing the point and this is all just theoretical meandering.  
Sorry if I have disrupted the flow ...

That is sick.  Pedophilia harms children physically and emotionally.  It 
cannot be seen as a question of Victorian sexual norms (That we protect 
children is essential for a healthy society?)  Perhaps we can learn from 
Foucault, but perhaps some of his behaviour was just plain irresponsible and 
evil.  I cannot consider embracing any sort Foucaulian approach as a healthy 
model for one's life.
