      As a power fantasy mostly. They might pass it around and use it to jerk each other off but not much more than that. The problem is, it’s only a fantasy until it makes it’s way into the hands of someone with the means and derangement to act on it: two qualities which, depending on where you live, can be unsettlingly easy to come by
