Worth noting that my theory on AGP is still somewhat underdeveloped (and I'm not a "professional" psychologist, as if that means anything these days), but I think it's useful to look at AGP and Dysphoria (they often come together, but not always) as complex symptoms of an underlying pathology rather than the condition itself, often exacerbated by the abundance of hyperstimulus. I've identified a handful of catalysts for them, including what I've mentioned before, but I've also talked to people who seemed to have developed it purely from watching a lot of porn. I can't personally blame the porn itself because a normal healthy mind would not be intrigued by it to begin with, it would be disgusted by it, akin to the rat cocaine experiments where they found that a rat with a fulfilling life and a social life will actually _avoid_ cocaine rather than become addicted to it. Hormonal imbalance also likely plays a part in predisposing someone to AGP.
As for the question itself, from my point of view, there likely is some part of them that wants to partake in those things, but was repressed into unconsciousness likely during childhood, it takes a lot of conscious effort to bring those things to the surface and in the past that would have involved help from a professional, but we all know those don't really exist anymore, at least for cases of GD. My advice to anyone struggling with AGP/GD is to do some (i.e. a lot of) research into the concept of the Anima/Animus (lit. "the woman within the man" and "the man within the woman") and try to set up a meeting with yours, you'll know if you did it right because it will literally tell you what it wants, and it will likely be something you don't expect, like interior decorating or (men's) fashion. Also stop watching porn, it's easier to do _after_ your confrontation with the unconscious when you understand intuitively that watching porn is tantamount to torturing the part of you that wants to care for things, it's one of the few things Varg was unironically right about.
