Well no. Pedophiles need help in the same way rapists need help.
There is nothing wrong with what two (or more!) consenting adults do to each other in private. There is where one side is unable to give consent. I can only imagine the pedophilia sex drive strength changes from person to person as it does for other peoples sex drives, and hope that people seek psychological help before they molest kids or partake of kiddy porn.
they only need help if they act on their preference and or the urges to fulfill their preference is hindering them from living a normal healthy life
do people who fantasies about rape need help? many couples men and women act out rape fantasies. being the rapeist and wanting to be the one raped

No. They need to seek help if they have urges to act on their preference. The Psychological help is there to help stop them acting on them.
uhm... You've gone off the deep end here, but pedophiles, people who get off on pre-teens, do need to seek help so they don't actually act on their desires.Not all pedophiles are molesters just like not all men are rapists.
It's quite simple, really.
Show them pictures of nude children (nothing sexual, just... You know; bathing, or at a swimming poor, or the beach or something), as well as nudes of adults in suggestive poses. Gauge their responses, heart rate, pupil dilation, breathing, muscle responses, blood pressure and such...
And you should have a good understanding.
Also, when someone comes in and says 'Doctor, I get turned on by children,' I think that's a pretty clear signal right there.
Aren't homosexuals getting a lot of crap from religious people and in many less advanced countries? Saying mankind accepts them is wrong. Pedophilia is accepted in certain cultures where they marry and bed children at that.
I accept homosexuality because I see nothing but love between the people I know of that sexual orientation. Between a pedophile and child, there is no such thing, not even consent.
What is seriously hurting this discussion in media is that they seem to refuse to distinguish between pedophiles and pedosexuals. And my spelling checker hasn't heard of the word pedosexuals... Anyway, what I mean is that there are many pedophiles out there who are just as outraged and disturbed by the thought of people having sex with children as you are. It's hard to say no when your body-chemistry is screaming at you to have sex with children, and if you demonize these people and make them social outcasts it will only make it harder for them, because they have no one to talk to and much less to lose. At least everyone else gets porn.
By all means, throw child-molesters off the highest buildings, or lock them up and melt the key down before throwing it away so it can never be used again. But please, talk about pedophiles like they're normal human beings, demonizing them is hurting everyone involved, including the children.
I don't think this matters nearly as much as you think it does.
There's ways to cheat that test. Maybe while he's looking at pictures of kids, he's thinking of naked men/women over the age of consent. That would cause a false positive. Also the 2nd example could also be fake.
I've been to school the nurse before and I told her I had a stomach ache BUT IN REALITY, my stomach was just fine.
