You are not a pedophile unless you act, or do obscene things with that. You are just a person with very unsavory desires. Once you act on it in any sort of way you are a pedophile...and a criminal. So yes, I pity people with this desire and commend them for not acting on it. I hope they can get help and never cross that line.
I frankly don't care. I don't appreciate being compared, in any way, to people who are attracted to children.
There's a line I will not cross. And it's assuming that being a pedophile is normal.
People also REALLY need to stop this bullshit, "It's not pedophilia unless it's acted upon." Yes it absolutely is. All you're doing is thinly-veiled defending this disgusting bullshit. There is no professional definition that says pedophilia is only about acting on a desire.

Except it's children and not other consenting adults. That's kind of a big differentiation. So, no, it's not the same at all.
Holy hell I'm surprised at how many people actually defend this shit on here. And/or the lack of basic understanding of differences between CHILDREN and CONSENTING ADULTS.
Wow you couldn't be more backwards if you tried. Being a pedophile means you are attracted to children. It does not mean you have acted upon it. You could have, you could have not. It means you are ATTRACTED TO CHILDREN.
Versus consenting adults. It's fucking insulting to every single person who isn't heterosexual to compare being attracted to other consenting adults who happen to be the same sex as you to people who are attracted to children, most of whom can't even deal with that kind of psycho-sexual impulse, and none of which can give consent under current law.
I guess you can't read then.Hearing a lot of emotional backlash, not hearing a lot of actual rebuttal.

Then you're a pedophile. I'm not sure what's so hard to understand there, buddy. Pedophilia has nothing to do with actions. It's about attraction. Stop misusing words.
Then Honestly, it does not classify you as a pedophile, really pedophile is not like being gay or trans. This is something that a line has to be crossed in order to really be a pedophile. Admitting you may have a problem and seeking help separates people who have desires and don't wish to act from being a pedophile.
My god. /facepalm
The act of desire of an underage person is pedophilia. Actions are not taken into account in the definition.
Wow. Well that's all there is to say, isn't it. I'll just let you keep on spouting that crazy shit.
Are there people in this thread actually defending pedophiles? Really?
I hope none of you pedo defender ever have children. Seriously, sterilize yourselves now so society at least doesn't have to worry with you passing on your DNA.

Except you're not, but it's cute that you think you are. Keep on defending dem pedophiles. The new frontier in social justice.I'm sorry you find it so offensive that i am trying to look at a situation objectively.
I can see your point, but the generalization is not fair to the LGTBQ community. The fact that pedophilia is legally and morally wrong in most cultures should set it on its own...with bestiality(not be be confused with Furry Fandom).

I don't think anyone is defending pedophiles. Just saying.
what is troublesome this admitted pedophile keeps referring to his mental illness as a sexual orientation and if there is enough AACP psychiatrist agree with his assertion then pedophiles wont be allowed to be discriminated against for their sexual orientation you couldn't refuse to hire or fire a admitted pedophile even if the job was being around children
We're not here to dictate people's tastes. Pedophilia is wrong because of the harm and abuse it causes when acted upon, not because we randomly decided what people are and are-not allowed to be attracted to.
Provided they are not, and show no inclination towards, acting upon it, their turn-ons are their own business.
