Since the term "pedophile" has been misused and misunderstood on this forum i felt it was appropriate to put up this thread.
According to the imformation given in the Wikipedia link 80 to 95% of pedophiles are male. Pedophiles are divided up roughly into 3 categories in the Wiki link by the Viennese Psychiatrist Richard von Krafft-Ebing. 1 ) pedophile 2 ) surrogate (that is, the prepubescent youths are regarded as a substitute object for a preferred, non-available adult object) 3 ) sadistic The information on the link is too long to quote, but Wikipedia does have a reputation for objectivity. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedophilia Quote:

Mouse is of course right; the term is misused and applied indiscriminately to sexual abusers of children and young adolescents.
Yet it seems that a paedophile can no more help his (or her) feelings than can an homosexual or heterosexual; that's probably why there is no known "cure". There are I have heard many people who have paedophile urges who have not yet harmed a child and don't want to, and there is no-one to whom they can turn.
That is a terrible thing to have to live with.
