I do not believe that being a pedophile is wrong. CMV.

First, some clarification: I am, of course, not supporting child molestation or anything of that nature. I do believe, however, that being attracted to pre-pubescent children is a sexual orientation that was not in the control of the pedophile himself/herself. Just as homosexuality is not a choice, I do not believe pedophilia is, either.

I think that pedophiles that do not act upon their urges are not inherently immoral simply for feeling sexual desires that they can not help. If they do not act upon their urges, they are not harming anybody. If anything, the fact that they are burdened with having sexual desires that will never be fulfilled should make people sympathize with them, not hate/feel disgust towards them.

Again, just to avoid people misinterpreting what I am saying: I do NOT condone child molestation, child pornography, or other activities that can harm children.

CMV. I look forward to reading your replies!

it's hard to argue against this since a pedophile is not the same thing as a convicted sex offender. Pedophilia is just like any other mental disorder that causes a person to produce unwanted thoughts or impulses. Having sexual attractions towards pre-pubescents is not inherently wrong, but the actions that are fueled by it are. Though if you believe that a pedophile shouldn't undergo some kind of rehabilitation, then i say you are wrong.
