Pedophilia: Just another sexual orientation?

Well part of this new research has studied medical castration as well as other medical interventions that have worked.

On my local npr station they were just discussing this article. There are some medicines that lower the libido, help with impulse control, and along with therapy and behavioral mods...they don't abuse again.

If this is there before birth and they can figure out a direct link...maybe a better medical solution can be engineered.

It's an interesting thought.

@Minni - I see what your sayin' but I'm sure gay people would not appreciate being likened to pedo's. Just sayin'.

I don't think many ppl would voluntarily be sequestered away from society or even participate in the medical studies and take the medicine bc of the stigma.
No one wants anyone to know they are on pedo pills.

I think most would try to deal with it themselves and end up hurting innocent kids.

They are only doing these rationalizing articles and looking into treatment because so many caucasians have an inclination for children. They'll lock non violent drug offenders up for years but wanna save these sick chesters

I should have written the title better.

Being sexually attracted to children may just be another sexual orientation.

Having a sexual relationship with a child (the act of pedophilia) is always wrong and unacceptable. No question there.
