None. It's a mental illness. If you find children sexual then there's something deeply worrying about you.

Neither. Its a despicable condition that needs to be treated with a mix of chemicals, therapy and perhaps penis removal.

They once said the same thing about homosexuality. There's nothing inherently wrong with finding a person attractive; it's only when you act on those feelings with the wrong people that you're doing something wrong.

Um, homosexuality and pedophilia are completely different matters. If you find kids attractive then that's wrong, children are not sexually developed.
Sexual preference I would say.

I’d say they both share the ‘no choice in my sexuality’ aspect, as a pedophile didn’t choose to be attracted to children just as a gay person didn’t choose to be attracted to the same gender. Of course it’s ‘wrong’ to be attracted to kids, but we can’t deny that it happens or that it’s something other than a sexual preference.

no it's a mental illness much like how no one chooses to be depressed, they just are. Don't try and make light of it by saying its a sexual preference. It's not. these people need help and by accepting them as a 'sexual preference' we are putting children at a severe risk

But if a man finds another man attractive then that's wrong too; men aren't equipped to have sex with men.

Children find children attractive... what are they doing wrong? Also, some people develop very late and others very early so you could have a developed minor and an undeveloped adult. Also the definition of a minor varies by country. Not to mention the fact that there's a big difference between finding a child attractive and having sex with them.

Adult men have sexually developed, they understand and are able to perform sex

Children do not find each other sexually attractive though, they don't understand sex. The body does not sexually develop at such an early age for them to understand the concept. A developed minor is still not mentally an adult though, their hormonal challenges stops them from being able to rationally understand sex.

You really can’t deny that it’s a sexual preference though. It doesn’t make it okay, but it seems silly to say that it has nothing to do with sexuality when it has everything to do with sexuality. A knife is still a knife, whether you use it to kill or to chop tomatoes.
