re: #116 Obdicut

It is completely wrong to say it’s largely a learned behavior. There are no definite studies at all on the causes of pedophilia. There is lots of research, but no researcher would definitely say that it was a largely a learned behavior. that’s merely one theory.

Furthermore, many pedophiles also have sex with adult women. It is not nearly as clear-cut as you make it out to be.

Again, you are arguing with yourself. I did not say “largely”, I said “often” which the studies indicate. In the past it was considered true, more currently it is only considered a factor, but not in the majority of cases.

Also, I agree many pedophiles also have relations with adults women, in which case their actual category is different from fixated pedophiles. Also, some no-pedophiles also engage in pedophilia on occasion. There are a variety of legal and medical terms and categories, I do not claim the issue is clear cut.
