And I'm not talking about Ephebophilia. Yes, it is illegal for an adult to sleep with a 15 or 16 year old in most states/countries, but the attraction itself isn't either illness or "bad". The American Association of Psychiatry does not consider ephebophilia pathology or mental disorder.

Now, to my point. Are pedophiles evil even if they don't act on their wishes? I just think having attraction for an 8 year old is just sick. It doesn't register in my brain as something humane, even if it's NEVER acted upon.

At the same time if I judge these people it only makes matters worst. By pointing fingers on pedophiles they might actually burst and commit the act of pedophilia, or commit suicide worst committing a murder. So I think they should immediately be referred to getting help/therapy.
