This sexual deviancy is reviled by society and becomes a serious crime only if acted upon (via inappropriate handling of a minor, child [[rape]] or the consumption or creation of child pornography). | ||
In order for one to qualify as a pedophile, one must be 16 years or older (or sometimes 18 years or older), be attracted to one who is 13 years or younger, and have the age margin between the pedophile and minor be greater than five years. The attraction to young minors also must be either primary or exclusive. | In order for one to qualify as a pedophile, one must be 16 years or older (or sometimes 18 years or older), be attracted to one who is 13 years or younger, and have the age margin between the pedophile and minor be greater than five years. The attraction to young minors also must be either primary or exclusive. Pedophiles are only the people who are sexually harassing minors, while if minors want to have sex with them, and even better, their parents agree with that, if minors are physically ready for that, they are not pedophiles. | ||

Not all pedophiles are criminal and/or immoral, however. | ||

Pedophilia is a [[Mental Disorders|mental disorder]] and a disease and the questionable interest and behavior of those involved in it is common evidence for this perversion. However some pedophiles appear to be normal people, are married, have jobs and do not look "off" at first. Many of them even work with children as a coach, teacher, or counselor; a good example of this is [[Jerry Sandusky]]. | Pedophilia is a [[Mental Disorders|mental disorder]] and a disease and the questionable interest and behavior of those involved in it is common evidence for this perversion.

Pedophilia is arguably the most stigmatized condition of any kind, even when taking various mental disorders, physical disorders, and infectious diseases into consideration. Many people have expressed fear of pedophiles, regardless of whether the pedophile they fear is a sexual predator or not, and pedophilia is commonly used as a synonym for the act of child sexual abuse. Pedophiles are easily the most significant kind of pariah in society. | Pedophilia is arguably ''the'' most stigmatized condition of any kind, even when taking various mental disorders, physical disorders, and infectious diseases into consideration.
