I think I can understand where you're coming from there. You're asking where attraction to children comes from and speculating that it's a natural attraction in a similar vein to any other attraction. And it very possibly is, in that regard. However, the important difference between pedophilia and homosexuality or several other sexualities isn't where they came from, it's how much harm their implementation does on society in general and their sex partner specifically.

But it does bring up an interesting hypothetical here. Suppose there were a child who was, in every psychological sense of the word, fully developed; no sexual contact would do any harm to this child. Would it be acceptable for a pedophile to enter a sexual relationship with this person?
