Your friend tells you they're a paedophile

[Sterben]

I haven't bothered to read that article Sterben posted yet but doesn't chemical castration help? Drugs such as cyproterone acetate can drastically reduce testosterone in a short amount of time.

      From what I've read about it does, but it's only used in certain cases. There is so many of them in world though and their is so many degrees of it. The definition of the in the English dictionary is (Psychiatry) a person who is sexually attracted to children. But, it's been used beyond the age of childhood. If you use the word according the dictionary, a female teacher who sleeps with 15 year student can be not be committing paedophile or acts of it. But, in the eyes of the law and the rules society a parent can be considered a paedophile for taking pictures of their children playing in the bath tub. A friend of mine works in a photo dept at a store, and he had to report photos like that to his manager. His manager had to call CPS by policy. He never told me what happened after that.
     
      So, if you go what society says about the subject. Everyone's actions can be considered wrong in some ways. Would a adult man or woman who is attracted to a teenage singer wearing a skimpy outfit dancing and posing in sexual poses be considered a paedophile? Or should the word be reserved just for those engage in direct physical contact? Would a adult man or woman be guilty if he or she logged on to one those adult cam sites and watched a girl strip on cam only to find out after she was naked that she was 16. Would that make a person a paedophile?


I'm not defending those engage in sexual acts with children, I'm just trying to get a better understanding of the word and how's it applied in our modern society.
