  Green Left - Issues: Open season on paedophilia
It is estimated that upwards of 85% of paedophile acts are of this kind.

In the literature concerning paedophilia, it is generally seen as a paraphilia or a perversion.

137-9, 154-6, 216, for example, defines paedophilia as a condition in which sexuoerotic arousal and the facilitation or attainment of orgasm are responsive to, and dependent upon having a juvenile partner of prepubertal or peripubertal developmental status.

Whether one considers paedophilia the result of a disturbed development or as a normal variant, one thing is clear: as things stand now, one can only consider the situation most unsatisfactory, both for society and the paedophiles themselves.
It is, in and of itself, an interesting psychological phenomenon to note that in psychiatric textbooks all of the negative aspects of the situation are always laid to the paedophile preference itself.
