She makes the exceedingly controversial allegation that pedophilia is merely another sexual orientation.
“According to current research pedophilia is an unchangeable sexual orientation just like, for example, heterosexuality. No one chooses to be a pedophile, no one can cease being one,”
“Let me be very clear here. Abusing children is wrong without any doubt, but a pedophile who doesn’t abuse children has done nothing wrong,” Heine stated, adding that pedophilia is simply a preference to have sex with kids.
“We shouldn’t increase the sufferings of pedophiles by excluding them, by blaming and mocking them. By doing that, WE increase their isolation and WE increase the chance of child sexual abuse,” she stressed.
“We should accept that pedophiles are people who have not chosen their sexuality and who, unlike most of us, will never be able to live it out freely…Most of us feel discomfort when we think about pedophiles. But just like pedophiles, we are not responsible for our feelings. We do not choose them but we are responsible for our actions,” Heine exhorted.
I am not sure where I stand here. If a girl walks by and I find her attractive but turns out she is 14, am I a pedo? What age does it become wrong and right?
Leo Diaz
well, in that case it is not technically pedophilia
pedophilia denotes attraction to prepubescent children, thus after age 11 or 12 it isn't the same concept despite being treated the same by law

Pedophilia is not a sexuality. Sexualities have to do with what gender you're attracted to relative to your own. Children are not a gender.

So there is nothing wrong with me being attracted and mating with a 13/14 year old girl who has finished puberty?
Jose Sullivan
Correct
Nathan Hall
that's an exceptionally narrow definition. It's arguably better as "what _____ you're sexually attracted to."
Chase Russell
of course pedophilia is a sexual orientation, but that doesn't mean it can be acted out.
Jackson Brown
you're looking at woman who is already an adult or soon will be
when people talk about pedophilia they mean people who get hots for 7 years old kids. well except amerimutts who need 18 years to mature
