Pedophilia, an ethical inquiry

As have I, but I’ve not actually gone through and done either, nor do I intend to. And plenty of men fantasize about raping people, and may have strong sexual urges in general, but most men are able to live normal lives. I, a hetero man, can interact and work with women without succumbing to urges to persuade, coerce, or force women into bed, and am fully capable of accepting a “no”. How is that different with pedophiles? I think we have this idea that pedophiles have no ability to control themselves, or at least their ability to control their behavior is far less than the average non-asexual person. How can this be?

  1. No
  2. No
  3. As long as he had sufficient impulse control, yes.
