157. Huh. Well, it isn't normal for a grown man to lust after children.

Having said that, pedophiles do. Something in their brains lacks the disgusted impulse that keeps most of us from lusting after children, relatives, or those whose sex are outside of their orientation. There is an evolutionary advantage to to letting children grow up unmolested as is the case with amorous feelings toward ones relatives.

I can't blame people for their subjective feelings, but having them does not mean acting on them. It may not be a pedophile's fault that he feels the way he does, but it is sure as hell not his victims' fault either. Children can only be victims in this situation, never willing participants. So, to those which such impulses, I'm afraid it is there duty never to act on them and never to give anyone the slightest reason for concern. Part of that is not asking how young a kid can be and still be the subject of lust.
