What causes pedophilia?

[Leonardo Barca]

What do you think causes or has caused your own pedophilia?
The Environment OR The Biology of the brain or of the DNA?

[Fx100d]

The Biology of the brain. DNA certainly not, we never had a pedophile in my family.

[Kasz]

I think it is coded in DNA.

[Leonardo Barca]

I think it depends.

Even if you don't have someone in your family that doesn't have pedophilia that doesn't mean that it is not genetic.
In other cases pedophilia seems to appear in some neurological problems that start at an old age.
So, in my opinion, it can be both: genetic or neurological.

What does James Cantor think?

What does James Cantor think?

He thinks it origins during prenatal development, in how certain brain structures develop.

Regarding cases of "pedophilia" appearing in older people (e.g. man with brain tumor): I've heard opinions they weren't really cases of pedophilia appearing suddenly in older people but rather some pathology causing lack of self-control. For example the man with the brain tumor also started to behave sexually inappropriately towards the medical stuff (adults).

[Kofola Nizozemi]

I believe in a Divine Plan.

As children not being cuddles and hugged enough, children need affection (non-sexual), Angels are being born with specific Gifts.
