Cantor insists however that these findings do not imply that pedophiles should not be held legally responsible for their actions thus encouraging criminal prosecution of both children and adults who engage in sexual acts currently deemed socially inappropriate and illegal.

	Cantor is one of the co-authors of a 2008 paper by [[Ray Blanchard]], which shaped the DSM-5 proposal of replacing the pedophilia diagnosis with pedohebophilic disorder,<ref name=phd/> adding [[hebephilia]] as part of the definition of this disorder but at the same time differentiating it into three subtypes: pedophilic type (attracted to children younger than 11), hebephilic (attracted to children between 11–14), and pedohebephilic type (attracted to both age groups mentioned).<ref>[http://www.thefreelibrary.com/DSM-V+work+on+paraphilias+begins+in+earnest-a0215844762 DSM-V work on paraphilias begins in earnest. – Free Online Library] </ref> The main argument in the paper for this addition is that the DSM-IV-TR definition of pedophilia is not sufficient to cover attraction to "physically immature persons".<ref name=phd>[http://www.springerlink.com/content/7j127536573h5q8t Archives of Sexual Behavior, Volume 38, Number 3] </ref> The proposal was completely rejected and was criticized, on the strong scientific grounds that it pathologizes reproductively valid behavior in order to uphold current social and legal standards.<ref>[http://www.springerlink.com/content/c646726371w74576/ Archives of Sexual Behavior, Volume 39, Number 3] </ref> However, Dr. ~~Canter~~ denies that he had any desire to have ~~pedohebephilic~~ added to DSM-5 and "that the contents of my paper were used by the committee to support the contents of their proposal.
