What is
pedophilia?

Persons who feel sexually and/or emotionally attracted to
children are called pedophile.
Women as well as men can be pedophile. Some pedophiles prefer
children in a certain
age-range, whereas others are more flexible. Some people are
almost exclusively attracted
to children, whereas others are also attracted to adults.

Are all pedophiles
homosexual?

Approximately three fourths of the pedophiles we know prefer
children of their own sex,
i.e. man/boy or woman/girl. The rest are interested in the
opposite sex or both sexes.
Some pedophiles frequent the homosexual subculture while others
don't feel welcome there
and feel that they have little in common with gays and lesbians.

Is pedophilia and incest
the same thing?

No. Incest means sexual intercourse between blood-related persons
such as brother and
sister. In recent years the word incest has been used in
particular about sexual relations
between father and daughter or stepfather and stepdaughter. Such
relations can be
problematic because the father often abuses his position of power
to get a sexual
relationship, which the daughter does not want. The incestuous
father is usually not
pedophile, but uses the daughter as a substitute, for example
because of problems in his
relationship to her mother.

What causes
pedophilia?

Throughout more than a century and a half, numerous sexologists,
psychologists,
physicians, and other scientists have tried to find the reason
why people have different
sexual orientations, but in vain. Often somebody has claimed that
he has found the cause,
but these claims have always been refuted by closer scrutiny.
There is not even an
agreement whether nature or nurture is more important. The only
thing there is reasonable
agreement about, is that the sexual orientation is determined
already in early childhood.

The claim that people become pedophile because they have been
sexually assaulted in
their childhood is not supported by the experiences of our
members or by controlled
scientific investigations.

Is there a cure for
pedophilia?

No. Officially pedophilia is regarded as a disease while other
sexual orientations such as
homosexuality, transvestism, and sadomasochism are regarded in
Denmark as what they are:
sexual orientations. The reason for this discrimination is purely
political. There is no
scientific justification for regarding the former as a disease
but not the latter. We do
not believe that pedophilia is a disease, and this explains why
the cause of pedophilic orientations is unknown and all attempts
at curing this condition have failed. Furthermore, pedophilia involves
no "symptoms" as pedophiles cannot be distinguished from the
rest of the population.

Throughout the times, many therapists have claimed their
ability to cure pedophilia and
other sexual deviations, but these claims have consistently been
refuted by long-term
follow-up studies. Occasionally, the patients have been
suggestionized into believing that
they had been cured. In other cases, the patients have
deliberately faked in order to
escape the possibly painful therapy or avoid ruthless
punishments.

How many pedophiles are
there?

It is estimated that pedophiles constitute between 0.2 % and 1 %
of the population, but
this number in uncertain.

It is impossible to count the pedophiles because they are
unlikely to admit to some
unknown interviewer that they are pedophiles, and they may not
even admit it to
themselves. Crime statistics are not useful for this purpose
because only a very little
fraction of the pedophiles violate age of consent laws, and even
if they do the children
may have no interest in reporting the crime if they experience
the relationship as
voluntary and positive.
