Answer:

Pedophilic disorder is characterized by recurring, intense arousing fantasies, urges, or behavior involving children (usually 13 years old or younger).

Pedophiles may be attracted to young boys, young girls, or both, and they may be attracted only to children or to children and adults.

Doctors diagnose pedophilia when people feel greatly distressed or become less able to function well because of their attraction to children or when they have acted on their urges.

(See also Overview of Paraphilias and Paraphilic Disorders and Overview of Child Neglect .)

Pedophilia is a form of paraphilia. Because it causes harm to others, it is considered a disorder.

Whether nterest or involvement between two people is considered pedophilic disorder depends on the age of the people involved. In Western societies, a diagnosis of a pedophilic disorder requires that the person be 16 years old or older and at least 5 years older than the child who is the object of the sexual fantasies or activity. Howeve involvement of an older adolescent (aged 17 to 18) with a 12- or 13-year-old may not be considered a disorder. The age criteria used to identify when such activity is considered a crime may differ.

Pedophilia is much more common among men than among women.
