Actually removing pedophilia from the psychiatric realm might not be a bad thing. If it's not an illness, there's no treatment. It becomes purely an issue of morality and criminal behavior. We won't be in the position of releasing "cured" pedophiles.

For nearly 40 years I have been at odds with much of the psychiatric and psychological professions. There is a serious movement on pushing sex between adults and kids. If the mental health professions want to go along with it, there is nothing I can do about it except perhaps vomit. I wash my hands of it.

Excellent point. The cycle is offense, jail, 'cure', recidivism.

Remove the last two items in the cycle.
