"Nevertheless, to lose focus on the problem of child molestation throughout society would be a mistake."

It would also be a mistake to lose sight of the fact that the biggest problem is not with child molesting--pedophilia--but with homosexual molestation of teen boys.

For psychological purposes, a 14-year-old is not a child. He is past puberty, and therefore a youth.

While there may at some point in history have been a homosexual man who was not sexually attracted to youths, such a phenomenon has not come to my attention.

The biggest problem is that men who suffer from SSAD are more strongly attracted to youths than to any other age group, are much more likely to act on such desires, and in fact do act on those desires with distressing frequency.

Pedophilia is a separate problem, and not nearly as common as ordinary garden-variety homosexuality.

Wherever an ordinary garden-variety homosexual has access to youths, those youths are at high risk. Much higher risk than teenage girls face through proximity to healthy men.

Yep. Homosexuals, being around 2% (including bisexuals) of the population, account for a third of child molestations. Sources: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
