I too have a hard time to grasp why anyone would want to harm a child (sexually or otherwise)....and I still think it should be illegal AND punishable....but its just interesting how the punishment changes if its a chemical imbalance (just for example) that causes mental lapses.

An example would be murder....illegal...and even insane people get punished for it, but a very different punishment than the sane.

What i'm not certain about is your claim that "healthy" men would only be attracted to women....obviously a product of your religious beliefs that leave no room for gays, asexuals, or even people with low or no sex drive. As for what exactly constitues a "halal" way of satisfying your urges I won't touch with a ten foot pole.

Each society regulates what it defines as "normal" but as far as I know they ALL agree pedophelia is out! But I still agree with Gypsy that not enough research has been done in this field.

Stay safe all.

Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?
