No problem. I am pretty sure the 1-3% term is much more accurate than the 10% estimate of homosexuals, but to be honest, that 1-3% certainly get enough airtime to make you FEEL like it's 10% of the population.

My gut feeling is that the studies that pedophilia is a brain disorder are right. Think about it this way -- if you as a normal heterosexual male saw ANY naked child, would you be aroused? NO. So, people that are aroused by naked children are obviously organically different than you and I, and therefore, it's something quantifiable that could be tested for and possibly even medicated or surgically corrected.

As a parent, I hate pedophiles like I hate cancer. But I also hate rhetoric and faulty logic. smile

Thanks for being interested in having a reasonable discussion and being open to factual research on a highly-charged topic.
