Preferred term
pedophilia
Definition
- Pedophilia, a sexual preference for prepubescent children, appears early in life, is stable over time, and directs the person's sexuality with regard to thoughts, fantasies, urges, arousal, and behavior. Pedophilia can be diagnosed on the basis of self-report, sexual history, and (among men) penile responses. [Source: Encyclopedia of Psychology and Law; Pedophilia]
