pedophile

Literally someone who likes children, however it is normally used in quite a different sense of a adult who likes sexual activity with children. The term is often used for an adult who likes sex with teenagers, particularly those below the legal age of consent. In gay chat rooms, pedophile refers to any gay adult who talks to a teenager. When I use the term on my website I mean people who like sex with prepubescent children. Usually pedophiles are heterosexual males who also like sex with children of either gender.

Why is that gay pedophiles are so much rarer than heterosexual ones? What are some of the feminine traits that turn on a straight male:

shorter stature.
smooth skin.
a fat layer under the skin that makes the skin feel soft.
docility.
idiocy. Straight males want to be more intelligent than their partner, e.g. Marilyn Monroe dumb blonde.
adoring.
high pitched voice.

What are some of the masculine traits that turn on a gay male:

big penis.
hard muscular body.
deep resonant voice.
athletic prowess.
tall.

Which profile does a child, male or female most closely fit? The female. It is not that big a jump for a heterosexual male to be attracted to a child. The child (male or female) is giving out many of the same sexual attractiveness signals adult women do.

Conservative Christians love to spread the lie that all gays are pedophiles. The very opposite is true. Gays are statistically less likely to be pedophiles than heterosexuals. The Journal the American Academy of Pediatrics says that 98% of molested males and 99.6% of molested females are the victims of heterosexuals. This is as you might expect since children of either gender look, behave and sound more like adult females than adult males.
