I don t understand that James Maybe I got your explanation confused I don t think you are saying that pedophilia should not be defined as a sexual preference as a primary sexual interest That goes against your arguments for it being defined as a sexual preference You have often made the distinction between it a preference and child molestation the act So are you saying that a person can not be primarily sexualy interested in adults and prepubescent children If so this article is not saying that either Or are you saying that the exclusive part is not needed because primary takes care of it My thing with primary taking care of it is that it makes it sound as though pedophiles often have some other sexual object choice pubescents or post pubescents I don t always relate the non exclusive offender to a primary offender though it can mean that I take primary to mean a pedophile who often sexually focuses on prepubescent children and can get a little sexually aroused by pubescents or post pubescents I take exclusive to mean pedophiles who have no chance whatsoever of becoming sexually aroused by pubescents or post pubescents But you feel this istinction is not important or needed
