What is the precise cause or causes of pedophilia?!
Question: My personal feeling on that is that it has to do with a certain brain anomally, much like when some one is born gay or cross gendered. It has been documented that pediphiles can not be rehabed, just as you can not change a gay person to a straight person, and you can't "fix" a cross gender. Just my take on it.

Pedophilia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Pedophilia or paedophilia (see spelling differences) is the primary or exclusive sexual attraction by adults to prepubescent youths. A person with this attraction is called a pedophile or paedophile.[1] The ICD-10 and DSM IV, which are standard medical diagnosis manuals, currently describe pedophilia as a paraphilia and mental disorder of adults or older youths, if it causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
The term pedophile is also used colloquially to denote an adult who is sexually attracted to adolescents or youths below the local age of consent,[2] as well as those accused or convicted of child sexual abuse or child pornography related offences.
