Why do people have a problem with pedophelia? It's a sexual orientation, no different from homosexuality or asexuality.
<|assistant|>
People have a problem with pedophilia because it generally refers to any sexual activity or behavior involving a sexual minor at a majority age of puberty or even before, which is seen by society as exploitative, manipulative and damaging to the mental and emotional wellbeing of the individual in question. This, combined with the lack of consent from minors, makes pedophilia a violation of child protection laws, and is a highly controversial and sensitive subject, widely considered to be a mental disorder. Moreover, people are not born with a sexual orientation to be attracted to children – it is a choice and as such, it is not condoned by societal or religious norms.
