Pedophilia is not a “sexual orientation,” and erroneous use of that phrase will be corrected soon in its new manual on mental illnesses, the American Psychiatric Association said Thursday.

Bull. Your 'technically correct' is nothing more than psycho-babble. PERIOD.
According to the American Psychological Association, sexual orientation "also refers to a person's sense of identity based on those attractions, related behaviors, and membership in a community of others who share those attractions"
Sexual orientation is an enduring pattern of romantic or sexual attraction (or a combination of these) to persons of the opposite sex or gender, the same sex or gender, or to both sexes or more than one gender. These attractions are generally subsumed under heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality,[1][2] while asexuality (the lack of sexual attraction to others) is sometimes identified as the fourth category

WTH did I just read?
Is there even such a thing as a pedophile that doesn't act on his sexual needs.
That's the first I've ever heard of it. Kind of hard to believe really.

Your point?
What part of psycho-babble don't you get?
I feel sorry for all the dupes that studied/wasted their time with the subject. The same bunch that label non-conformity as a psychological disorder. They decide what conformity and non-conformity is...
