Pedos work on two dynamics, mental fetish and power dynamics.

The fetish side I put under a mental illness as to act on it is the sickness, like having a fetish for asphyxiation and it leading to your death. So long as it's managed (staying the fuck away from kids, not viewing CP etc) then it can be managed as a mental disorder.

The Power side is just that, people get off on having power over others and what's more powerful than taking an innocent child that completely trusts you abd corrupting then for your pleasure? Us NORMAL people would put anything else or enter a dom/sub relationship with a consenting adult but these shitstains get off on abusing kids and unfortunately many of these oxygen wasters occupy high positions of power in society. To both get away with it and gain access to kids.
