- Studies have shown that teen sex

is the most searched form
of sex on the internet.

But this is not surprising,

because the age at which you
find other people attractive,

does not change, instead it expands.

When we are young we find children

of our own age attractive,

but as we grow older,
children under the age of 18,

do not become less attractive.

But pedophiles also find children

under the age of 18 attractive.

So what is the difference
between you and pedophiles?

(slow dramatic music)

(ambient electronic music)

- [Man] Here's the damn thing about it,

being a pedophile is wrong.

- And more details about the Canadian man

who's now at the heart
of a global manhunt,

including who he is, his alleged crimes,

and how he spent his
time half a world away.

- A New York congressman says,

"Michael Jackson was a pedophile

"who doesn't deserve all
the attention he's getting."

(speaking in foreign language)

- When is it considered pedophilia?

Under the age of 16, 14, 12?

- I think somebody's a pedophile

when he's attracted to
somebody who's under 18.

- [News Reporter] The
billionaire prime minister,

faces trial on charges of paying for sex

with Ruby when she was just 17.

- It's a diseased, psychotic person.

It's not even a human being.

I don't think it's a human being.

- When an adult has sex with a child,

it's called statutory rape.
- He was not charged.

- It's not called anything else but rape.

- Pedophiles are men older
than 30 who abuse our children.

- Online he calls himself mannbay2004.

He makes a date for sex with
a girl he believes to be 13.

Makes it sound like you would
do that with a 13-year-old.

- No, I wouldn't.

I wouldn't do that.

I wouldn't do that to her,
only unless if she was 18.

Or you know?

- A pedophile is somebody
who's older than 21,

and who feels attracted to
somebody who's younger than 15.

- I think somebody who's 21,

goes with somebody who's 15 or 16.

It's not the best thing,
but if somebody's 30

and he goes with somebody
who's 15, I think it's wrong.

- It is time now for another
chapter in the tawdry tale

titled the Pope and Pedophile Priests.

- Somebody who just likes children.

- A pedophile is an older man.

- Disgusting.

- It's an illness.

- Pervert.

- Something like priests.

- Mentally ill.

- Criminal.

- Psycho.

- Insane.

- Crazy.

- [Narrator] There is no standard
definition for pedophilia,

because the world cannot
agree on one definition.

The most confusing factor
is the major difference

in the legal age of consent.

The minimum age at which a person

is considered legal for sexual acts,

varies from nine years to 20 years.

(dramatic electronic music)

Some countries such as
Saudi Arabia and Oman,

do not even have a legal age of consent.

But to fully understand this,

we need to go back to the beginning.

We need to go back in
time to the Stone Age.

(gentle orchestral music)

Life was not easy in the Stone Age.

Due to the harsh environments
in the Paleolithic Era,

men and women did not live long.

The average lifespan for the
first modern humans was 33.

In fact, in the Neolithic Era,

between the Stone Age and the Bronze Age,

the average life expectancy
for the first modern humans,

was as low as 20 years.

This meant that early modern humans

did not have the luxury
to postpone having babies

like we have today.

Even though the life expectancy of humans

has doubled since the Stone Age,

natural selection favors
early reproduction,

because it is not logical
for humans to delay maturity.

Young females usually reach
sexual maturity at age 16,

and up to this very day,

this biological process on
average has not been delayed.

Anthropological studies conducted by

Napoleon Chagnon, on primitive societies,

suggest that the average man

find females around the age of 16,

sexually the most attractive.

Males have an instinctive
attraction towards females

who are at the earlier
stages of sexual maturity.

From an evolutionary standpoint,
this makes perfect sense.

A male who can gain access
to young virgin females,

can maximize his own
reproductive potential.

Males who evolved an
attraction to young females,

who were not already pregnant,

would have more offspring
than other male competitors.

(babies crying)

There has always been
a biological preference

towards pubescent
children and young adults,

and as time progressed, certain societies

would take this to the extreme.

(slow dramatic music)

- The word pedophilia is
composed of two Greek words.

On the one hand, Pais, which means child,

or generally youthful person,
dependent person even.

And Philia which means love, closeness,

being one's own.

So generally you could say it is

the love of children, or a child.

The Greeks and Romans practiced pederasty.

And that means that there
was an erotic relationship

between an adolescent
boy and an older man.

Pederasty did not only
occur between men and boys.

It was also well known
between women and girls.

Nonetheless, I think we can safely say

that most people associate with pederasty,

the relationship between
older men and boys.

Pederasty was not just widely practiced,

it was also widely recognized,

in particular in Ancient
Greece, as a very normal,

and even commendable social institution.

It was not odd, it was not wrong,

it was something that was part
of social life, more broadly.

Pederasty has existed in many cultures.

The ancient Greek case is
I think the best known,

but nonetheless, it was
practiced and normal

in many other cultures too.

For instance, in the Middle East and Asia.

(slow gentle music)

- If you look at the
church in the Middle Ages,

if you look at its view on sexuality,

that was quite conservative.

It hadn't always been that
way from the beginning.

Considering the practice of celibacy,

that wasn't there when the church started.

Popes, priests, they had their wives,

they had their children.

It's only when celibacy was
introduced in the Middle Ages

that it sparked an immense increase

of homosexuality in the church.

Catholic priests who
molested adults and boys,

were not homosexual by nature.

But as you know, place
any men in an environment

that is deprived of women,
and what will happen?

You will most likely
see homosexual activity.

Priests, right?

They are spiritual, yes.

But they are human as well.

And as humans, they are sexual beings.

Studies even have shown that
the sexual abuse of children

is not limited to the Catholic church.

Other churches and religions

are just as likely to abuse children.

- [Narrator] The majority of
priests who abuse children

cannot be diagnosed with true pedophilia.

Rather their actions involve hebophilia.

Hebophilia is defined as an attraction

towards adolescent children.

In technical terms, they are
called offending hebophiles.

If sex that involves adolescent
children is a moral issue,

then why is it common in religion?

Various religions contain
sexual activities with children.

Christianity, Islam, and
Judaism are no exception.

- Mary was at the age of 12 or 15

when she got her baby, Jesus Christ.

- Aisha was married
with the prophet at six,

and consummated the marriage at nine.

- [Narrator] Furthermore,
Bar Mitzvah is when

Jewish boys turn 13 and are seen as men.

Jewish girls have Bat Mitzvah.

When they turn 12, they are seen as women.

(gentle music)

Looking back in history, one
can see a sexual pattern.

The average age of pregnancy were 13,

and only in recent years
has that age gone up,

especially in western society.

Currently in western society,

the average age of pregnancy
is between 21 and 23.

- Okay, overall you can see that girls

start their puberty around age 10,

and finish around age 16.

Boys, they start their
puberty somewhat later,

and consequently also finish
their puberty somewhat later.

(gentle orchestral music)

- [Narrator] Western society has chosen 18

as the legal age at
which we become adults.

Despite the fact that women

usually reach maturity at age 16,

the legal age for western society is 18.

This was an obvious choice,

because at 18 men reach maturity.

To fully understand this
choice we must understand

the evolutionary differences
between men and women.

Women have many requirements
for their ideal man.

One of the most valued requirements

is that their ideal man is tall.

This is not a superficial choice.

Instead this is actually a
logical and instinctive decision.

Back in the Stone Age
a simple law applied.

Survival of the fittest.

This meant that only the
strongest humans survived.

Women preferred men who were big and tall.

Larger men could provide more food

and better protection
than smaller weaker men.

Natural selection favored bigger men.

That is why most men
are taller than women.

But this extended growth came at a price.

In order to become taller than women,

men needed two years extra to grow taller.

The extra energy put into growing,

also affected men's mental growth.

Instead of becoming
physically mature at age 16,

men are physically mature at age 18.

And are also later in
their mental maturity.

Today if you compare
16-year-old girls to boys,

you will realize that 16-year-old girls

are sexually and mentally far more mature

than 16-year-old boys.

Girls even start puberty
earlier than boys,

and therefore usually have sex earlier.

That is why girls are more
likely to want older partners.

Growing up they realize
that boys their own age

lag behind in maturity,
and keep this mindset.

That is why the average woman

is younger than her male partner.

Biologically, humans start experimenting

with sexual intercourse in puberty.

This usually begins around the age of 13.

However, western society
has pushed the legal age

of sexual maturity several years beyond

the physical age of sexual maturity,

and regards sex normal,

when humans reach the legal age of 18.

This choice is not based on morals.

Instead this choice is
mainly based on education.

Western society is fortunate enough

to offer most children an education.

High school education usually ends at 18.

That is why western society
does not favor underage sex.

Because it interferes with education.

Doe to the increased education,

the age of pregnancy has
risen in recent years.

(ambient electronic music)

- Being a mom is hard at
any age, believe me I know,

but imagine being a mom
twice before the age of 19.

A new study says that's the story

for one in five teenage girls in America.

- I think I was 12 when I first
started thinking about sex.

- More shocking still, fully half of girls

between 14 and 19 say they've had sex.

- I guess when I was 11 or 12,

I was starting to think
about sex, you know?

- Parents out there,

there's a worrisome trend
we need to tell you about.

More than 20% of
teenagers admit to sending

naked photos of themselves to other teens.

- I was around 11 when I
started thinking about sex.

- And teens and preteens are engaging

in sexual behavior at much earlier ages.

- Between the age of five and seven years.

- I was seven years old.

- Age of eight.

- Was eight or nine years.

- At the age of 11.

- At the age of 11.

- About 12, 13 years.

- I was 11 or 12 when I first
started thinking about sex.

- I guess all the,

everybody gasps when they
hear the 13-year-olds say

they're having sex, or the 12-year-olds,

but I guess we have removed ourselves

from what the world was
like when we were coming up.

- At age 16 most girls
are physically mature.

However that does not mean that

they're mentally ready to have sex.

And of course all sex
should be consensual.

(people chattering)

(ambient electronic music)

- [Narrator] Child sexuality is very

prominent in western media.

The age of 16 is embedded in our society.

Because at that age every man knows

that females are sexually mature.

(cat call whistle)

We do not need biology to
tell us that 16-year-olds

are portrayed in the
media as sexual beings.

Just look at MTV.

16 and Pregnant, Teen
Moms, or My Super Sweet 16,

form the fact that average
age of a fashion model is 16.

Western society considers
this behavior normal.

- If a girl wants to
start her high-fashion

modeling career at the age of 19,

I think that's a little bit too old

for most modeling agencies.

- [Narrator] However not every culture

has adopted the western
views on child sexuality.

Traditional cultures which have had

very little contact with western ideology,

still marry and bear
children in early puberty.

(ambient electronic music)

There are also many modern societies

that differ from the West.

In Japanese society, the
attraction to young teenage girls

is a widespread cultural phenomenon.

The term lolicon describes an
attraction to underage girls

or individuals with such an attraction.

Lolicon is very popular in
Japanese media and fashion.

Outside Japan, lolicon
mainly refers to a genre

of Japanese comics and animations

that depict girls sexually.

What makes lolicon so controversial

are the art forms, anime and manga.

Lolicon art has no actual age.

Just like the Disney characters
Peter Pan and Tinkerbell.

Nobody knows their real age.

The attraction to children can
be found in many societies,

but there is a limit.

There is no society in the world

that encourages sex with
children before puberty.

- My abuse started when I
was about five by my father.

He was never nice.

I have pictures of me as a baby,

and him holding me and I'm screaming.

I knew. I knew then that
he wasn't very nice.

I can remember the first time

that I remember him ever touching me.

He had me in his bed with him,

and I thought he was sleeping,

he just reached over and
started touching my chest.

I was shocked and made the
excuse for him that it was okay,

that he just must have
thought that I was my mom,

but now I think about that, and I think,

why would that be my first thought,

and not please stop or leave me alone?

I laid there until he was done

and left his bed and
went into my own room.

But soon touching wasn't enough
and he moved on to oral sex.

At the time my parents had a water bed,

and he would straddle my little neck

and make me do these awful adult things,

and I couldn't understand.

He'd kick me out of bed and tell me

that I'd better not get sick,

and I'd better not make
a mess on the carpet.

In the same year, those
things still were not enough,

and he moved on to actually raping me.

I can remember waking up
with him on top of me,

and my legs were asleep and hips hurt,

and he was making me
hold his cross necklace,

so that it didn't make any noise.

All these things happened
almost every night.

I got a break every now and then,

when my grandmother came into town,

or he went out of town for business.

My life was doing all these
things that my father wanted.

I became great at hiding,

and learning how to cover things up.

I can remember sneaking
the bloody underwear

to the trash in the morning.

I can still feel the cold
ground on my bare feet,

and I would just hope that the
door wouldn't make anybody,

wouldn't make noise and wake anybody up.

The same year, a neighbor
started abusing me.

Looking back I think my
father may have known

or even set it up, but at this point,

I'm not sure that it matters,

or if I'll ever know for sure.

The neighbor had this big red van,

and he was always taking us
somewhere on the weekends,

and we were at this little park.

I was collecting little
tadpoles and having so much fun.

It was beautiful outside.

He called me over to the
van and took off my shorts,

and he raped me in the back
of the van on the beanbags.

I can remember looking out the window

and seeing the beautiful
sky, and this huge tree,

big beautiful tree swaying in the breeze,

and I couldn't understand
why this was happening

on such a beautiful day.

He was done.

He told me to get
dressed and he just left.

I put my clothes on and
went back to the table

to get my bucket of tadpoles,

and he kicked them over and
started stepping on them.

Saying that next time I wouldn't fight.

My entire life I felt guilty

that I couldn't pick them up fast enough.

That I couldn't save them.

I didn't care about me, but I
couldn't save those tadpoles.

He was, when I think about it,

he was in his early 20s and I was five.

How much could I have really fought him?

Finally when I myself was in my early 20s,

I pressed charges on my father.

It was one of the hardest things
I've ever done in my life.

But at least it kept
his stepdaughter safe.

He took a plea bargain,

but still couldn't follow the rules,

so he spent almost a year in jail.

Not near enough for all that he did to me.

But I didn't do it for me.

I just did it to keep others safe.

I'm trying not to let my past define me.

Some days I lose, but I'm
winning more days than ever.

And soon I will be okay.

I'll find my way out of this,

and be the person that I was meant to be.

(ambient piano music)

- There is a difference between

the general public term of pedophilia

and the professional definition.

The public usually associates
pedophilia with someone

who is sexually attracted to a human being

below the legal age of the majority.

However, the clinical term
specifies the definition as

"A sexual preference for children,

"usually of pre-pubertal
or early pubertal age.

"And that for six months or more

"that person has acted on these urges,

"or suffers from distress as a result

"of having these feelings.

"The individual must also
be at least 16 years of age,

"and at least five years older
than the juvenile involved,"

to meet criteria for pedophilia.

- [Narrator] Pedophiles can be divided

into two main categories.

Exclusive pedophiles and
non-exclusive pedophiles.

Exclusive pedophiles are
only attracted to children,

and non-exclusive pedophiles

are attracted to children and adults.

Exclusive pedophiles are sometimes

referred to as true pedophiles.

They're only attracted to children.

Pedophiles are usually attracted
to a particular age range.

If the child is younger than four years,

it is called infantophilia,

usually zero to three years on average.

If the child is pre-pubertal
or early pubertal,

it is called pedophilia,

13 and younger on average.

If the child is adolescent,
it is called hebophilia,

roughly 12 to 16 years.

Even though there are differences

between the sexual attraction to minors,

only one term is mainly used by the media,

the word, pedophilia.

- Professionally, there's more difference

between an active pedophile,

or an active offending pedophile,

and a non offender,

a pedophile who has sexual
feelings for children,

but who doesn't engage in
sexual activities with children,

because he knows, or
she knows, it's wrong.

- Why do I think I'm a pedophile?

Well, I don't think it's really a choice,

because I think you are born like that,

but on the other hand,

I think a lot of people
have those feelings

and they don't accept
them, they suppress them.

(bicycle bell rings)

- We are one of a kind! (laughing)

- Firstly, I don't see
myself as 100% pedophile.

I also like people who
are above 18 years old.

And

I think that sexuality of

every human,

is a mix.

I'm a non-offending pedophile.

And the difference between offending

and non-offending is obvious.

People who are offending,
they are breaking the law.

(children laughing)

Well, about child pornography,

you have virtual child pornography,

manga and so on,

and sometimes I think that's attractive.

And it's not illegal, drawings,

but real child pornography is illegal,

and I am not watching that.

(somber ambient music)

- What I'm about to share
with you is startling.

A Delaware pediatrician is accused

of molesting his own patients.

Children, right there in his office.

Doctor Earl Bradley is
accused of molesting in fact

more than a hundred
children in his office,

some as young as three months old.

- He possibly is the nation's worst

sex offender, sex
molester, in the history.

That's according to documents,

when you look at some of the numbers here.

Here's his picture, just
take a look at this guy.

- Just that everything
has to be consensual.

(crowd jeering)
No coercion.

- Children cannot be consensual.

Do you understand that?

- Personally, I wouldn't do it.

I mean, I wouldn't go all the way to sex.

- How can a three-year-old be consensual?

- [Audience Member] Right.

- Tell me that.

- [Narrator] There is a
difference between a pedophile

who is attracted to 13-year-olds,

and a pedophile who is
attracted to babies.

Pedophiles who are attracted to babies

are called infantophiles.

Infantophilia is a
subcategory of pedophilia.

Infantophiles are usually attracted

to infants age zero to three.

Infantophilia is the most
extreme form of pedophilia.

(baby cooing)

Very little is known about them,

because they are a minority
amongst pedophiles.

- I don't think I'm a
pedophile, I know I am.

Whenever I see young children,
gender is irrelevant,

especially in vulnerable situations.

I feel more emotional.

I physically feel hotter.

I want to get intimate with them.

I want to know them on a personal level.

I want them.

It has really taken any
kind of love out of my life.

I can't be with the people that I love.

However, I'm happily married to a man.

There's no passion in the marriage,

but we do share a special bond.

It's like being best friends, but closer.

So being a pedophile is not to say

that I cannot have a proper
relationship, with an adult,

but what saddens me is that
I cannot imagine myself

ever having kids of my own.

I used to spend a lot of time
sitting at the playground

or in the bleachers at the pool,

and just watch children.

Eventually I asked myself,

do I really wanna do
this the rest of my life?

The answer was obvious.

I had to find something
else to occupy my time.

And that is when I took up cooking.

Whenever I feel an urge coming, I cook.

My husband loves my food,

so there's always somewhere
to dump my urges away.

He's a huge source of support to me.

I'm also a head chief
at a popular restaurant.

Every last Tuesday of the month,

we have a make-your-own-pizza night.

And there's always a large
amount of kids that come.

That is the day that I look
forward to the most each month.

For me personally, I feel that my life

is not much different from other adults,

apart from the fact that I cannot

love another person my age.

I am able to control my urges by cooking.

Those who cook well have lots of friends,

and many of my friends have children.

I invite them over for
dinner all the time.

I know it's customary for guests

to bring something like a bottle of wine,

but I tell my guests not to.

Unknowingly, what they are
bringing are their kids.

I feed them good food.

They bring their kids to play.

It's a fair trade to me.

Have I ever been in a relationship
with a minor as an adult?

Relationship? No.

But I do have a story.

This was several years ago.

A friend brought her
daughter over for lunch.

In the middle of our meal,
her daughter started bleeding.

So she ran to her car to get some napkins

while I took the girl to the bathroom.

There I took off her
skirt and her panties,

then I quickly took some
towels and started wiping up.

Eventually I summed up the
courage to put my finger in,

saying, "this will help
you stop the bleeding."

She nodded her head and I squirmed around.

I heard footsteps nearing behind me,

so I took my finger out
and continued wiping.

My friend stood in the doorway and said,

"Sorry for the mess."

Oh, no problem. No problem at all.

- So a new school year begins

and your teenager comes home talking about

how much he likes one of his teachers.

Your first thought might be,

good, I hope he learns something.

But the parents of one
14-year-old in Florida

were not happy about what
their son was learning

from a teacher in his school.

Her name was Debra Lafave,

and she's one in a
string of female teachers

who've admitted having sex
with underage male students.

- I don't believe that
female pedophiles exist,

because women have a less
aggressive sex drive.

- Does society treat this differently?

I mean, if this was a
man doing this to a boy,

or a man doing this to a girl,

would it be thought of in the same way?

Would the word relationship even be used?

- That's right. I mean,
sometimes I get confused.

Is it a crime story, is it a love story?

Was it consensual, was it a rape?

All of that seems to be
fodder for discussion.

We really don't know.

- I think female pedophiles exist,

because you have the classic stories

of a high school teacher that having

affair with boy student.

- 39-year-Old Anne
Knopf denied allegations

that she had sex with her daughter's ex

in the basement of her home,

while her husband and
children slept upstairs.

- You would have maybe fantasies

of you doing it with some hot soccer mom,

who was way older than you,

because, you know, she's fully developed.

And you'd be like, oh,
yeah, I would hit that.

- [Narrator] Females are
generally not associated

with pedophilia in the
eyes of modern society.

Women are seen as nurturing and caring,

and would never harm children.

If a man hugs a strange child,

people would generally
think he is a pervert.

But if a woman hugs a strange child,

people would think she is kind,

and even nurtures children
that are not her own.

There is a clear double standard

when it comes to pedophilia
between men and women.

This double standard has allowed many

offending female pedophiles
to go undetected.

Roughly 80% of the victims
of female pedophiles

are not believed.

Furthermore, boys are less
likely to report sexual abuse.

The media mainly talks about
female high school teachers

when it comes to female pedophilia.

However, high school teachers who have

sexual activities with
teenagers, are not pedophiles.

(somber ambient music)

If the child is in puberty
it is called hebophilia.

This means that most high school teachers

who have sex with children,
are offending hebophiles.

People who are attracted to
adults are called teleiophiles.

However, sexuality is not bound by boxes.

In reality many categories overlap.

Most humans are technically speaking,

a mix of hebophiles and teleiophiles.

Teleiophiles and hebophiles overlap.

There are 18-year-olds who look 16.

And there are 16-year-olds who look 18.

Hebophiles and pedophiles also overlap.

There are 15-year-olds who
look like 13-year-olds.

And vice versa.

Even teleiophiles and pedophiles overlap.

There are 15-year-olds
who look like adults.

And there are young adults
who look like children.

(gloomy music)

- Child pornography is
a visual representation

of children under the age of 18

engaged in sexual activity,

lewd conduct, or erotic behavior.

Many people believe that pedophiles

are the main cause of child pornography.

But in reality pedophiles are not

the only ones who use child pornography.

Hebophiles are the main
consumers of child pornography.

Teen sex is the most searched
form of sex on the internet.

But all not all teen sex is legal.

That's why child pornography has become

a three billion-dollar industry.

Three times more than the income

of all online social gaming combined.

Child pornography is not just creepy

basement videos with fat hairy men.

The statistics on child pornography

include videos, magazines, cable,

pay-per-view, CDs, and the internet.

It's also used to promote escort services,

sex clubs, merchandise, and phone sex.

Approximately 20% of
all internet pornography

involves children under the age of 18.

Seeing that almost all
men watch pornography,

and one-third of women,
means that many of us

have not only witnessed child pornography,

but have also contributed to the industry.

For example, sending
underage naked pictures

of yourself to your partner as a teenager.

The only time when it's not
considered child pornography,

is when those images are
used by the fashion industry.

Because when underaged fashion models

show their private parts,
it's considered artistic.

- [News Reporter] A
14-year-old New Jersey girl

has been accused of child pornography,

after posting nearly 30 explicit

nude pictures of herself on Myspace.com.

If convicted those charges could force her

to register as a sex offender.

- I think sexting is about sending

pictures of naked people to other people.

And I heard from a girlfriend of mine

that she got a picture
also from a guy naked.

- I think we've completely
lost our minds, Mike.

We're seeing an epidemic of these cases.

There's a case in Pennsylvania

of two girls at a slumber party,

teenagers in pajama bottoms and bra tops,

who took pictures of each other.

They're facing child porn charges.

Have we completely lost our minds, I mean?

- I think that they do it
because they think it's funny,

or to bully somebody.

- I've got five kids, let
me tell you something.

We need to protect kids
from themselves too.

Not just the predators,
but from themselves.

When these photographs go out,

they're out for good,
and they are worldwide,

available with the push of a button.

Who likes that?

Let me tell you.

Who likes that?

The predators,
- Predators, right.

- and the pornographers.

(gloomy ambient music)

(distant chatter)

- [Narrator] There are more
phones than people in the world.

Most of us use a mobile
service called SMS.

SMS stands for short message service.

The term sexting is a combination

of the words sex and texting,

and refers to a practice of
sending sexually explicit

photos electronically,
mainly by cellphone.

(cellphone rings)

Roughly 20% of teenagers

in western society admit to sexting.

That is more than 50 million teenagers

in western society alone.

The problem is that all
content generated by sexting

can be considered child pornography.

The teenager does not
even have to be naked

for it to be considered
sexting and child pornography.

Because child pornography
does not require nudity,

any sexual activity, lewd
conduct, or erotic behavior,

even when fully clothed,

can be considered child pornography.

The average teenager has no clue

that they're breaking the law by sexting.

But teenagers have been jailed,

given probation, and
even committed suicide,

because they could not deal with

the consequences of sexting.

In America, 36% of all sex offenders

are children themselves.

Some law enforcements
are easing the sentences

concerning child pornography
created by minors.

But sexting cannot be fully
legalized without rewriting

the entire definition
of child pornography.

That however would allow adult hebophiles

and pedophiles to abuse the system.

- There are the studies
showing that in pedophilia

there are a number of
neurobiological differences

between pedophiles and a heterosexual.

The idea is that already when

the fetus is in the womb,

that there's certain hormonal processes

that predispose a person

to develop pedophilic sexual interests.

- I think the main causes as for

sexual orientation in general,

the interaction between sex
hormones and developing brain,

which is determined
both by genetic factors

and environmental factors.

- On the other hand there is the view that

pedophilia is also related to
early childhood experiences

of being physically abused,
and/or sexually abused.

And the idea is that if
you are abused as a child,

you learn that

that is a normal way of
interacting with adults.

So that's like an imprint in your mind.

You think that's normal.

So that's why that person
who has those experiences

may develop sexual
preferences for children

himself or herself,

and act on those.

(gentle ambient music)

- [Narrator] All researchers agree

that true pedophilia is
not a conscious choice.

Just like being homosexual
or heterosexual.

The main difference of true pedophilia,

also known as exclusive pedophilia,

starts off with problems
in sexual development.

Unlike most people who have a normal

sexual development into adulthood,

a pedophile's sexual
development is blocked.

For example, when they are 13,

they prefer 13-year-old children.

But when they are 20,

they still prefer 13-year-old children.

And even when they are older,

they will continue to
prefer 13-year-old children.

(gloomy piano music)

- There is no cure for pedophilia.

You can't change the
deviant sexual preference.

What you can do, is two things.

One, you can intervene at
the level of the sex drive.

So there are pharmacological

agents that really decrease

the libido of the person, so that means,

you stop their sexual activity completely,

also called chemical castration.

That's one option, but this
type of treatment has many

harmful side effects.

You can think about osteoporosis,

I mean serious osteoporosis,

depression, feminization.

So in the long term this type
of treatment is not an option.

The second possibility is
psychological treatment.

That means you work on

the psychological problems

that actually make the person

act out their pedophilic interests.

So you can think about,
maybe the person has the idea

that it's okay to have sex with children.

That children are not harmed by it.

That they actually may benefit from it.

That it's a kind of sex education.

Well, these types of cognitive distortions

need to be diminished, need
to be reduced in treatment.

Also, a lot of pedophiles

lack empathy, lack insight

into what their behavior
does to the children.

So I'm talking here of course about

pedophiles who act on
their sexual preference.

These types of treatments are necessary,

and are generally quite effective

in reducing the risk of a pedophile,

again, abusing children.

(soft ambient music)

- I don't think that pedophilia
will become accepted,

because like I said, the
public associate pedophilia

with active sexual relationships

between adults and
children, and condemn this.

So I don't think it will be accepted.

- Yes, I think ultimately
pedophilia will be accepted.

Maybe it'll take a hundred more years.

It's just like homosexuality.

In the DSM-II that came out in the 1950s,

homosexuality was,

was, yeah,

was like listed as a mental disorder.

Well, it's not anymore.

And I think, yeah, it can happen that

we can consider this sexual preference

as a natural variation.

And of course we still
will need to make sure

that a pedophile doesn't act
on those sexual preferences.

But I think the fact that
the person has a preference,

I think we will arrive at a point in time

where that's just a
given, considered a given.

- So at one hand I think that

pedophilia will never be accepted,

because it involves damage of children.

But we should also remember that

many of the people who are focusing

their sexual orientation towards children,

can keep their impulses in such a way

that they don't damage children.

- [Narrator] Pedophilia is
an orientation not an action.

We cannot condemn an orientation,

but we can condemn an action.

Having sex with young
children before puberty

will never become accepted
because it damages children.

However, sexual relations between

adults and adolescent children

might become more accepted
by modern society.

As strange as this may sound,

this future development is
not new for western society.

If we look at the past,

we can see that western society

treated sexuality completely different.

- The Greeks and Romans
practiced pederasty.

And particularly in Ancient Greece,

it was a very well known
social institution.

And that would typically
involve a relationship

between an older man and a younger boy.

However, a younger boy would not mean

a real child as we would understand it.

A boy in a homoerotic
relationship in Ancient Greece

would be an adolescent, so in his puberty.

So if we were to translate this behavior

in Ancient Greece into modern times,

of modern sexuology,

we would rather call it hebophilia.

- [Narrator] Hebophilia is not
listed as a mental disorder.

Because finding teenagers
attractive is normal.

Children before puberty
cannot understand lust,

but children in puberty can.

However, we must remember that teenagers

are still in sexual development.

The larger the age difference
between adults and teenagers,

the more chance there is
for an imbalance of power.

Sex should always be
consensual, no matter what age.

(gentle piano music)

For most of us, the age of
attraction does not change.

Instead it expands.

This means that the very first people

who we find attractive

will remain in our age of attraction.

Usually this begins in early puberty.

When we pass the age of 18,

we do not automatically remove children

under the age of 18 from
our age of attraction.

We are not automatically programmed

to adjust our age of attraction

to fit the legal age of the majority.

Because 18 is just a number.
