In this article, I address the question of whether pedophilia in men can be construed as a male sexual orientation, and the implications for thinking of it in this way for scientific research, clinical practice, and public policy. I begin by defining pedophilia and sexual orientation, and then compare pedophilia (as a potential sexual orientation with regard to age) to sexual orientations with regard to gender (heterosexuality, bisexuality, and homosexuality), on the bases of age of onset, correlations with sexual and romantic behavior, and stability over time. I conclude with comments about the potential social and legal implications of conceptualizing pedophilia as a type of sexual orientation in males.
在本文中，我探讨了男性恋童癖是否可以被视为一种男性性取向，以及这种观点对科学研究、临床实践和公共政策的影响。我首先定义了恋童癖和性取向，然后根据发病年龄、与性行为和浪漫行为的相关性以及随时间的稳定性，将恋童癖（作为与年龄有关的潜在性取向）与性别（异性恋、双性恋和同性恋）的性取向进行比较。最后，我对将男性恋童癖概念化为一种性取向的潜在社会和法律影响发表了评论。
