Pedophilia- a psychological disorder related to touch

The only reason why an adult would establish sexual relations with children is the desire of that adult to do so. Adolescents and adults with such a desire are called ‘Pedophiles’ and this disorder in them is called as ‘Pedophilia.’
Pedophilia is a serious mental disorder. 88% of sexually abused children are violated by the pedophiles.
Pedophilia is a well known disorder. An American journal of psychology called as ‘Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder’ has defined pedophilia based on the following traits in an individual-

• Feeling sexual attraction for one or many pre adolescents (normally towards children of age 13 years and below) or dreaming about such sexual relations again and again or actually having such sexual relations with children in this age
• Getting sexually excited towards children for at least a period of 6 months, or having sexual thoughts about them or getting mentally involved in the children in this age group
• Minimum 16 years of age
• Minimum age difference between the individual with pedophile tendencies and the child should be 5 years

Pedophiles do not have any specific physical traits such as bad looks, having a handicap and so on and hence to identify such people it is important to understand their behaviour.
Pedophiles exhibit certain specific behavioural traits.

• Easy access to children
• Designing their room or home in a way that would attract children
• Many small children as friends and colleagues
• The skill to identify children who will fall prey
• Skill to use children for their vested interests
• Planned, repetitive and risky attempts
• Clicking photos of children
• Showing vulgar and cheap things to children
• Collection of cheap and vulgar material created using children
• Exploitation of many.
