How to Deal With Pedophilia

How to Deal With Pedophilia. A pedophile is a person who gets more enjoyment out of sexual activities with children than with adults. The number of pedophiles in this country is unknown, as many do not practice pedophilia, but fulfill their needs through fantasy in their own homes. Certain personality traits are common among pedophiles, but one's personality traits and behavior should be considered in combination before one is suspected of pedophilia. Here are some tips for dealing with pedophilia.
