>>5322498A common misconception is that what attracts pedophiles about children is the feeling that we can dominate the child, that we get off on the idea of overpowering an innocent child, of basicallyrapinghim or her. The reality, though, is that this is not true, or at least not any more true than it is for people attracted to adults.Rape fantasieshappen to be more common than most people think, and there is absolutely no evidence that they are more present in pedophiles than they are in the general population. So any assumption that pedophiles—by definition—get turned on by the thought of raping children is simply unfounded, or pureslander.
