You meant to write "fantasizing about pedophilia is immoral", but you'd still have to reduce that statement to exclude stuff like involuntary thoughts and POCD, while also weighing the moral agency of someone not having any other outlets and their only alternative being becoming de-facto asexual.

>I agree with the other anon that it is a sickness though,I never said that pedophilia is a sickness.
The DSM-V recognizes the difference between pedophilic disorder ('sickness') and pedophilic sexual preference ('orientation'), while also explicitly recognizing that you can have the latter without the former.
