Pedophilia -

Pedophilia or paedophilia (Commonwealth usage) is the primary or exclusive sexual attraction by adults to prepubescent children. A person with this attraction is called a pedophile or paedophile. [Doesn't this sound familiar?]

The word comes from the Greek paidophilia (παιδοφιλία): pais (παις, "child") and philia (φιλία, "love, friendship"). [omg somebody's name is Greek what a coincidence!]

The cause or causes of pedophilia are not well understood. German psychologist Michael Griesemer theorizes that pedophiles miss the switch of sexual interest from prepubescent to postpubescent partners (so-called sex-dimorphic maturation of the frontal brain) that usually occurs with the onset of puberty, so that pedophilia is a developmental disability [<-- horrors!]
