also preferences. Pedophiles, including filiphiles and hebephiles, prefer children over adults. Zoophiles prefer animals over humans. Those are preferences and once a person reaches the point of qualifying for those conditions, you don't cure them. So even though we don't group heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality with them as perversions (a.k.a. sexual deviances, a.k.a. paraphilias), they are all preferences and are very similar in the degrees to which they are and aren't flexible. You don't cure pedophilia any more easily than you cure heterosexuality.
