Description

Pedophilic disorder is characterised by a sustained, focused, and intense pattern of sexual arousal—as manifested by persistent sexual thoughts, fantasies, urges, or behaviours—involving pre-pubertal children.

This diagnosis does not apply to sexual behaviours among pre- or post-pubertal children with peers who are close in age.
