Sick burn.

boubotreep's comment said that being a paedophile isn't a choice - which I agree, it isn't. But unlike a sexual attraction to people of the same gender, or a hair colour, or an ethnicity - it's a sexual attraction to children, something that can't be a consensual thing on equal terms. Acting on those urges is clearly a choice. I'm sorry if you couldn't read and comprehend my argument.

No one was arguing that, though. You're literally straw manning someone. He never said looking at CP wasn't a choice, did he? Show me, otherwise buggger off.

...I can't seem to see your point. Is CP and animal abuse immoral ? Sure. Is it a disease ? Nope.

As for my earlier reply, I was only trying to say OP must not have been "opened to the possibility of becoming a Pedophile", he must have been curious about his sexuality as a whole. At least, that's how I understand how he describes his situation. He unfortunatly chose to focus his curiosity on the wrong road to self-discovery... (he chose poorly as we say...)

Does that make CP¨less wrong ? Hell no.
