> Pedophilia is just another sexual orientation.

No, it is a mental illness. I claim that there are zero pedophiles who were not subject to heavy abuse as children, and that this abuse was almost certainly sexual.

(I'm talking about attraction to young children in particular; there's a world of difference between 2 and 16 years old.)

Speaking from personal experience, your claim is certainly wrong. There are pedophiles who were not themselves abused as children.

Yet it is true that pedophiles often come in families with a history of pedophilia.

You absolutely and completely misunderstand the nature of my personal experiences. To share the example that I was specifically thinking of there, my first girlfriend's father did not come from a family with any history of abuse, yet he sexually abused her as soon as she hit puberty.
