How do you stop your pedophile urges?

Speak with your family Doctor and request a referral.

Pedophilia is classified as a sexual orientation by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition. It is not possible to stop a pedophilic individual from being attracted to children. If you have difficulty with the feeling of being attracted to children, or otherwise feel that something is wrong with you because of it, then you may benefit from seeking a therapist whose expertise lies in pedophilia. Otherwise, it may be beneficial to find others with pedophilia who can be supportive.
