Now, as for treatments for pedophilia there are various accepted treatments, in the medical world. The first one is a basic 5 step program:

There are many factors which researches believe have a role in the causes of pedophilia. There is some evidence that pedophilia may run in families, but that hasn't been unequivocally proven. Another reason which is linked to pedophilia is abnormalities in male sexual hormones or the brain chemical "serotonin". Again, this has been hypothesized, and hasn't been totally proven. Twenty years ago or so, it was believed that children, who were sexually abused, grew up to be abusers themselves. Nowadays, research has proven that there is no evidence that children who are abused are more likely to sexually abuse a child later in life. (http://www.geocities.com/ericw_970/cause.html)

Stage 1: The first stage is acceptance. You must accept that you have a problem. Denying this stage, will not change your ways. You must want to get help without somebody else pushing you to get it. You must have the will power to complete the process, as it isn't easy, and can be very long.

Many People are also are misinformed in the mindset of a pedophile. They give the impression that they think that a pedophile forces children to have sex with them, and that they don’t care about the children except for their own sexual purposes, but this is most certainly not true. In a majority of pedophilic cases, not only does the pedophile truly love the child he feels that he is doing the child a favor by having sex with them They do not advocate the use of force or coercion on kids to have sex with them. They feel that sex is not harmful for children or adults, provided it is done honestly, lovingly, and with good intentions and consent. A pedophile realizes that a child may say "no" to sex, and that same child can say "yes" to it. In no way does a true pedophile advocate his or her sexual needs on a child. Pedophiles respect their child’s wishes. It is also important to note that more often than not the offender feels he is not doing anything wrong, by having sex with children, that is, besides for the law against it. Pedophiles believe in "empowerment" of children. By this, they mean that children can control what they do by themselves, and adults should have no say in the matter. The media has made pedophiles out to be perverts imposing their will on children. The truth is, to a pedophile, the very idea of this is very wrong. Unlike other adults who do not respect children wants, pedophiles believe children have a say in their lives, and a voice. They accept that children are sexual beings. They realize that even infant boys have erections and baby girls lubricate. Pedophiles believe that society has no right to deny a child sexual activity in a manner he or she chooses. And the child can make a choice for themselves. To a pedophile it is not about their own sexual pleasure or forcing sexual activity on children by taking advantage of their innocence, they feel it is about giving the child pleasure. A child may decide to engage in sex with another kid as a part of general experimentation. If the child and his/her partner chooses this freely and without force, there is no problem with it in the eyes of a pedophile. If that same child desires sex with an adult, if it is non-abusive then that is fine as well, provided both parties consent. Children can have all kinds of loving relationships with adults. Sometimes it includes sex, in other cases it does not. According to pedophiles an adult who has sex with a child is not "betraying his/her trust", he/she is usually (providing it is not a non abusive relationship) enhancing the bond between them, in much the same way that sex makes the relationship between adults stronger. What pedophiles believe is that children should not be made to feel guilt over honest and positive sexual activity. They should be allowed to express themselves this way, being that it is
