how common is pedophilia in animals? i know there are bonobo chimps who will have sex with pre-pubescent chimps, would it be valid to say because it occurs in nature, its natural/acceptable for humans to feel/act this way too?

zoologicallyobsessed:

There is no such thing as pedophilia in animals because it is a 

psychiatric disorder and there’s no evidence having sole or primary attraction to pre-adult members of their species. 

And what you’ve purposely left out is that this behaviour in bonobos was observed only between individuals in their late juvenile/ early adolescent periods in response to changes in social circumstances. [1]

So nice try because I know full well this is an attempt to compare homosexual behaviour and preference in animals to pedophilia. Homosexual preferences and behaviours are found across all taxa and have a range of adaptive benefits, especially in social species such as primates, unlike juvenile sexual behaviour that has been found only in bonobos. 

Straight people just seem to be projecting your pedophilia comparisons on to us. So die mad about it.
