Wrong. There is nothing wrong or harmful about pedophilia.

Children have a sexuality and expressing this sexuality with adults is not harmful. Children are not harmed by masturbating. Children are not harmed by engaging in sexual play with other children. Children are also not harmed by engaging in sex play with adults. Children have been free to engage sexually with adults in cultures all across the world throughout history and they were unharmed by it, because sex is something which is pleasurable and positive, not something traumatizing and degrading.

Child sexual abuse theory is pseudoscientific horseshit and there has never been any proof that consensual sexual relationships cause psychological harm. It shouldn't even be taken seriously in polite society. Every low quality study which makes this claim uses clinical samples, doesn't control for confounding factors, and most importantly, they don't account for whether or not the experience was consensual. Essentially they use victims of incestuous child rape to argue that children who have consensual sexual experiences with adults will be harmed.
