Specializes in Clinical Psychology

If you have a: sexual attraction to pre-pubescent children and act on it, it is called pedophilia. Is this what you mean or do you mean that you were sexually abused? In either case, please go to a clinical psychologist who specializes in abuse. If you are a pedophile, you can be helped to manage/contain it, but presently we see no way to completely eliminate the attraction. Peace and good health.
