I agree wholeheartedly with your post, but I do want to clarify that only pedophilia is a disorder. Ephebophilia is an attraction to older teens and is not recognized as a disorder because sexual attraction to people who are physically mature is normal. Acting on that attraction as a significantly older person is predatory, but unrelated to any specific mental diagnosis that I’m aware of.
