Is being a pedo a choice?

Doctors and Psychologists say sexual preferences aren't achoice.

Answer:
The orientation itself is not a choice.

You can choose whether or not to act on your orientation. That is a choice.
i think the inclination towards pedophilia stems from deep psychological issues/possibly trauma, but acting on such urges is certainly a choice (and a decidedly mislead one at that!!).
It's a mental illness.
I think the current theory is that "true" pedophilia is not a choice. It is a sexual orientation. However, some individuals who sexually abuse children are not pedophiles. They are "opportunistic" abusers - individuals who take advantage of a child as an outlet for their sexual needs, but who aren't primarily oriented toward children. For those individuals, it is a choice.
I think that some times it is caused by psychological issues, or being abused them selves. How ever, I think like with any other sexual preference/fetish, some times it is not a choice. It is just something they enjoy, as disturbing as it is to every one else.
No, because the child cannot choose to engage in sexual activity.... The child is violated..
but there should be preferences
