Can pedophiles be cured?

Answer:
They cannot be "cured" in the traditional sense. Pedophilia is a sexuality, and that cannot be changed.

However, there are several therapies which Pedophiles can undergo which are designed to neutralise their sexual urges. One is chemical treatment, designed to physically neuter the sex drive, and another is traditional psychotherapy.

Success rates can vary.
