Scenario:
Say you have a neighbor who's a pedophile. He has a very strong attraction to little kids and he's fully aware that kids can't consent and trying to pursue them is wrong, so he holds his sexual feelings back. But, he can't help his attraction to kids and no matter how hard he tries, he just does not find people his own age attractive. He's tried being in a relationship with a girl his age, but it didn't work as the guy just wasn't happy. So now he lives alone and depressed with a romantic and sexual appetite he can never satisfy because it's wrong.
Should I feel bad for this guy?
