Is pedophilia natural?
Is pedophilia natural? The answer is yes as far as heterosexual pubescent attraction is concerned (heterosexual hebephilia). The current legal definition of pedophillia incorrectly includes heterosexual hebephillia. Hebephillia is the attraction to people who’ve started puberty.
““Hebephilia” is a simply terrible idea. The basic issue is that sexual attraction to pubescent youngsters is not the slightest bit abnormal or unusual. Until recently, the age of consent was age 13 years in most parts of the world (including the United Statse) and it remains 14 in many places. Evolution has programmed humans to lust for pubescent youngsters—our ancestors did not get to live long enough to have the luxury of delaying reproduction.
For hundreds of thousands of years, sex followed closely behind puberty. Only recently has society chosen to protect the moratorium of adolescence and to declare as inappropriate and illegal a sexual interest in the pubescent. This is a wonderful idea, but you can’t change human nature by fiat. Surveys show that sexual interest in pubescent youngsters remains very common and anyone who doubts the numbers should do a study of Calvin Klein ads.”

Biologically mammals seem to start mating when they reach puberty. It seems that female mammals start mating when they reach puberty while males usually start mating at a much later age because they have to compete to mate. http://egomoral.com/pedophilia-is-dominant-in-mammals/
It’s safe to say that hebephilia and pedophilia in mammals, including human, stem from this dominant-older-male paired with pubescent-female nature. The modern definition of pedophilia contradicts biology, history and is actually out dated liberal feminist ideology.See Feminism and age of consent laws in modern culture
General history regarding the age of concent
Historically, the age of consent for a sexual union has been determined by tribal custom or has been a matter for families to decide. In most cases, this has coincided with signs of puberty: menstruation for a woman and pubic hair for a man.[1] In Ancient Rome, it was very common for girls to marry and have children shortly after the onset of puberty.
