They are not akin to boiling pots of water that can overflow at anytime. Most of these people fall in love with young people the same way as adults who fall in love with other adults. Then later in the relationship, sex becomes relevant. -These terms should not be used to denote actual sexual activities between adults and younger people, because most people with one of these never actually engage in them, and those who do often lack chronophilic attractions. 4 Citations: 1.

A man or a woman who is sexually attracted to children or under-age people. Pedophilia is a mental disorder, rather than a sexual orientation or a personal sexual choice. Generally, a man or a woman cannot decide to be sexually attracted to children or not, however they are responsible for handling their attraction responsibly and not engaging any child or under-age person in sexual activity. Pedophilia is not commonly associated with men that are attracted to very attractive, physically mature and extremely well-developed teenage girls, as that is just considered attraction for the sake of being attracted to someone young and good-looking. This is not always the case, though.
