Talk:Pedophilia

I was wondering, when it says "The person has acted on these urges, or the sexual urges or fantasies cause marked distress or interpersonal difficulty", what would count as acting on those urges? Would masturbation count? Leucosticte (talk) 01:19, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

I think it is like the bible or the predictions of Nostradamus, it's open to individual interpretation. --Etenne (talk) 01:52, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
