Do you think children are inferior to adults and thus incapable of participating in sexual activity with them in a safe way, and if so, do you believe that also necessarily renders pedophilic attractions problematic?

I'm not sure why I'm being asked about children, I've never made any comments relating to them, but I don't believe they're inferior, simply underdeveloped. I don't necessarily agree that there's a set age where they are developed enough for sexual activity, but I can't think of any other way to really delineate when it's okay. This does mean I think safe sexual interactions with them are impossible. This, however, doesn't make the attraction itself problematic. An attraction can only be harmful if acted on. I know that the attraction can not be changed. Anyone attracted to children should have access to and get any help they need to avoid acting on it and actually harming children.
