You've heard of survival of the fittest before, can you see how being attracted to young girls could be selected for? vs being attracted to coconuts or the elderly?

Thought experiment: If pedophilia is genetic, and some men simply are naturally (anything that happens in the natural world can be said to be "natural", btw) sexually and emotionally attracted to young children (the existence of NAMBLA makes this likely), how much of a nightmarish existence would that be for someone who is an otherwise moral, ethical, law-abiding citizen?
For some reason, the whole nature/nurture thing with sexual "deviancy" is still under debate, but the simple fact is that evolution isn't perfect and has a wide spectrum of behavioral outcomes. Some dudes want to fuck kids. There's nothing wrong with that, really -- we haven't invented ThoughtCrime yet. It is only wrong if they ACT on these desires, for obvious reasons.
So, how many pedophiles are there out there who absolutely refuse to partake (think of a vampire not wanting to kill or hurt humans). What must that be like?
Alternatively, what must it have been like to have been gay throughout history and in love with another gay person, knowing you could never, EVER act on it?
Man.
