That seems to be a fairly large unsubstantiated generalisation. There seems to be a number of motivations for any facet of human sexuality.
Besides, as has been made clear n times before, paedophilia doesn't imply that someone "does" anything. One imagines you can be attracted to children or whatever else without acting on the impulse. It's quite possible that if we all had Star Trek style holodecks that a lot more people would have sex with very young looking holograms than currently have sex with children now.
It seems easier if we say "child molestors" = people who molest children and "paedophiles" = people who are sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children. Discussing someone who has sex with a 16 year old in the same discussion as someone who has sex with an 8 year old seems pretty stupid imo. People cannot necessarily control the desires they have, but they damn well better be able to control their actions. If not then they need urgent psychiatric help.
