Pedophile is defined as a psychiatric disorder in adults or late adolescents (persons age 16 or older) typically characterized by a primary or exclusive sexual interest in prepubescent children (generally age 13 years or younger, though onset of puberty may vary). The child must be at least five years younger in the case of adolescent pedophiles (16 or older) to be termed pedophilia. The term has a range of definitions, as found in psychiatry, psychology, the vernacular, and law enforcement.

Is it ok to 'have these thoughts' and not act on them, that may be debated in a moral stance.
Anything other than 'possibly' entertaining these thoughts I personally would deem of psychological detriment, immoral, and perhaps illegal.
