Perhaps pedophilia is an epigenetic phenomenon, passed down through the proteins that tell our DNA what genes to turn off and turn on. Certain types of characteristics or results of events, such as a famine, tend to affect the grandchildren, but not the children of the original generation. I learned this on the Science Channel, as well as reading about it, by the way. I've heard other people note from observation that child molesting tends skip generations. In about 50 years, the sex offender registry will have enough data for a retrospective longitudinal study that may prove this hypothesis. Of course, I hope that the registry (gag) is long gone by then after being recognized as the institutionalized tool of bigotry that it is.

So, Hearts, it is quite possible that this is the way it occurs. Unfortunately, our husbands' genes got the wrong message.
