People with the disorder are often referred to as pedophiles.

Helmut Kentler was a German psychologist, sexologist and professor of social education at the University of Hannover. From the late 1960s until the early 1990s, with the authorization and financial support of the Berlin Senate, Kentler placed several neglected youth aged 13 to 15 as foster children in the homes of single pedophile fathers. Kentler believed pedophiles would make suitable foster parents, and that any sexual contact would be relatively harmless, if not physically forced. This project was later dubbed the "Kentler Experiment" or the "Kentler Project." Kentler later changed his mind on pedophiles having sexual contact with children, and described pedophilia as a "sexual disorder".
In the summer of 1993, the International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA) gained consultative status on the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) as a non-governmental-organization, joining 3,000 organisations throughout the world. However, that status was suspended in 1994 after a campaign led by conservative US senator Jesse Helms focusing on the membership in ILGA of the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) and other pro-pedophilia groups. Helms introduced a bill to cut funding to the United Nations unless it could certify that it did not grant any official status to "any organization which promotes, condones or seeks the legalization of pedophilia"; it was unanimously approved by the senate. NAMBLA had been an ILGA member for approximately 15 years. According to Hans Hjerpekjon, then secretary-general of ILGA, NAMBLA had joined the group early in its history when it was loosely organized and lacked any formal admission criteria, with its inclusion becoming a source of increasing discomfort over the years. Despite ILGA adopting a resolution condemning pedophilia in 1990, the organizations in question had never resigned their membership.
