Yes it's important to distinguish between thoughts and actions.

While I don't think that people have much choice about being a pedo, they do have the choice to act on it or not.

Sex is a very basic urge in us, what percentage of the population could actually go celibate? The rest have an attraction they can't act out on, that will either cause all kinds of psychological problems, or will build up until they DO act out and cause harm to others. So it's not as simple as "don't do it", that's like telling you "don't sleep with any girls again ever", far easier said than done.
