You're right beeing a pedophile means that the thought of sexual action with minors is turning you on.
Actually that's not correct. It's not "minors", it's "girls (or boys) before their puberty".
For example being sexually attracted to a 16 year old girl does not make you being a pedophile, because in this age she most probably would not be before her puberty, but in most countries in the world she still would be a minor (even though she would be, at least in many countries in the world, already in an age of consent).
On the other hand being sexually attracted to an 8 year old girl would most probably make you being a pedophile because, well, it's obvious, I guess - except of the very rare cases of oppai lolis, but they most probably exist only in hentai worlds...
