	Despite his focus on preventionism, Seto's wider influence on the perception of pedophilia is arguably rather humanistic. He consistently develops an understanding of pedophilia as a sexual orientation, one that is as stable and unchangeable as other orientations. This has important clinical implications, including the recognition that conversion therapy is ineffective and harmful. His research is also aimed at distinguishing different levels of risk for offending and identifying different risk factors, thereby destigmatizing the attraction itself. His findings suggest that online offenses, illegal pornographic material, and contact offenses are categories associated with different levels of risk. Moreover, he studies not only the sexual component, but also the component of romantic love in the experiences of people attracted to children and adolescents.

Michael Bailey\|J. Michael Bailey]]''' is an American psychologist and professor of psychology at Northwestern University, widely known for his research on human sexuality; joining said university in 1989. Much of his career has been devoted to scientifically difficult and socially controversial questions about the origins and expression of sexual orientation, sex differences in patterns of sexual arousal, and the biological and psychological bases of sexuality.<ref>[https://psychology.northwestern.edu/people/faculty/core/profiles/michael-bailey.html Northwestern University faculty profile]</ref><ref>[https://faculty.wcas.northwestern.edu/JMichael-Bailey/research.html Bailey’s research page]</ref> His work has often faced ideological headwinds, hindering scientific progress in sex research. He detailed this in his 2023 chapter in ''"[[Ideological and Political Bias in Psychology]]"''.

	Bailey's views on pedophilia are nuanced and have evolved over time. In 2011, he reviewed "[[Thomas_O'Carroll#Michael_Jackson’s_Dangerous_Liaisons\|Michael Jackson's Dangerous Liaisons]]," noting that while the idea of harmless or beneficial pedophilic relationships is disturbing, there is a lack of scientific evidence supporting his visceral reactions. He acknowledged the author's arguments against his intuitions and found them compelling.<ref>[https://faculty.wcas.northwestern.edu/JMichael-Bailey/articles/MJOCarrollReview.pdf Bailey, J. M.

	In his 2016 study, Bailey conducted an Internet survey of 1,102 men sexually attracted to children, examining their history of offenses related to child pornography and sexual contact. He found that most had no offenses, and that permissive attitudes or frequent fantasies weren't related to offenses.<ref>[https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27732028/ Bailey, J. (2016).

Furthermore, in a 2009 blog post, Bailey compared hebephilia and pedophilia to normal sexual orientations, suggesting that individuals with these attractions can experience feelings of love and attachment towards children, similar to how heterosexuals bond with adults. <ref>[http://www.scientificblogging.com/j_michael_bailey/was_michael_jackson_pedophile Bailey, J.

	O’Carroll’s book on singer Michael Jackson was published in 2010 under the pen name “Carl Toms”. Michael Jackson’s Dangerous Liaisons, a 624-page work, essayed a comprehensive review of the late entertainer’s controversially intimate relationships with preadolescent and adolescent boys. Published in the UK by Troubador Publishing Ltd. "At seventeen years in the making and a hefty 624 pages, this has been O'Carroll's most ambitious work, in which, under the pen name Carl Toms, he essays a comprehensive review of the late entertainer’s controversially intimate relationships with young boys. Described in the linked biography by historian [[William Percy]] as "a work of genius", Michael Jackson's Dangerous Liaisons received enthusiastic pre-publication endorsements from five eminent professors, including [[Richard Green]], [[Donald West]], [[James Kincaid]], [[Thomas Hubbard]], and Percy himself. After publication another renowned scholar, J. Michael Bailey, professor of psychology at Northwestern University, also gave high praise in a four-page review for the academic journal [[Archives of Sexual Behavior]]. Bailey, a family man, wrote, “The idea that pedophilic relationships can be harmless or even beneficial to children is disturbing to many people, including me.” But, he continued, “The lack of scientific evidence supporting my largely visceral reactions against pedophilic relationships has been one of the most surprising discoveries of my hopefully ongoing scientific education. [...] O’Carroll argues against my intuitions and he argues well.”		O’Carroll’s book on singer Michael Jackson was published in 2010 under the pen name “Carl Toms”.
