Debate Guide: Corresponding age attraction

Whatever your age, it is generally seen as acceptable to 'fancy' an age peer - that is to express romantic or sexual love for children as a child, and possibly even to act on it in some mild manner. But is it really true that your peak age of attraction should rise slowly, in line with your own age? Is it possible for the structure of the brain to change so much, as to go from expressing pedophilic traits, to not only a state of preferring adults, but showing no sexual or romantic attraction towards children at all? If not, as I predict, could it be that so many of us are in denial? Combine this supposed 'correspondence' theory with the findings of scientists investigating the attraction of females to adult and infant faces (study, follow up) before and after menarche, and it becomes even more futile.
