I think the point is rather than comparing the act of sex with a minor with other sexual activities or preferences, the comparison is with the attitude we have towards the perpetrators. Of course sex with a minor is illeagal and rightly so, but not because we should be repulsed by it but because of the abuse of position that takes place between an adult and minor. An adult is in a position to exert their will over that of a minor, so the abuse that takes place is that of an adult abusing their position as an adult, taking advantage of their position to manipulate, coerce or force themselves on a minor.
This is why sex with a minor is illeagal, beacsue a minor is not deemed to be fully responsible for, or in control of, their actions. A minor can not make a contract, a minor can not give consent in a binding way. Now we can argue over at what age a minor is in control of their will, and some will say younger than 18 (age of criminal responsibility is 10) and some could soundly argue that even an 18 year old is in a position of weakness when confronted by a more mature adult, which is why liaisons between staff and students in places of further education are discouraged; when you pack your 18 year old daughter of to University you wouldn't take too kindly to some 30 something lecturer influencing his way into her knickers.
So the point about suggested hypocrisy towards those who seek sex with minors is not how we treat them but how we regard them, our attitude towards them. The way we treat them is to put them on trial and lock them up if convicted. Quite righlty because they have broken the law. But this law is in place to protect minors, it is not there to gratify the public's hysterical search for punishment and retribution.
Imagine living in a World where the object of your desires is beyond reach because the law makes it so! This was the unfortunate World gay people lived in for quite some time. Imagine how they must have felt! I doub't those whose desire minors are happy with their disposition, I'd guess they may feel cursed, much as an alcoholic who knows the booze will kill him but he can't stop himself. So we can't accommodate these people because we must protect the minors, but perhaps we could show a bit more compassion or understanding, so rather seek retribution we could seek to help them cope with their dilema!
