It's not their choice to feel that way, it IS their choice to act on it. There are plenty of pedophiles that do not act on their urges, who choose to ignore it and are perfectly capable of living normal lives in the community. This is another reason why crimes dealing with it have high re-offending rates, the ones that offend in the first place are the ones that cannot control them, and so the risk that they'll therefore re-offend in future is naturally far higher.
To support the fact it's a natural attraction then you only have to look at it only being quite recently in human history that pedophilia has been seen as wrong, and there's still many tribal communities around the world where it's actively practiced. Not much has changed in the human brain since then, only social conditioning.
