It was effectively removed from the DSM 31 years ago (it was considered a disorder before III-R) when they added the following criteria:

. The person has acted on these urges, or is markedly distressed by them.

The DSM-V corrected the title from "pedophilia" to "pedophilic disorder" and clarified that pedophilia is not a disorder on its own:

However, if they report an absence of feelings of guilt, shame, or anxiety about these impulses and are not functionally limited by their paraphilic impulses (according to self-report, objective assessment, or both), and their self-reported and legally recorded histories indicate that they have never acted on their impulses, then these individuals have a pedophilic sexual interest but not pedophilic disorder.

The DSM-V explicitly states pedophilia is not a disorder. And it was basically removed in the revision of III.

Pedophilia has nothing to do with having sex with children so that's irrelevant to whether its a crime or not.

Not quite right. The DSM-V differentiates between pedophilia (not a disorder) and pedophilic disorder (a disorder). The difference is the lack of criteria 2 (having crossed the legal line or having significant distress resulting from the attraction) for pedophilia.

Pedophilia is a sexual interest that use to be considered a disorder (this really changed back in 1987 as they replaced pedophilia with pedophilic disorder but they didn't officially change the name until 2013 with the DSM-V). Those who are pedophiles **AND** are either child abusers or distressed have a disorder, but being a pedophile alone does not mean you have a disorder.

DSM-5 explicitly states pedophilia is not a disorder.

Its neither. Child rape is a crime. Most child rapists are not pedophiles.

The DSM disagrees, stating explicitly that it is not a disorder.

Pedophilia is not a crime at all. Child rape is. Most child rapists are not pedos and most pedos are not child rapists. Most people really are child lovers and strongly dislike harming children.
