James M. Cantor is an American-Canadian clinical psychologist and sexologist specializing in hypersexuality and paraphilias.[1][2][3]

A former senior scientist with the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto,[4][1] Cantor was editor-in-chief of the journal Sexual Abuse from 2010 to 2014.[5] His research on brain differences in pedophiles has been cited as evidence that pedophilia is something unchangeable and that people are probably born with it.[6]
