Pedophilia (pedophilia) is a sexual disorder in which a person experiences sexual feelings towards pre-pubescent children.

Hebephilia: A sexual preference for pubescent (i.e. early adolescent) individuals, typically aged 11-14

Ephebophilia: A sexual preference for late-stage adolescent individuals, typically aged 15 and 16

A pedophile is just everyone I dislike

The wood chipper doesn’t recognize the difference.

Correction: pedophilia is any pervert that shows any interest in my children before they are at least 18.

Anything before that should seek a neutering process or I'll do it for them, free of charge.

[sjmjax]

For Liberals, everyone that they dislike is a Nazi!

Article makes a point in that our language is losing meaning and precision.

Like so many words today, if people keep calling sex with teenagers pedophilia, then we will have to come up with a new word to describe real pedophilia.

In some states, the age of consent can be even lower than 16, but you need parental consent. I just wonder how someone initiates that conversation, especially if pappy owns a shotgun...

My grandmother was 16 when she got married (grandpa was 20 I think). Probably wouldn’t fly nowadays but they stayed together till the end which is more than I can say for most marriages today.

Good definitions.

In some countries where culture and law has little effect on marriage or perhaps, sexual encounters for young women, such as in Honduras in 70’s and 80’s, the average age of first birth for a woman was 15, or so I have been told.

A close friend of mine (a doctor, since deceased) told me the best physical age for a woman to have a baby was probably 14.

Getting married at 14-17 was very common in the USA until the 20th century.

Marriage at older ages has a lot to do with what is culturally accepted, and probably now, with widespread birth control and the cultural acceptance of promiscuity.

“A pedophile is just everyone I dislike”.

Around here anyone who enjoys sex, or has sex in any position other than the Missionary position, and utters dirty words is a pedophile...

Older generations married girls off early. That was before birth control and the sexual revolution. Girls at sixteen and seventeen were in high demand then. Times have changed, but men's natural urges haven't. What has changed is the number of cougars after young guys.

We all know what pedophilia is. What's your agenda?

[escapefromboston]

That sounds like something a Pedo would say!!! (or a nazi)

[Williams]

I assume you would allow two 17 year olds to date?

How about an 18 and 17 year old?

[TheThirdRuffian]

All the same kind of pervert to me.

The attempt to make distinctions is an attempt to carve out an excuse for one class of pervert or another.

[Openurmind]

Whole lot of lying hypocritical stuff happening... We know that no one ever enjoys sex, it is just a chore and a burden. lol
