I always thought that the media was quick to call priests caught with teenage boys pedophiles rather than the more accurate moniker, gay man. Not that pedophile was inaccurate but it always seemed like it was a way to avoid the word gay when reporting on inappropriate sexual behavior.

Straight men caught with teenage girls are usually called deviants and preditors and not pedophiles by the media. Even though it is pedophilia in every sense.

Fredbear, your comparison of pedophiles and democrats tells me all I care to know about you and your lack of decency and character.

Some people just like the English language and bristle when they see it being misused. Words mean things. If you're into 8 year olds, you're a pedophile. If you're into 15 year olds, you're an ephebophile. I've never understood why people get so pissy when others point out the difference.



I think what's important is that the behavior that is being referenced (whether semantically acurate or not) is clear. Too often, people use semantics arguments as a veiled defense of the behavior.

If your think a 50 year old man screwing around with a 14 year old is VERY wrong, does the terminology change that?

Hey man, I'm not pissy at all. If you wanna call a jeep a truck then go for it. I've always felt like it's the people who can't discuss the difference without losing their shite that are the ones that have something to hide.

There is no "technical use" of the word, as much as pedophiles want there to be.

Let’s see whether a visual aid will help you grasp some distinctions. We will use Mila Kunis as our exemplar

If this pic (age 10) gets you hot, you are a pedophile


If this pic (age 16) starts your engine, you are an ephebophile


If this pic gets you wound up, you are a maiesiophile


If you like this pic (age 30), you are none of the above

Puberty is much less arbitrary than a codified age of consent.


Depends, if age of consent is tied to average mental benchmarks for certain age groups then it's not arbitrary at all.

Big difference between a 13 year old who has had their first period and a 17 year old even though both are minors.

I don't care if we're talking about a 10 year old who hasn't had a period or a 12 year old who has, it's equally disgusting for an adult to make moves on them. I don't care what labels you put on them, I'm putting my hands on them if I see it.

fricking a 14 year old if over 18 is inexcusable.


fricking a 17 year old as a 19 year old...I don't really have an issue with it's two years difference.

fricking anything under 12 if over 18 you need the death penalty and your parents need it to for raising you wrong.

Are the ones so quick to point out that fricking a 14 year old technically isnt pedophilia hiding something? Seems they may have some skeletons in the closet the way they're so defensive over people screwing 14 year olds being called a pedo.


So it’s your opinion that fricking a toddler and fricking a 14 year old are equal?

Because of people like you that can’t be bothered to expand your vocabulary, when someone is labeled a pedophile most people assume they fricked a high school girl, or possibly even got caught up in some BS technicality because they turned 18/19 their senior year and fricked a freshman chick who’s dad pressed charges.

Just admit you were wrong and learn to use the correct terminology.

Your op is stupid. Words mean things and the correction of your ignorance doesn't make one a pedophile.

A lot of Alabama voters are quick to point out that Roy Moore isn’t “technically” a pedo.

What's interesting is all of the 1980s teen sex comedies that glorified and sexualized 16 year old girls and purportedly showed them naked.
