Just to point out, having a paraphilic disorder for pubescent teenagers is not pedophilia but hebephilia (i.e. having sexual interest in pubescent teenagers of either sex between 11 and 16)
Just to point out, colloquially you are wrong, and there is a colloquial use of the term pedophile. We are not discussing this in an academic setting and it also doesn't change the content of this discussion to redefine terms to academic ones, so no need to change it. Everyone understands what's being referenced here because it was specified as being a 14 year old in the OP.
What exactly is your purpose in making this distinction between these terms?
Can't even discuss serious mental disorders anymore without being dogpiled smh
People who are afflicted with these need help but people would rather just talk about how they deserve to be killed instead for something they never chose to have
as a graphic designer, i try to remind fellow graphic designers that apart from circumstances and conversations specifically related to your craft, colloquial use is totally acceptable and that you shouldn't be insisting on pointing out the difference between a font and a typeface, because no one cares and it's annoying as fuck.
not to mention everyone knows what people mean when they say "font" so there's no point in pedantic "ackshually"s. they just make you sound like a dick.
now that's what i think about designers being pedantic about designer terms.
when people talk about pedophiles they clearly mean people who act on it; no one cares what's in your heart or brain, that's between you and your psychiatrist. it's not even a legal term so it doesn't matter in "life or death" situations.
I know that there's a difference between a pedophile and a hebephile. I know that the differences is that pedos are attracted to prepubescent kids and hebes are attracted to pubescent kids. There is a difference between the two.
That being said, there's no way to say this online without sounding like someone who is attracted to kids.
I know I'm running full on into the blades of pedophilic panic here and I'm going to be accused of being a pedophile, but being attracted to pubescent teens is not a paraphilic disorder at all and perfectly normal.
I am all for protecting minors and 100% support laws that criminalizes adults having sexual contact with them, but I think we do a disservice to people's mental health to paint normal, healthy physical attractions as being deviant, and I don't think it does anything to protect minors.
I explicitly stated that it should be illegal to have sex with minors

Being attracted to 11 year olds, particularly when you're of Epstein Age, is decidedly not normal.
how irrational those gripped by pedophile panic have become
Guy on his second bottle of Jim Bean yelling about how he's being persecuted for doing a perfectly normal amount of drinking, even after he said he'd never actually endorse puking on your carpet.

Noone said 11 year olds. I said pubescent. Notice how, to make your point, you have to lie about what was said. It makes it appear that even you realize it's bs. Hell, especially considering you've swapped one lie out for another. How many different lies will you tell about what was said before you admit you might be wrong?

Oh, my apologies. It appears you didn't actually give a number, only replying to someone who did. All you said was that it was "perfectly natural" to fantasize about fucking anyone who was old enough to know what masturbation is.
What would you say is the lower bound for normality then?
fantasize about fucking anyone who was old enough to know what masturbation is.
Again, blatantly lying about what I said. It never ceases to amaze me how much people will just deny reality in order to cling to irrational beliefs.

? I've already explicitly stated it. Right in the first post. You had to have read it to get here. Can you explain to me exactly what you don't understand say I can phrase it better for you? I don't see how just repeating myself will get it through to you this time.
It's not "normal" to be attracted to 14 year olds. It's not "normal" to be specifically attracted to any age group. It's honestly all a kink. Are you attracted to elderly people? No? That's because you have a different kink. And don't get into stupid biological bullshit of reproductive success etc, a woman in her 40s who's given birth before is in some cases much less likely to die in childbirth than a 14 year old who hasn't done it before, arguably. That some people have breeding kinks with their pedo kinks is on them. Like seriously stop being so sexually narcissistic, there are thousands of kinks that combines in thousands of ways. Why do you think your kink is the "normal" one? Like get over yourself.
Whether kinks are disorders or not is a separate topic. Where kinks come from - we don't know 100%. There's some evidence certain brain conditions can cause disorders and sexual dysfunction, so it's possible pedophilia could be induced. Personally I am curious if oxytocin plays a role in pedophilia. You can get oxytocin (note: this is not OXYCONTIN) compounded in a nasal spray from compounding pharmacies. Just need a doctor's prescription for it, it has been used experimentally for social anxiety. I think some pedophiles likely get extra oxytocin from children (and other groups get it from animals in some cases) which is part of what triggers their attraction even if they don't want to harm children.
If you are attracted to someone, that doesn't entitle you to fucking them. Even if you can convince them to say yes somehow.
Consent cannot be given if it's not safe to give dissent. Meaning a "yes" doesn't count if a "no" wouldn't count either. Most kids cannot readily say "no." They cannot consent.
It’s not “normal” to be specifically attracted to any age group.
I said nothing about age, but about development.
Why do you think your kink is the “normal” one?
I said nothing about my own personal attractions. If you're asking, I'm not a hebephile. I would be lying if I were to claim I've never found one physically attractive, but my general physical sexual attraction is probably about as vanilla as it gets. My actual kinks, not so much. But that's a completely different topic.
Just like I defend homosexuality as a normal, healthy attraction, I defend this. That doesn't make me gay, or a hebephile.
If you are attracted to someone, that doesn’t entitle you to fucking them.
And I pretty clearly said explicitly otherwise. Literally this whole thing about consent is just completely pulled out of your ass as it has nothing to do with anything I've said. Hell, you're whole rant is completely detached from the reality of anything I've said.
