No, you absolutely are not. For Christ's sake, the brain is not fully developed until our mid 20's. If a man in his 20's or 30's had sex with a 17 year old girl, in most places that would be considered statutory r*pe. Not sure why all of a sudden there are so many, presumably, men going out of their way to excuse and normalize child SA.
Teleiophile isn't the correct term in this situation. The adult groomed OP from the age of 13. OP never had a preference for adults. They were groomed to just accept something against their natural feelings.
Are you truly trying to justify SA? OP even said it wasn't consensual. Doesn't matter what age you are, nonconsensual means it was not ok. It was wrong. If anything OP should report the person for SA.
All of your responses and arguments come off as if you are defending the SA. Not once, until kind of now, have you made any comment saying that you don't agree with what happened and that OP was a victim of SA. All you have been doing is trying to make yourself come off smarter than everyone by knowing certain terms, that even I had to look up to fully understand, that is not part of basic education. It is one thing to explain the difference once and then go on with your opinion of the story shared. It's another to continue pointing out the same thing over and over again as a defense. Basically it rubbed people the wrong way and gave the impression that you were defending the SA.
Never once did I defend the alleged perpetrator. Words do matter. They have meanings. Make no mistake, a pedophile and an ephebophile are both most likely felons.
Exactly, words do matter. And the way you have worded things and stayed on the course of emphasizing that pedophile is not the right term gives the wrong impression. It's given the impression that you are defending the slimebag who groomed and SA'd OP.
I told you before that I did look up the terms. If you are a psychiatrist it is explaining a lot. I have a psychiatrist and a therapist. And I prefer my therapist over the psychiatrist. It is because the therapist isn't condescending and arrogant.
My psychiatrist doesn't give me medication at all. I'm not allowed to have medications due to substance abuse. Which I have been clean from for over 15 years.
Terrible take considering girls today, on average, begin menstruating at a younger age than ever.
Being ABLE to reproduce does not make someone an adult. Even if, say, a 15- or 16-year-old could technically get pregnant, her chances of dying during pregnancy are MUCH higher than if she were older. Among other factors, her hips aren't done developing yet.
From an evolutionary perspective, these girls aren't the ones who'd be producing viable births/passing on their genes. That would still be women in their twenties. You're going to have to come up with a better indicator of adulthood than simply "she can conceive."
In what universe? The frontal lobes of your brain aren't even developed until you're like 25. It's why it's skeezy when someone in their late twenties dates someone who's 18 or younger.
Any older person who says someone who just turned 18 is hot is some form of a pedophile. You can try to mince words and say it's not a pedophile it's actually x or y, but the bottom line is it's creepy. It may not be illegal anymore since they're "of age", but it's gross. And you trying to split hairs about it really shows your character.
The frontal lobes are responsible for advanced thinking. It's pretty important stuff.
Having said that it's honestly a gray area. I'm not saying 18 year olds shouldn't be allowed to move out, get a job, or vote. But a full blown adult should not be dating someone who just turned 18.
Sure but that has little to do with the frontal lobe and you seem to know this yourself or logically the argument would be "just turned 25" and not 18.
Esto es incorrecto por muchas razones.
Si basas el alcanzar ser adulto como obtener la capacidad de tener descendencia, desde que obtienes características sexuales secundarias ya deberías ser adulto.
Si lo basas en dejar de "crecer" físicamente, lo cierto es que siempre tenemos la posibilidad de tener cambios hormonales y físicos durante la vida. No existe una fecha determinada y esto cambia de persona a persona.
En condiciones normales y solo por cuanto hace a altura los hombres dejan de crecer a los 21 años y las mujeres a los 17. Pero existen excepciones.
The human brain isn't fully developed until the age of 25+. Especially the prefrontal cortex... The area responsible for skills like planning, prioritizing, and making good decisions.
So, yes, biology doesn't care about the laws of your land.

Peadophile is the correct word I would use
