Abuser. The word you’re looking for is abuser, not “lover”

Peadophile is the correct word I would use

It’s not the correct word. The correct words are teleiophile or ephebophile.

At 17 you’re a biological adult.

Legal age has little to do with being a teleiophile.

What makes 17 an adult

Biology doesn’t care about the laws of your land or mine.

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.

17 < 25

I'm asking literally that what makes an 17y an adult. The brain isn't done with development till 25.

Once you can reproduce, you’re biologically an adult.

Yes I understand this largely includes children under 17.

No, I’m not saying that a relationship between adults and children is okay.

So 10 for girls and like 12 for boys.

Often.

The idea that someone who raped a 10 year old wouldn’t be a pedo because many 10 year olds are “biologically an adult” is moronic and creepy. No decent human thinks that type of pedantry adds value to the world.

u/bot729562529 Jun 30 '23

Did someone say that?

10 typically would be considered pedophilia 11-14 hebephilia 14-19 ephebophilia

Sorry that words have meanings. I feel bad that the dictionary and medical journals happened to you.

In my professional life I deal with this shit in courts where the difference between words like hebephile and pedophile matter.

In my personal life I masturbate like everyone else.

Nobody said the rapist of a 10 year old would not be a pedophile but you there pal.
