    With all the recent discussion around Epstein and his files , it seems like a pertinent question to ask .

    Not to defend pedophiles, but being attracted to a 15 year old isn't pedophilia . It's technically some other term ... attracted to teenagers or something like that.

    Be honest . Are there young women that you find attractive? Attractive physically , but would not deal with the mental side of being 15 ? Is there a difference men vs women ?

    How old is 15 really ?

    Democrats are the party of sexual deviants and pedophiles... John Podesta, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Clinton, and all the celebs who took the Lolita Express flight to Epstein's island (Trump never was on it)...

    As a reminder, a few months ago (in May) California Democrats REJECTED harsher penalties for solicitation of teenage girls.

    SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Democrats rejected on Thursday a Republican-backed effort to advance a policy to increase penalties for soliciting and buying sex from 16- and 17-year-olds

    It's technically isn't pedophilia, but creepy and illegal.

    All you need to know is go find the thread involving the child bride of the Green Mile actor that played Percy.

    15? Sounds like jail bait.

    You could reword the question to "Is the Age of Consent is too young?" or some such. This removes the question of legality. and makes it a question of good judgment.

    15 is 15. But it's old enough for more people than we care to admit. Hollywood. Whatever cities fashion models start at. Singers. Rappers. And for boys it's bad, too. Just look at how we react when a teacher gets caught screwing an eighth grade boy. I'm not sure if dudes still do this, but there were countdowns for random teenage celebrities turning 18. :confused:

    Yeah, I'd quibble about calling Trump and Epstein pedophiles. Seems like the girls they raped were pubescent. So, it could be worse, I guess. But, I am totally okay with the laws we have about consent and I think grown men having sex with 15 year olds should go to prison. I've seen hot 15 year olds, but I'm not such a creep that I'd try to seduce them.

    It is pedophilia - and it is embarrassing you had to ask.

    The left wingers are here to lecture people about sexual morality. No, really. LOL. I've never met a stranger group of sexual deviants in my life than liberal men.

    You need to go learn the definition of pedophilia. If you're gonna use it, at least use it in proper context.

    Infantophilia: a sole attraction to 5 year-olds and younger.

    Pedophilia: a sole attraction to prepubescent children.

    Hebephilia: a sole attraction to 11-14 year-old pubescents.

    Pedohebephilia: a combo of pedo- and hebe-.

    Ephebophilia: an attraction to mid-adolescents, primarily 15-16 years old.

    Teleiophile: an attraction to children who appear to be physically mature.

    There are many studies that show sexual abusers are attracted to both pubescents and young adults.

    These are all clinical definitions or suggested clinical definitions. None are a legal definitions. Also, these terms describe a preference, not an act. Not all pedos act on their urges and not everyone who sexually assaults a child is a pedo. Two of the key determinants for the sexual abuse of children are proximity and opportunity. Studies also show the following are factors in child sex abuse: general antisocial tendencies, high sex drive, and temporary disinhibition.

    People who sexually assault children typically have a combo of the following disorders, with 33% mostly in cluster B and 43% mostly in cluster C.

    Then there is the power dynamic.

    In a study conducted between February 2023 and May 2023:

    of the 89 politicians that made the news for sex crimes involving minors, 60 were republicans, 12 were Democrats, 2 were Libertarians, the rest were unaffiliated.
    9 of the top 10 states with the HIGHEST rates of sex crimes with minors were republican leaning states, just 1 was a Democrat leaning state
    7 of the top 10 states with the LOWEST rates of sex crimes with minors were Democrat leaning states, the other 3 were swing states
    90% of child molesters attend church on a regular basis
    about 12% were church employees (60% of those were evangelicals).
