rather than pedophile. It is best to use the correct term.


Note: I used the incorrect term here. Our friend corrected me below. I was in the middle of a conversation with Dr. Gary Brucato on the Kohberger case, and as I tend to do when trying to do more than one thing at a time, made yet another of my mistakes. Apologies.

It is not the same word. They have distinct meanings. The word in the OP has to do with children before puberty, the correct word for the president is post-puberty. The distinction is recognized in psychology and the law.

Especially listening to victims. I recommend that others do so.

Ephebophilia is the primary sexual interest in mid-to-late adolescents

Pedophilia (alternatively spelled paedophilia) is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a sexual attraction to prepubescent children.

How I was hoping he'd do a major tumble down the stairs from the top, banging his head all the way.

I did chuckle, however, when he couldn't walk a straight line down the red carpet...first one side, then the other.

Telepathy just doesn't work for me anymore...Damn!
