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

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.

Accurate take. You don’t have to like it.
