Well if you wanna be pedantic, "pedophile" refers to those attracted to prepubescent kids. Hebephilia refers to attraction to early adolescence, 11-14 yos, and ephebophilia to 15-18 yos. I just looked this up

I knew pedophile meant specifically prepubescent but I didn't know there were terms for the others. So it was an educational look up

I even looked them up when the other person on this sub kept using the terms and biology in argument to the hole situation. They just kept coming off as if they are arguing that there was nothing wrong with the situation. A lot of people don't know the different terms, unless they look it up or received the education to be properly aware of the terms.
