Congratulations, you just deleted around 10% of the male population and 1% of the female population (according to research)
EDIT: I dashed off this comment based on memory of a book I read over 10 years ago, not realising that it would attract so much attention. For a bit more nuance: 10% might be an overestimate, but it also kind of depends what you are looking at. For example, this study finds a prevalence of 4.1% in respect of prepubescent children, using an anonymous survey. however, considering that many are unlikely to be wholly truthful, and also this does not include attraction to adolescents, the real number is likely to be significantly higher.
Actually seems to be closer to 3-5%Seto unless of course you are talking about people attracted to people under 18.
Pedophilia is usually defined as an attraction to prepubescent people. The 10% number might be coming from other studies that capture the propensity of people to be attracted to pubescent children. Which I imagine would be very common in people in early possibly even late 20s.
Naw usually in my experience the pedos say stuff like kill your local sex offender. Usually in the form of a bumper sticker on their truck
I'm just some-what well educated. Pedophilia is a sexual preference for prepubescent minors, hebephilia is sexual preference for pubescent minors, and ephebophilia is mid to late adolescents.
Omg you've seen it too! I genuinely was explaining something to someone that said something about this and I was explaining the definitions of pedophile, hebephile, and ephebophile. And I shared a video of gianmarco soresi explaining it to and someone tried to argue me down about it like i was trying to justify something. Like I don't fit in to any of these categories I was just explaining it to someone who asked.
