I can imagine that the causes can be quite different between pedo/ephebo/hebephilia too, even though it's often all called pedophilia.

Yeah, that's probably true

Pedo is probably the one most-likely influenced by trauma sustained during childhood (cultural influences, too)

I mean, some people call attraction to 17yos pedophilia just because it's illegal in some states, and the causes there would be widely different, most likely.

I'd argue that hebephilia isn't NEARLY as bad as pedophilia or even ephebophilia

mainly because older teens generally LOOK like adults

what is it exactly? like around 14?

Hebephilia is like 15-17 IIRC

but lemme check

okay nvm

I'm retarded

well, then I'd say that just fine

I meant ephebophilia

on the upper end at least

hebephilia is 11-14

though Hebephilia kinda makes sense coming from a cultural lense

ah; yeah that's the border territory

specifically in areas and time-periods where mortality rates were high

I'd argue that Hebephilia is merely a byproduct of those times

That was Victorian Era, yeah?

SCORCHED EARTH: FIREY DENIALY PART 2

@SkeF Victorian and Pre-Victorian, actually

I see.

yeah; today it's largely a question of "can the person consent"
In periods when they didn't give a fuck about consent either way...

RE: areas such as Colonial America, where mortality rates tended to be incredibly high

(especially the Chesapeake area, from what I've recently heard)

I'll have to look into whether or not hebephilia's more common in that area, though

You guys are idiots

"Layers of White" is genius

there's that image floating around, of newspapers about ~25yo marrying 11yo and how he gave her a teddy as a wedding gift

from early 1900s

from the US

That was ordinary back then

My Nono married my Nona when she was 14 and he was 20

they lived happily ever after until death

Yes

Drunkinly happy

And now are dead
