I'm not so convinced that such a category indeed exists. I think it's more likely that society has deemed it taboo to be attracted to a 16 year old. Again I restate that to be attracted to a 5 year old is in my mind nothing but a disease but a 16 year old is just natural biology. There is a reason they call it pre and post pubescent. Because once you have crossed this biological line you are now at sexual maturity. I don't care what society of the past 5 or 600 years has to say on the topic, evolution of the past 100 million years wins out on this issue. It's NATURAL to be attracted to a sexy 16 year old and we don't need designations like whateverphilia for this. I'm not saying that a 40 year old should have sexual relations with a 16 year old. There are reasons society make this taboo, good reasons. But it's biologically 100% natural to feel sexually attracted.
I'm not too sure that this is taboo, but I believe it
is taboo to be attracted to a 5 year old.
I know damn well I was tremendously attracted to a lot of the girls around me when I was 14. Taboo? Nobody told me. :awe: When I was 12 I fancied I was in love with a certain platinum blond in my class, but I wasn't "attracted" to her. We parted ways when we left grammar school and I saw her again in high school (went to different junior high schools). She was very unattractive by high school, a real pity. Man, in junior high there were some seriously sexy babes (13-15, but I didn't start finding them really sexy until they were 14 or so, or maybe it was me).
