[Wright is right!]

"The term you are looking for is ephebophilia, defined as a recurrent, intense sexual interest in post-pubescent young people -- teen-agers."

Thanks - couldn't remember it offhand.

Of course, ephebophilia used to go by a different name here in The Colonies back about 200 years or so ago. Back then, it was called "taking a wife." Low life expectancy rates almost mandated early marriage.

Of course, ephebophilia used to go by a different name here in The Colonies back about 200 years or so ago. Back then, it was called "taking a wife." Low life expectancy rates almost mandated early marriage.

But things have changed -- life expectancy is higher, marriage age is higher, and in the Colonial era, the intentions of such men were honorable.
