A ‘’socialite’’ is nothing more than a high priced whore.

Britain has some rather serious libel laws, more so then we do. Open you trap to the wrong people and it’ll cost you.

Definitions


The word pedophilia comes from the Greek παῖς, παιδός (paîs, paidós), meaning "child", and φιλία (philía), "friendly love" or "friendship".[20] Pedophilia is used for individuals with a primary or exclusive sexual interest in prepubescent children aged 13 or younger.[4][5] Infantophilia is a sub-type of pedophilia; it is used to refer to a sexual preference for children under the age of 5 (especially infants and toddlers).[21][10] This is sometimes referred to as nepiophilia (from the Greekνήπιος (népios) meaning "infant" or "child," which in turn derives from "ne-" and "epos" meaning "not speaking"), though this term is rarely used in academic sources.[22][23] Hebephilia is defined as individuals with a primary or exclusive sexual interest in 11- to 14-year-old pubescents.[24] The DSM-5 does not list hebephilia among the diagnoses; while evidence suggests that hebephilia is separate from pedophilia, the ICD-10 includes early pubertal age (an aspect of hebephilia) in its pedophilia definition, covering the physical development overlap between the two philias.[25] In addition to hebephilia, some clinicians have proposed other categories that are somewhat or completely distinguished from pedophilia; these include pedohebephilia (a combination of pedophilia and hebephilia) and ephebophilia (though ephebophilia is not considered pathological).[26][27]

You are correct. It is an innate biological impulse to be attracted to sexually mature adolescents - it leads to children and survival. Was a boy or a man supposed to look at a developed 15 y.o. and say, hmm, three more years?

That is not to say it is always moral to act on the attraction -that depends on time and circumstances - or that prostituting a minor ever is, but the attraction is normal.

While appalling, sex with post-pubescent, but underage prostitutes is not the same as sex with pre-pubescent little girls. The law treats it the same, and it is even called pedophilia, but psychologically, it isn’t the same.

Edgar Allan Poe married his first cousin, Virginia Clemm, when she was 13 and he was 27.

Not to split semantic hairs, but is there a different term for having sex with under-aged girls as opposed to children? In other words I thought that pedophilia was technically with pre pubescent individuals. Would pubescent minors carry a different term?

The technical term is Ephebophilia, "primary sexual interest in mid-to-late adolescents, generally ages 15 to 19".

Realistically, it is not a mental disorder for a male to be sexually aroused by teenage girls, otherwise we would have to consider all high school boys to be mentally disturbed. Well, perhaps they are, but that is another topic.

The Virgin Mary was about 13-14 when she married Joseph, who was much older.

In Romeo and Juliet, one of Juliet's lines has her saying she was "not yet 14". Meanwhile, Romeo is most likely an adult.

I bet it would surprise quite a few people here in the Uptight Citizen’s Brigade to look back over their family tree and see just how many times their ancestors married and the age and age spread of those same couplings. Pretty much anyone walking and breathing today is the direct result of one of their ancestors who was probably in their 20’s to 30’s getting married to a girl in their teens. It wasn’t even something that people batted an eye about as much as 2 generations ago.

Pedoes want pre-pubescent children, not teenage prostitutes. So that is technically correct. But quite disingenuous.

It’s not just about pedophilia, I believe it’s actually about what sets the boundaries for admissions into the truly elite. I think that Epstein and the numerous sex crimes that have been exposed and are being exposed paint a picture of a communal dark secret that they use to keep or distinguish themselves as elite. You know you are a member of the club because you and many members all share in the same criminal activity. Hence you can’t eat anyone out because in a way you are just as guilty.

In the Mafia, you could not be a "made man" unless you killed someone with another "made man" as witness. Similarly, in many gangs, you need to commit a felony as initiation.

I see this as an initiation activity. You aren't really trusted as part of the group until you partake in the initiation.

This is why, in earlier cultures which demanded virginity at marriage, girls were married off in their teens.

Well, I think teenagers, regardless of their sex, are disturbed in comparison to the way we older people think.

Which is completely normal.

It is adults who think like teenagers who really have a problem.
