− | '''Pedophilia''' (or '''paedophilia''', originally Greek '''παιδοφιλια'''; ''paidophilia'') is a sexual attraction to pre-pubescent children. While the exact definition varies by context, it commonly refers to the medical definition defined in the ''Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders'' published by the ''American Psychiatric Association''. The correct term for an attraction to adolescents is [[ephebophilia]].
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Those who meet the criteria set above are classed as '''pedophiles'''. Common usage do not follow the strict medical definitions of an adult or teen who is attracted to ''prepubescent'' children, but often refers to any adult who is attracted to, or has sexual contact with, any person under the age of consent, or the age of majority (often 16-18 in most western countries).

− | | + | |
− | In many societies and cultures, the term pedophile is highly stigmatized and represents an image of an evil, callous monster. This spurs many self-identified pedophiles to adopt names such as [[boylover]], minor-attracted adult, [[girllover]], and [[childlover]], among others, to assist in differentiating themselves and their values from this stereotype.

− | | + | |
− | While pedophiles have made great contributions to past societies, their influence is often ignored or their attraction to children is greatly played down.

− | | + | |
− | One of the dearest [[fantasy]] held in the paedophile sub-culture is that of the fantasy island - the secluded island community where paedophiles and children roam free, enjoying total sexual freedom. The idea behind this fantasy is the suggestion that away from the oppressive teachings of these organised religions, those who feel a sexual attraction towards the pre-pubescent can indulge their basest desires and, in doing so, also achieve some form of enlightenment... that the freedom to establish their much maligned and negated altruism will result in some kind of mass overhaul of opinion amongst the general population.
| + | |

− | However, that's why it's called a fantasy. Because it'll never happen. The irrational hatred felt towards paedophiles is something that few are prepared to even acknowledge as being irrational, let alone try to combat.
