Nah, the proper term is actually ephebophilia (attraction to mid-to-late adolescents, aged 15 to 19 years old).
so it's pedophilia but specifically for teenagers (?)
Pretty much, yeah.
I would say yeah, considering how we use the term pedophilia in modern day to mean being attracted to anyone underage. But also that story has a lot of weird stuff in general like *SPOILERS**
Idk if you’ve gotten this far but doesn’t mo ran rape the ml?? Might be misremembering cuz it’s been years but I’m fairly certain that happened.
he does what omg i regret buying this book
Wow, it has pedophilia/ephebophilia? This was on my list to read until now. Yikes. Why does no one warn readers that this has this or talk about it?
In technical terms, no. Pedophilia is attraction to pre-pubescent children, a 15 year old has already gone through puberty. The correct term for someone attracted to teenagers is ephebophilia. So the character wouldn’t be a pedophile, he’d be an ephebophile.
