Talk:Pedophilia: Innate or Learned?

Definition of "Pedophilia"

I am a bit confused about the definition this article gives. It says that to be a pedophile, you must have sexual interest in any prepubescent child. Would that mean anyone who likes a child older than 13 is not a pedophile? DerGeist4040 (discuss • contribs) 19:22, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

@DerGeist4040: Correct as pedophiles are attracted to prepubescent children. And take note that the definition of pedophilia here is being given from a notable source (https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/annurev.clinpsy.032408.153618), and is not the author's definition. See Hebephilia and ephebophilia. —Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 22:58, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
