It's only illegal in some states. It's legal in others. Why don't you find somebody you're attracted to for some other reason than their age?

Pedophilia


Definition
Pedophilia is a paraphilia that involves an abnormal interest in children. A paraphilia is a disorder that is characterized by recurrent intense sexual urges and sexually arousing fantasies generally involving: nonhuman objects; the suffering or humiliation of oneself or one's partner (not merely simulated); or animals, children, or other nonconsenting persons. Pedophilia is also a psychosexual disorder in which the fantasy or actual act of engaging in sexual activity with prepubertal children is the preferred or exclusive means of achieving sexual excitement and gratification. It may be directed toward children of the same sex or children of the other sex. Some pedophiles are attracted to both boys and girls. Some are attracted only to children, while others are attracted to adults as well as to children.

Pedophilia is defined by mental health professionals as a mental disorder, but the American legal system defines acting on a pedophilic urge as a criminal act.

Description
The focus of pedophilia is sexual activity with a child. Many courts interpret this reference to age to mean children under the age of 18. Most mental health professionals, however, confine the definition of pedophilia to sexual activity with prepubescent children, who are generally age 13 or younger. The term ephebophilia, derived from the Greek word for "youth," is sometimes used to describe sexual interest in young people in the first stages of puberty.

The ignorance in this thread burns. 1)It's not illegal to date anyone. It's sexual actions that are illegal. 2)18 and 14 aren't much difference, especially if the guy is the 18 year old. 3)He's not a pedophile, you fool. Go look up the definition before using it in a sentence, or a message I should say.


Yeah well, in our society, an 18 year old dating a 14 year old is inappropriate, even if it isn't illegal.
