[quote=Anonymous] didn't say it was OK.  It's creepy, gross and WRONG!  
I was clarifying the difference between a pedophile and an ephebophile.  Not justifying anything.

[quote=Anonymous]oh OK

b/c being an ephebophile is more acceptable . . .

:roll:

It's not OK for any adult to take advantage of a kid.

And while many of us keep lines of communication open with our own kids - b/c our households are not dysfunctional - there ARE kids growing up poor and/or abused who ARE vulnerable.  Furthermore, kids confused about their own sexuality are targets, too.

ephebophile
pedophile

Who the fuck cares?  If this were YOUR kid, I doubt you'd be consulting your manual you purchased for abnormal psych class.

According to the suit, Clash met a then 15-year-old Cecil Singleton on a gay chat line in 2003 and soon began wooing the youngster — taking him to dinner and giving the youth money.

“As a 15-year-old child, Cecil Singleton was not emotionally or psychologically prepared for a sexual relationship with a grown man in his 40s,” the suit said.

gross[/quote]

It also says that only [i]after[/i] the relationship began that Singleton admitted that he was underage.  He didn't realize that Clash was famous and/or rich at the time.

Is he feeling differently now that he realize he can get some $$$?  Where were his parents when he was trolling chat sites setting up dates as a minor?[/quote]

Look, PP, I get that.  But as an adult you'd THINK you'd be a tad bit smarter than Clash was.  While a 14 yo can look 20, it's still not wise for some 40 yo to take up with someone THAT much younger.

What if he were your kid?

And while I can "overlook" the first incident, accepting the belief that Clash was duped, I can't get past the second incident where the kid claims he was 15 and being wooed.

Gay is gay.

Being a pedophile, however, is a whole different beast.  Dude's not gay; dude's a predator.[/quote]

Technically he's not a pedophile.  P[b]edophiles only want undeveloped children.[/b][/quote]

Get out from your cave and do your research.

not true

They have a preference. Usually, they are stuck at the age at which they, too, were molested.

So you're defending him?

scary[/quote]

Actually, I'm not defending him.  He's still gross and creepy but he's not a pedophile he's an Ephebophile.

Primary adult sexual attraction to prepubescent children (DSM-IV: Over a period of at least six months, recurrent, intense, sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges or behaviors involving sexual activity with a prepubescent child or children)

Ephebophilia is the primary or exclusive adult sexual interest in mid-to-late adolescents, generally ages 15 to 19
