Acronym for Minor Attracted Adult - an adult who is attracted (usually sexually, but often in other ways as
well) to persons who are legally considered minors. Most
men are MAAs, because most
men are sexually attracted to 16-year-old girls, and in most jurisdictions 16-year-old girls are minors.
Forty-year-old Bob realized that he was an MAA when he noticed that every
time he had sex with his new girl friend, he was actually fantasizing about having sex with her 16-year-old
daughter.
