pedophile

It seems most of the definitions on here are accurate, but just to clear some things up:

A "pedophile", according to the American Psychological Association and by it's very definition is: Someone, who for a period of 6 months or more, has arousing fantasies, urges, or feelings towards prepubescent children. The APA states that the person must be at least 16 or older, however there have been cases where younger teens have been diagnosed with "warning signs" that may indicate an unnatural sexual attraction.

Which means is that:
1) The sexual attraction towards young teens (13-17 yr olds) is in a completely different category known as ephebophilia. (The age of consent does not apply because it includes pubescent teens)

2) The words pedophile and child molester are not synonymous in that "pedophilia" describes the sexual attraction whereas "child molester" describes the sexual abuse. Furthermore, studies show that many child molesters aren't even attracted to children, which is why molestation is considered more of a power crime rather than a sex crime. In other words, many pedophiles do not abuse children, and many child molesters have no sexual interest in children - which is why they are two separate words.
(A molested child is not a victim of "pedophilia", he/she is a victim of "child molestation" - even if pedophilic urges led to the act.)

Example:
1) Bill just admitted to me today that he's a pedophile. I can't believe he's attracted to children, I hope he seeks help.

Pedophile: Game

A twisted version of hide and go seek where the hiders are children and the seeker(s) are pedophiles. Same rules as hide and go seek but once a hider is found/caught they are raped by the pedophile. Best if played at night and on school grounds (depending on the size of the playing area extra pedophiles may be needed) to add to the intensity that school children are running from a crazy pedophile. Some acting is required to get the best experience by both the pedophile and children: Player as the pedophile should make creepy grunts and scary laughs to scare the children, and children should scream and cry if caught and raped. Be warned that if school is by residential area and screaming is loud enough the police will be called. Invented by some crazy Gs up in Kenmore, Wa

Michael: We're playing pedophile tonight around 11
Alex: Sweet, who's playing pedophile?
Michael: Probably Taylor, he is the creepiest
Alex: Okay see you then

pedophile

Someone who has sex with pre-pubescent children. Not to be confused with a pederast. As an historical note, the ancient Greek (Homeric-Platonic) ideal was NOT pedophilia, but pederasty, specifically gay pederasty.

Ex: When Plato writes (Symposium 192 B-C) "a man of this sort is at any rate born to be a lover of boys or the willing mate of a man, eagerly greeting his own kind," he is talking about a grown man and a teenage boy, which is pederasty, not pedophilia.

are you a pedophile?

An expression of one's obliviousness to very obvious things. Often followed by silence per the listener's surprise at the speaker's bakaness.

Chris: "Are you a pedophile?"
Herbert: "..."
Viewer: "Wow. Just...wow. It's been going on for, like, ten years. Just...uhh."
