An acronym that stands for Minor Attracted Person. MAP is a blanket term used to describe all minor attractions.
There are different words for different age based attractions, called chronophilias. there are 4 chronophilias under the MAP umbrella. nepiophilia, pedophilia, hebephilia, and ephebophilia.
The term was created in 2007 by professionals in the organization B4U-ACT. It was created as a more accurate term for minor attracted people, since a pedophile is a person attracted to specifically prepubescent children, and not all minors are prepubescent.
