Ephebophilia

Sexual attraction, preferentially, to teenagers who have been through puberty. It does not mean preference for adults, as some have thought. The age range is generally considered to be 15-19. It should be noted that almost all adults profess attraction to this age group, and that one is classified as an ephebophile only if this age group is chosen preferentially.

The beloved may or may not have reached the age of consent, depending on local laws.

Watch out, man! People will call you a pedo!

I'm no pedo! I like them grown up, just young. I'm have ephebophilia.

(From the Greek "epi-", upon + "Hebe", the goddess of youth, signifying those who have completed puberty + "-philia", loving.)

Ephebophilia

A sexual attraction towards young men or women who are in the later stages of adolescent maturity and early adulthood.

A love for physical nubile form.

The state of an inate sexual arousal (or urge) in homosapiens sapiens to pass along their genetic information, and with optimal proficiency, to produce the healthiest offspring that can repeat the process of evolutionary life cycles as guided by natural selection.

Scientific studies have concluded that women, generally between the ages of 16 and 23, are at the apex of their fertility and fecundity and produce the healthiest descendants.

It's been purported, and various studies have shown, that at least 80% of adult males are ephebophiles, whether they acknowledge it or not.

"Ephebophilia is a common traight amongst adult men."
