Is liking twinks pedophilia?

[Telstra]

I'm sure there are some children who stalk hot men or women to see if they are naked,
but yes the adults have all the power.

I feel like we're just going in circles. Everything that Rareboy mentioned in his most previous post is something I've already addressed time and again.

I feel that age of consent laws are respectable but aren't always accurate and honest. Rareboy and LuckyNumbah7 not only agree with it but feel that it's an absolute firm guidance for everyone. Let's just say that we agree to disagree. For the rest of today, I am too mentally exhausted to continue this petty tension between members; I'm preparing for my Disney world trip tomorrow and have much packing to do.

(Although, given more free time, I would perhaps like to address some of the more minor detailed points that Numbah7 brought up; since some of these are a decent counter-response to my own.)

At any rate, I stand by my statement regarding the original topic: 17/16-years-old is not against the law in Canada, since the age of consent there is 16. If they look too "twinkish", that may or may not be because they are 17 or 16. Asking to make sure, if you worry, is always a rule of thumb. Personally, however, I believe that society and legal regulations conditioning the OP to have to worry about something so humanly petty is rediculous, since, in actuality, everyone develops differently at different rates and in different ways. Having no understanding of flexibility in the line drawn adds to the roll of eyes, but that's just me. I abide by the rules, but I don't have to always like it.

You seems to suggest that anyone who have sex with girls/boys under the age of 18 is a pedophile.
Is that correct? If not correct, i'll take back my comment.

Each country set the age of consent, under that age is paedophilia. While no one even if legal should force themselves on another!

 

[refujiunderground]

See? It was a matter of time.

Probably didn't even read my posts; probably don't care to. Probably will respond to my saying that he doesn't care to read my posts.

See how predictable these people are?

You just did by calling my past 14-year-old consensual relationship with a 25-year-old as "pedophile shit".

Again, probably don't even know what I'm talking about.



As much as I don't show it, I agree with you.

However, do you realize you just contradicted yourself?

Would you judge readiness by age or not?

No, I didn't. I saw you say that it was okay for a 15 year old to be with a 25 year old. I'm calling you out based off of that.

I think of pedophilia as liking little kids....maybe I am wrong but that is my "idea" of what a pedophile is......

I think it is asinine to call someone who is maybe 23 and in love with someone who is 17 a pedophile.....because if he was 18 and the other guy was 24...no problem.....

As for liking twinks...who cares. I am not attracted to twinks and frankly anyone my age who is- they are slightly annoying to me...

I remember the guys in their 50s and 60s when I was bartending who got all slobbery and obsessed about guys who were in their early 20s...they gave me the creeps for the most part...with a few exceptions. Sometimes I wanted to throw up in my mouth...I sometimes felt sorry for the object of their affection...but I kept my mouth shut and just judged them silently ...because what consenting adults do is none of my business really......and any judgements I had were my problem.....I didn't make it theirs....

 

[Level27]

No, I didn't.

And, you even admit to it, too. Well, wasn't that easy.

I saw you say that it was okay for a 15 year old to be with a 25 year old.

Your superficialization of a more complex message brings you even further.

I'm calling you out based off of that.

I'm sorry I couldn't be more effected.
Try again when you actually have a grasp of my fuller message.
(Then again, I don't expect a moral/ethics hotmouth as yourself to agree with me, but there you go.)

My other point put quite nicely. ^^

So, my first response was correct.
You are basically saying almost EVERYONE is a pedophile. That is stupid.

 

[rareboy]

Pedophilia or paedophilia is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children.

Is this clear enough?

 

[mikey3000]

AND IT WAS ONCE AN ACCEPTABLE PRACTICE AND MOST LIKELY WILL BE AGAIN, JUST LIKE HOMOSEXUALITY WAS ILLEGAL AND MENTAL DISORDER NOT TOO LONG AGO.

Everything under the stars is cyclical.

In NYS the age of consent is 17. Why do sites like Craigslist say that you have to be 18 to post?

Because the age of consent varies so much, but, generally, 18 is the accepted minimum to keep websites out of trouble with the law. Here in JUB, for instance, it is against JUB rules to post photos of anyone beneath the age off 18. It goes so far as photos of actors cannot be posted as long as the character being portrayed is under 18, even though the actor may have been in his 20s at the time of the photo.

For instance, it is possible to post photos of Daniel Radcliffe, but none of Harry Potter. In the books and movies (except for the epilogue in Deathly Hallows Part II), Harry was never older than 17 despite Daniel being older.

That's why '18' is the magic number.

When you're 18 you can legally have sex with others 18 and over. Cuts out the middling teenage range which is/tends to be a grey area law-wise because partnership legality there depend on age and state. It's done that way to cut down on predation. You can see how well it works by all the 'reasonable' arguments people attempt to produce so as to fuck someone they know they shouldn't.

I have no idea what you're talking about - if the age of consent is 17 in NYS then it should be fine for a 17 year old to openly put up an ad.

Because the age of consent might not be 17 were the website is based.

Okay. That explains it.

"psychiatric disorder" is debatable. If you use "psychiatric disorder" too loosely/ EVERYONE has psychiatric disorder. I would change this statement to:

"Pedophilia or paedophilia is an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children."

You really shouldn't talk about things you know nothing about. (At least without looking up the word or phrase in a dictionary.)

And he wasn't using 'psychiatric disorder' loosely.

I did look it up and don't think "psychiatric disorder" is the correct word.
I watched this whole video.

It sounds like the age of consent is really 18 in Canada which makes sense then. I think 14 or 16 is too young to consent for sex.

The Virgin Mary is often thought to have been 14 when she was betrothed to Joseph. Likewise Juliet when she forsook her cousin Paris for Romeo. I think the idea was to marry girls off as soon as possible after or even before puberty, before there were opportunities to be impregnated by the wrong boy or man.
