Guys, Is my boyfriend a pedophile?

[Anonymous]

I met this guy 2 months ago and I really like him but his friends on social media are mostly girls and guys 15-17 years old, some girls are even 12-13 years and he is following some unknown girls who are younger than 18 years old on Instagram... He is living nearby school and plays basketball with schoolchildren often. He is 28 years old and I am 23 but I look like a schoolgirl. The thing that he might be pedophile or ephebophil really bothers me, I don’t want to bring this topic up to him because I like him...

[Miristheiss]

lol,

Does ANYONE know what that word really means?

Post puberty teenagers do not mean that. That is being attracted to little kids... not teens and young women.

[Asker]

So it’s normal?

[Miristheiss]

I'm saying you are using the wrong vocabulary.
That word does not apply to what you are talking about.

[Asker]

Oh, ok. Well he might be ephebophile

[scuff1986]

its something that you need to actually talk to him about cos its making you uncomfortable

[Asker]

So there’s a possibility that he’s normal?

[scuff1986]

unclear could be harmless, but does seem suspicious as i said you need to talk to him about it

[Asker]

Ok, I see. Thanks!

[scuff1986]

your welcome

I think the science says that most men are attracted to teenage girls. But we dont go hunt for them and find them to follow them on Instagram tho.

[worldscolide]

Not a pedo but possibly a predator, definite red flags here, wow.

[Asker]

Predator?

[worldscolide]

Sexual predator, likes under age women.

[Twalli]

Maybe he's friends with them because he plays/played basketball with them.

[Waldoe]

he just might like kids, like many teachers do, non-sexual and totally innocent...

[harry7825]

Sounds really scary for me
I think he is a pedophile or he is causal with playing with kids

[Asker]

So for you as a 24 year old guy it’s not normal, right?

[harry7825]

Yes I think

[Asker]

Ok, thanks...

[harry7825]

Yes thank you

Yeah he could be into that but not act on it knowing it’s wrong but could be a fantasy of his

[Fromdusktilldawn]

I do not see any problem here.

[In_Trance]

How old is he?

[Asker]

28 years old

[In_Trance]

Doesn't necessarily equate to pedophilia, but it's a little odd for sure

[Asker]

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking... a little odd

[OddBeMe]

Yeah, he a perv
