A ephebophile is a older adult who are sexually attracted to 15 and 19.

It really grinds my gears that society doesn’t have a problem with a 18 year old having consensual sex with a 17-year-old. Even though the 18 year old is an adult and the 17 year old is a minor. But if 26 year old has consensual sex with a 18 year old. Ah then society has a problem. But why should that be a problem? When both actions are completely harmless as long as both people are consenting adults.

    In the OP I clearly say that ephebophilia between two consenting adults is not morally wrong.

    this argument is flawed because

    #ephebophelia cannot exist between two adults since

    So do you think a 26 year old man being sexually attracted to a 18 or 19 your woman is not a ephebophile?

    first, i don’t believe you’re interested in that, or you wouldn’t be here trying to convince everyone it’s ok to fuck kids. but, also:

    Straw man

    A straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction.[1] One who engages in this fallacy is said to be “attacking a straw man”.
