MAP Forum

I have learned through reading that people do not learn their attractions but we are all born with them. Meaning that we will feel attraction to what and who we are attracted no matter in which "life stage" we are.

So since I learned the term AAM (Adult-Attracted-Minor) something have been forming in my mind.

I got the theory that people who are Teleiophile are attracted to Adults since they are minors are the same people who will be attracted to people their age when they have physically fully grown up.

But then why do some people have relationships while being Children with other Children despite their attraction being towards Adults?

What comes to mind is that some may be MAP or are not exclusive, and the ones who are not may be spending their time with someone they can be because is legal for Children to have relationships with Children, until they or both fully grow up and start really feeling the attraction they were born with or if they separate and grow up they find an Adult person which they were always attracted to and now they can because is legal for adults have relationships with adults, But would not that mean that while being Children they reprimand their attraction to adults because it is not legal for them to have relationships with Adults?

I have seen people saying to Children who are attracted to adults "You are just going through changes at this age" "Is normal that you are feeling attracted to adults" "You are just maturing".

And for all that in my mind I just have one thing to say: It is not normal at all, I myself was never attracted to Adults, all that while seeing other Children sexualizing the Adults around us but I never felt the same way as them, and turned out that I am a MAP (Exclusive). Being attracted to Adults is just normal for people who were born with attraction to Adults or those who are attracted to both. In the end attractions are not something that can be picked up when wanted.

And the last question this raises in my mind is Are Teleiophiles Person the ones who would have relationships with MAPs, and are they the same who after growing up into adults would "be repulsed" to the people who are attracted to children? Why?

So what do you think?

I think for most, they simply don't have a rigid age of attraction. Therefore many can be attracted to children when they themselves are children, then move on to adults when they are adults. This is also surely why there are many non-exclusive MAPs, and also surely why there's more non-exclusive MAPs among the adult population than the antis would have you believe.

You right in that, will add about the exclusive. There are just many possibilities, unfortunately what have more widely accepted are just the attraction of most as you said.
