AGAP not MAP

[ephebo2026]

i dont class myself as a map. as its too broad . 1-17?? no, i like people who i have large age gap with, which could be anyone from ?? years to , 30 even. AGAP= age gap attracted person. anyone who like 18 year olds likes 17 year olds. they look the same. another term could be ephebophile with hebephilic tendencies. AGAP is broad too, and can include leonardo decaprio!

In my opinion, it's not really an age gap if both involved are adults.

Age gaps can include adults. I have met many people, including minors and adults, with age gap kinks.

There are minors who prefer age gaps such as a 13 year old girl who prefers 16 to 20 and there are adults who may be 20 and prefer 30 or older.

It's an interesting sexuality for sure, but I believe including minors as part of AGAP also puts it on the MAP spectrum too.

If the goal is to de-stigmatize adult attraction to minors (or prepubescent children specifically, since a preference for them is out of the ordinary whereas most people are literal MAPs) a broader age-gap tolerance movement might be more effective since people respond to personal incentive and being able to connect/relate their interests to the interests of whoever is protesting in favor of some kind of increased consideration for them. All teleiophiles are attracted to minors and if you live long enough, you will be attracted to people who are significantly younger than you are. This wouldn't help if a line is drawn between age-gap relationships among adults and minor-adult relationships though so I guess the question is on what grounds are age-gap relationship between adults permissible (i.e. what would make a relationship/relations bad) and do they logically imply tolerating adult-minor relationships as well?

It's a bit confusing. I don't feel comfortable with any label. Perhaps “ephebophile” is the most appropriate for me, but it's very individualistic... and I don't want to forget that I'm part of a large group of people who are not ephebophiles (but pedophiles, hebephiles, or even, as you mentioned, teleophiles who are only attracted to adults but are beginning to encounter the same social rejection that we encounter).
I think we need to find a term that is clear and encompasses all people who face legal or social problems because they are attracted to younger people.
Mainly because doing so will multiply our ranks exponentially.
