My personal belief is that most pedophiles can be put into two groups:
Those developmentally stunted, who can’t see themselves as adults and therefore lust for people of their own ‘mental age’.
And those who have a thing for power, and having an erection over controlling a minor, guiding them through everything and having full control over them.
There may be a third option - these people who try hard to argue that pedophilia and ephebophilia aren’t the same thing, but I just write them off as idiots.
