    Are we really entering the story arc of the US downfall where mainstream Republicans start saying, “actually I think ephebophilia and hemephilia are ok, it’s in the bible”, just like many of their further-right counterparts already do?

    JFC America.

        Ephebophilia covers 15 to 19, you will not find 15-17 year olds in any legal porn. And yeah anyone 30+ who’s primary sexual preference is 15-19yos (which is what ephebophilia is) is at best a predatory loser if they act on it, and likely a statutory rapist.

        Interesting thing to choose to downplay. You Republican?

      Yeah, it does get very ick when you start hearing people doing their “well, actually” thing when it comes to things like this. Even if they are supposedly clinically different things (?), it’s all still very manipulative and predatory. And for those that are underage, illegal.
