Is it normal to like boys 12-16?

I'm a 20-year-old male who's attracted to younger boys, mostly around 14/15 years old, but with a bit of variation. Ever since middle school I've been attracted to them and my attractions haven't changed at all. It's not like I want to rape them or force anyone to do anything, but I want to kiss and snuggle with them and just be around them. Is this normal?

    Well, In Sweden it's legal to fuck people that has turned fifteen so in MY opinion it is nothing wrong with being attracted to younger people, as long as they are TEENS and not CHILDREN.

    I`m 21 and slept with a guy aged 16 some months ago, no harm done there.

          It's actually "weirder" for a girl, since most girls like older guys. Not that it's wrong... just not very common.

            I just don't care too much about age if it's just sex. Would probably not date a 16 year old but could easily fuck one. Same as with people 30+

              Hopefully that's the age of consent in your jurisdiction XD

    You are an ephebophile, not a paedophile. Although the masses would not make the definition, the judicial system and psychology department would.

    Your attraction is deemed normal by psychologists as the age of the boys is not prepubescent, however acting on it is illegal and possibly damaging to the younger boy, however that is circumstantial.

    Normal? Eh, likely.
    Wise to act on? Hell no.

    I see a bunch of idiots here, frankly. If you meet and fall in love with a boy and he falls in love with you, and its sexually expressed, big fucking deal. Its NICE, love is always nice. Ignore the brainwashed hoi poloi. You judgmental morons make me want to puke.

      It's actually spelled "pedophile" or "pedophile", so if you're going to say it, at least spell it correctly. Also, pedophilia is for pre-pubescent, the technical terms are hebephilia and ephebophilia, though ephebophilia is actually normal in the general population, just look at how many people like "legal" models and pop stars.

    As long as you don't act on these thoughts, you're not a bad person. For your own sake and for the sake of innocent children whose bodies no one as the right to use for their own pleasure, it would be best to talk to someone professional so you can get to the root of why you feel this and you can move on with your life and be happy.

    If this type of union is illegal in your country, I strongly urge you to get therapy before you end up hurting someone.

    You could join the priesthood. They love to slide their cocks into adolesent boys.

    This is called hebephilia. It's bordering on pedophilia.

    My best advice would be to seek therapy before you end up hurting a (pubescent) child. And maybe get one of those twenty-something twinks that look way younger than they are.

      Western society deems hebephilia wrong, though in ancient times it was pretty normal :/

    Jail is a cakewalk for people with those desires. It's kind of like indoor camp. Follow your instincts.

  • Personally I don't see a problem with it so long as there's no sex involved.

    "Normal" is another story.

    Folks learn to spell CORRECTLY for you idiots. Try a dictionary or at least use spellcheck. The ass that misspelled pedophile, go back to school.
