Yes, for some reason. Dissy uses that term incorrectly. And, I've been wanting to bring this to his attention, as his essays has this incorrect uses too.

I've yet to read the whole essay, but this has always been the term used to describe minors that are attracted to adults. Of course, we have two other terms coined by Lindsay Ashford (not sure if they could be helpful here or not).


Teleiophilia (from Greek teleios, "full grown") is erotic or sexual interest in adults. Teleiophilia is not restricted by the teleiophile's age, from what I've read. Sex-specific attractions to persons are "gynephilia and androphilia". Teleiophilia was also called adultophilia.


Note: Part of that last bit is from Wiki. Hence, how I learned.
