But Tom, It seems so unfair that you should complain after our 50 word tete a tete and handholding in Bangkok at the restaurant with the young things that you procured. But pedophilia has no semantic link to sexual preference, I think. The Greeks would call it simply "love of children." To make it abnormal or explicitly sexually perverse you need some additional component for the word and act. The philia part is not even sexual -- bibliophile would be a sexual preference for books if that were so. My meaning was that when young I had a sexual passion for every thing (I even remember an attraction for a handheld spray device) that I restricted to a too narrow compass too soon, and have had to widen as I learned. When I was young there were no sexual outlets at all for children except cold showers. Now we have solitary sessions with prosecutor's reports, TV shows, web pornography with a borrowed credit card number. I couldn't find in all the open library a definition of the basic words that now are in the dictionaries. What a bore! Besides, the etymological attribution to "New Latin" is a fraud. Pedo is from Greek as is phile. Thanks for the interest, though.
