As someone uniquely qualified to answer this question, yes, you are all children in comparison; always have been, and even more so now.
I do not as a consequence consider myself a pedophile, though. I think pedophilia is best viewed purely in terms of physical sexual maturity. Anything beyond that seems to me to be largely a function of cultural context. |
Pedophilia is a cultural/legal construct. Universal morality, independant of cultural context is impossible imo.
I think it's best viewed as a function of mental maturity. Firstly the ability to comprehend and take responsibility for the act and its consequences (and hence the ability to freely consent in a meaningful way). Secondly whatever intangible factor it is that creates the power imbalance in negotiations between most adults and most children.
Arbitrarily drawing the line at 18 may needlessly restrict the freedoms of the few under 18s that are above the 99th percentile of some measure of intelligence (I would have been among them many years ago). But frankly they can suck shit, as long as a law protects vastly more people than it restricts then it's justifiable.
