Usage notes
- The use of this term is highly controversial. Some sexologists and psychiatrists resort to it to avoid the stigma associated with the heavily-loaded pedophile; however, many other people see it as a distasteful euphemism and a sign that the speaker is sympathetic to, or even supports or advocates for, such people.
