120. Because the term of art you are using is wrong

Pedophile is a clinical term that unfortunately has leaked into common usage in an incorrect way. You are using it in an incorrect way.

Ephebophilia is the correct term. Ephebophilics (sp) tend to have a one-sex preference while the rate of bisexual attraction occurs at a much higher rate in true pedophiles. The large majority of RC priest offenders were ephebophiliacs with a gay orientation.
