It is also a broader term than Boy Lover, since it also includes those who are attracted to girls as well. Strictly speaking from a phychological point of view, peodophillia only refers to those who are attracted to pre-pubescent children. MAA would also encompass all those who are attracted to people below the legal age of consent. I first saw the MAA term used over at Open Hands, about 6 or 6 months ago, it quickly became the prefeered terminology over there. |
