“As can be noted in the Flow⟳ Chart 122 men actually fit the definition of hebephile in that they had committed a sexual offense against a female between the ages of 12 and 17.”

“The hebephile sees the female adolescent as having adult development but vulnerability. There may also be a sense⟳ of safety from rejection because the hebephile may have⟳ had actual or perceived poor sexual performance with adult partners. The ephebophile is even more likely to reflect⟳ the emphasis on youth in society; in this case, the gay culture's emphasis on youthful appearance.”
