Hi,
I recently read a thread on this forum from a nepiophlie that you can see here:
paraphilias/topic90782.html
I was struck by the comment from "myyoungboyspace". Do you really think that nepiophiles are shunned by pedophiles? Wow, that seems really unfair to me! If that's the case I apologize on behalf of myself for not having been more supportive.
Do you guys (nepiophiles) think that it could be because people are brought up with the term "pedophile" being a sickenly horrendous thing etc, and so "pedophile" related threads get more attention? There are an infinite number of "...philias" that exist out there that human beings identify with, but the big "P" seems to dominate due to the media. Is that culturally enforced, dyou think? I mean, to my knowledge, i haven't seen any threads so far where someone has said "Help! I think I might be a nepiophile!" It seems that nepiophiles are pretty sure of their attraction and tend to be somewhat less perturbed by their sexuality than pedophiles are?!?!
In the spirit of being supportive and wanting to learn more, I'd like to ask this question. I'm a bit in the dark as to what nepiophilia strictly refers to. I've read the "scientific" definition, which tends to suggest "under the age of 5", but is that accurate? Am i just being ignorant? Does your attraction include new born babies, or is it just toddlers? I'm intrigued because just in terms of physical form i would have assumed that a walking, babbling toddler is a different entity to a very young baby. To you folks, are they in the same category or does baby/toddler break into different categories?
