What is Amaros?
A Common Term for Ephebophilia, Pedophilia and Teleiophilia
Many have pointed out that there is no terminology that refers collectively to both the younger and older parties in an adult-minor relationship. Instead, there is a confusing array of terminology and euphemisms that refer to each. The younger party may be referred to as a teleiophile, gerontophile, young friend or young lover whilst the older party may be referred to as an ephebophile, pedophile, nepiophile, childlover, boylover or girllover. This paucity of common terminology is unique to adult-minor relationships. Other sexual orientations have a single term to refer to both partners — heterosexual or homosexual. For this reason, we have begun to use the term amaros to refer to the attraction between the partners in an adult-minor relationship and amarso to refer to each of the individuals in such a relationship.
Amaros and Amarso are actually acronyms. Amaros stands for Attraction between Minors and Adults that is Romantic Or Sexual, whilst Amarso stands for Adult or Minor Attracted Romantically or Sexually to the Other. The plural form of amarso is amarsi. While these terms are not meant to replace any of the other terms any of these parties may choose to refer to themselves, I hope that they will become useful to those who desire to refer to all of the parties in such relationships collectively. The terms are meant to be totally inclusive, making no distinction between gender, age or level of physical development.
I also believe that the terms are attractive from an etymological standpoint. Both terms are closely related to the verb “to love”. In Spanish, amar is the infinitive of the verb “to love”, whilst amaros means “to love one another” in Spanish. Amarsi has the same meaning in Italian.

The AmaroSymbol is a symplified version of the CGLogo. The blue and pink triangles are suggestive of the BLogo and GLogo, respectively, and are joined to indicate unity of purpose between men, women, boys and girls involved in the struggle for the acceptance of amarsi. Neither triangle is higher or lower than the other, showing the parity of the sexes and of the constituencies in this struggle. The two triangles form a diamond, long the symbol of value and perfection. The white circle in which the diamond lies symbolizes purity and continuity.
