	In 2009, Psychologist [[Ray Blanchard]] argued for a distinction between pedophilia and hebephilia based on [[plethysmography]] studies. He suggested that these two categories should be pathologised as a single disorder (pedohebephilia) in the [[DSM]]. This attracted controversy from others in the field, such as [[Karen Franklin]], who argued that hebephilia represents a normative adaptation from an evolutionary science perspective.
