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.

Hebephilia is an erotic age preference (chronophilia) for early pubescent youth, usually between 11-14 years of age. It is often used to distinguish an attraction to early pubescents from an attraction to prepubescent or late pubescent youth (described as pedophilia and ephebophilia respectively). A person with such attractions is called a hebephile. Researchers connected to CAMH tend to distinguish hebephilia ("preference for 11–14 year-olds") from ephebophilia ("preference for 15–19 year-olds").[1]

Controversy outline

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. The full details of the controversy are covered in the Wikipedia article below.

Philadelphia-based psychologist, Bruce Rind and Scottish queer theorist Richard Yuill produced a large paper arguing against the idea that Hebephilia is pathological.[2]
