A NOMAP Flag

NOMAP (Non-Offending Minor Attracted Person) or ACNOMAP (which specifies Anti-contact) are forks of the term Minor Attracted Person, used to elaborate that the user is non-offending.[1] Those who use it, feel they must declare upfront - their refusal to engage in unlawful sex with a minor or use child pornography/other prohibited materials where they are illegal. The term is essentially used as a synonym for anti-contact (anti-c), even though research from Bailey (2016) appears to indicate that just as high a proportion of pro-c MAPs are non-offending. Many NOMAPs advocate the use of drawn erotica or sex-dolls, because they feel they may have to use them at some point. Prostasia Foundation are one charity who have published articles on this topic.

This term is thought[2] to have gained in popularity during 2018 alongside the term MAP, during the the social-media enabled MAP Flag controversy. NOMAP attracts media attention across the political spectrum, due to its "entryist" implications.[3][4][5]

"NOMAP" has been criticized by some (particularly first-wave and early second-wave) MAP activists and allies, who refuse to accept a burden of proof on their behavior and deem it to have orwellian, medico-legal overtones.[6][7][8]

Gateway Theory

There are varying takes on the merits and long-term survivability of NOMAP ideology. These include the view, shared by some neutral MAPs and allies, that while lacking in scientific merit, NOMAP ideology is one necessary part of a larger, credible movement. Older MAPs from pro-contact communities such as BoyChat tend to be dismissive towards this argument, refusing to grant NOMAP ideology any strategic credibility.

NOMAP-aligned organizations

  • B4U-Act - Is a service provider for Non-Offending MAPs. Their platform is NOMAP compatible, however the organization does not take an official anti-contact position.
  • Virtuous Pedophiles - Is an explicitly ACNOMAP/Medicalist organization.
  • Prostasia Foundation - Technically, this is a charity that provides services to MAPs and not a MAP organization.

We welcome counter-arguments to the above.
