A Minor-Attracted Person (MAP) is someone who experiences sexual or romantic attractions towards people under the local age of majority. Unlike the term Minor-Attracted Adult, minors themselves, may be classified as such. Whilst attraction to minors is probably very common (see Research), explicit identification as an MAP can been seen as a political act. As a result, MAP self-identification is sometimes incorrectly assumed to be a disclosure of pedophilia.
Origin
The term originates from the late 00s era, was popularized by Newgon.com and other blogs such as ATC. It was then adopted by B4U-Act, which was already using the term "Minor-Attracted Adult", from which MAP derived. There is one example of the term being suggested on BoyChat as early as 2001, but no further examples have been found in the intervening period, suggesting it did not catch on.
