NOMAP (Non-Offending Minor Attracted Person) is a neologism used to define an MAP. 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-contact 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 to have gained in popularity during 2018 alongside the term MAP, during the the social-media enabled MAP Flag storm. NOMAP attracts media attention across the political spectrum, due to its "entryist" implications.

"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.
