Me and Sliceblue became buddies in his last months here on RU. I enjoyed reading his stories and he had the stomach to go where I wouldn't myself. What we had in common was being both ephebophile.
Sliceblue's works/fantasies show signs of attraction for teenagers, among other things. If this is so, then it's something we have in common.
If I had known then about AO3 and SexStories69, I would have advised Sliceblue to go over there, where you can write basically anything. SexStories69 is a shitty trash can of a place where real-life pedophiles write stuff, but it remains one rare space where I'm allowed to share teenage fantasies that have become increasingly viewed as immoral. There's also the valid point of free speech in art; as soon as you have censorship, you can no longer have true art, for true art goes hand in hand with life as it is.
You'll find the real versions of some of my stories over there. I hope Sliceblue will read this post and go to AO3 and SexStories69, where he's bound to quickly build a fanbase. People will love his stories over there.
Sliceblue got banned from Kristensboard as well due to very strict rules around posting UA content, but then the rules have changed very drastically over there and it's now even stricter than here. Moderators won't even let you post a clothed picture if the girl looks remotely under 20 -- I got a picture pulled that showed actress Ann Blyth barefoot when she was 22.
Unlike pedophilia, ephebophilia is the lust for post-puberty teenagers, so basically you have a man who feels strongly drawn to girls who are 15-19 years old, and you can't help it. You never know you're ephebophile before you're well into your twenties and find out you still feel attracted to 16-yo girls just like you did when you were 16 yourself.
In the 1950 movie The Asphalt Jungle, there's a sixty-year old bandit who ends up getting caught because he takes the time to give coins to a girl so he can watch her dance by the jukebox; this is a great Code-era example of an ephebophile.
It is a lot better to know and understand what it is that makes you feel this way than to remain in denial and the toy of your moods and wants. This is how I have found ways to go through adult life and remain with my wife.
