This area of the boards is expressly for support and help for those who are currently in or have survived abuse or assault. It is also for those seeking information or discussion about abuse or assault. Please make every effort in this space to be supportive and sensitive. Posts in this area may or do describe abuse or assault explicitly.
This area of the boards is also not an area where those who are themselves abusing anyone or who have abused or assaulted someone may post about doing that or seek support. We are not qualified to provide that kind of help, and that also would make a space like this feel profoundly unsafe for those who are being or who have been abused. If you have both been abused and are abusing, we can only discuss harm done to you: we cannot discuss you yourself doing harm to others. If you are someone engaging in abuse who would like help, you can start by seeking out a mental healthcare provider.

A question
My friend (let's call her Ana) was 20 when she had vaginal sex with a man who was 25. My mum and I think it's pedophilia since psychologists told Ana she is infantile.Now,what happened to Ana was legal,but do you think that ,MORALLY SPEAKING ,it was pedophilia?

Re: A question
Pedophilia is about an adult person being attracted to a pre-pubescent (physically so) person. So no, that is not at all what you appear to be describing here. What you appear to be describing here are two people around the same age being sexual with one another. That said, I'm not very comfortable with us discussing someone, including something their therapist apparently said about them privately, who isn't here to speak for themselves like this, so I'm closing this thread.
