philia

I should expand it for *philia other than humans.

The *philia range of words do not describe physical acts, much less "having sex".

In other words, it can be partially attributed to aristotle's philia

As far as I know, there aren't any studies that explore the net effects of "outlets" on pedo/hebe/ephebo-philia or sexual abuse.

Every -phobia has a -philia, though the word "homophobia" was made up about 30 years ago or so, maybe they weren't thinking about the Homophile.

Thought we all realized an internet-enabled fridge was just an artifact of our internet-philia and past lack of imagination.

As for the term philia, the love of friendship, it is used with added depth of meaning in Saint John's Gospel in order to express the relationship between Jesus and his disciples.

Of course the accusation of pedophilia and other philia's is an excellent blackmail and extortion method most often used by security services of all people!

Other scientists argue Pedophilia and others are perfectly natural, you even see this behaviour in other animals, including castrated male dogs trying to copulate with younger dogs.

My understanding of the distinction between forms of love comes from examining the four Greek words for love, where philia is compassionate love and eros is limerence, but this hadn't led to enough insight for me to see past the "angel" form and become comfortable with the real person.
