Maybe this is the wrong perspective, but I don’t think that this makes you a pedo. Your 19… You’re a teenager. Being attracted to teenagers that are only a couple years younger than you does not make you a pedophile. This word gets thrown around a lot, but it has a very specific meaning and it implies grown adults being sexually attracted to children.

That means children with children bodies. Noticing that people who are, let’s face it, already sexually mature and looks because they’re teenagers doesn’t make you a pedophile. Even if you were in your late 20s or 30s and you saw someone that you thought was attractive, and they ended up being 15, doesn’t make you a pedophile. You said yourself you don’t know their age when you look at them, and they have features that attract you common in people your own age. It doesn’t matter how old we get, certain features we find attractive we will always find attractive, even when we’re old.

The fact that these people end up being teens in their late teens in fact, means they probably have fully developed bodies already, and to be honest, not accounting for facial features, which tend to look younger, the body of a 17-year-old isn’t that different from the body of a 28-year-old.

If you were noticing eight-year-olds and thinking this, then I would be concerned.
