Usage note
- The template Template:rfc-sense does not use the parameter(s):

Please see Module:checkparams for help with this warning.(Can we clean up(+) this sense?)Lua error in Module:parameters at line 360: Parameter 1 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "{{{1}}}" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E. Many psychologists recommend against using the term pedophilia to denote sexual activities with children, because not all people with a sexual preference for prepubescent children (i.e., pedophilia) commit such acts, and child molesters often lack a strong sexual interest in prepubescent children.[1][2] Furthermore, psychological texts define pedophilia as a preference for specifically prepubescent children;[3] preferential attraction to older children is known as hebephilia or ephebophilia.
