aware of the study by Hall, Hirschman & Oliver in 1995, about the attraction to little girls among ordinary heterosexual men. I like two other ones:
H.E. Barbaree & W.L. Marshall: Erectile responses among heterosexual child molesters, father-daughter incest offenders, and matched non-offenders: Five distinct age preference profiles. Canadian Journal of Behavioural Science 21(1) Jan. 1989, pp. 70-82, DOI: 10.1037/h0079791
Here 18% of the sample of ordinary heterosexual men respond equally to images of women, teenage girls or little girls, while a further 14% respond equally to women and girls in the age range 14-24.
O. Fedora & al., Sadism and other paraphilias in normal controls and aggressive and nonaggressive sex offenders, Archives of Sexual Behavior 21(1) Feb. 1992, pp. 1-15, DOI: 10.1007/BF01542713
They compare paedophilia with other “paraphilias” such as sadism, voyeurism, exhibitionism, etc. While the latter seem correlated, paedophilia is not. Also 18% (11/60) of the sample of ordinary men respond equally or more to images of young children of one gender (usually girls) than to adults.
Hence the greatest sexual minority is probably heterosexual hebephilia. But most will not “come out”, we see men thinking of themselves as ordinary heterosexuals, but who enjoy looking at 13 yo fashion models and fantasizing about “Lolitas”, or artists making cartoons such as Disney’s Tinkerbell, whose fairies are just 12 yo girls with wings on their backs.
I think that girl-love is much misunderstood, especially by those who seem destined to experience it.
