This is one of the main reasons I post and respond on GC and VoA - to learn. Neoteny was something I was unaware of. I hope your reply is read by everyone here on GC especially by any interested professional lurkers and members who have a genuine interest in understanding the sub groups of paraphilia associated with adult/child sexual interaction.

Thanks for your reply. I'm tending toward thinking that an alliance between MAPs and ZOOs would be counterproductive. We need to find our own feet. We need to gain acceptance via professional channels: those psychologists and related academics who can see beyond societal stigmas and lend their weight to genuine scientifically based debunking of myths.
