 * 2) * 1989 Intervention Strategies for Sexual Abuse page 94 (and also page 97 of Tough Customers: Counseling Unwilling Clients)
 * The hebephile sees the female adolescent as having adult development but vulnerability. There may also be a sense of safety from rejection because the hebephile may have had actual or perceived poor sexual performance with adult partners. The ephebophile is even more likely to reflect the emphasis on youth in society; in this case, the gay culture's emphasis on youthful appearance.
