They are definitions whether we know them or not and believe it or not but there are such people out there. It's where these definitions are derived from that make such a difference and to think that the greeks came up with that kind of word "Paedophile" not only makes me sick but makes you think twice about their culture and their own origination. The word "Greek" comes from the word Greco which means in Egyptian thief.
Nobert, you always come up trumps in your articles.

I don't mean to offend anyone either, but the eccentricity of it and their language will freak you out if you understand it.
#5 by Anna Ski, Jun 24, 2008
A pure example is the word "Triorchidism", as Nobert has described it as above. A man with three testes? That's outrageous and I think that language is on an ego trip itself.

Lots of complicated words here. I\'m not sure about your definition of narcissism. I didn\'t think that it had anything to do with sex - just being obsessed with oneself. I could be wrong.

Also, could you check the spelling of phidophilia (paedophilia). Is this a different spelling?

Nobert,

You never let me down. That was an interesting article. Some I knew, other I didn't. Well written. How did you come up with the idea? I never would have thought about this subject. Looking forward to your next work.

very interesting... I remember helping my sister studying for her Phsyche exam and the teacher for every question said \'Barney loves sex, to get sexual arousal he has to fondal woman\'s shoes. What kind of disorder does he have?\" He went through a lot of them... I just remember rolling in the car because we were all laughing so much

Thank goodness that some things are kept private!

Nobert,
The American spelling for Phidophilia is Pedophilia and a person that engages in sex with a child is called a Pedophile. The spelling Anne Lyken-Garner gave is also correct. If I'm not mistaken I believe the brittish spell it the way she has it spelled. I've been doing research on this subject in order to write an article about it. Some of this I knew, and the rest I didn't know. You've written several good articles, and like them, this is a very informative article. Great work.
