A MAP is a minor-attracted person or minor-attracted people (MAPs). This is a term meant to catch multiple categorizations of attraction to minors under one umbrella, and was created by researchers and one MAP organization, B4U-ACT. The idea of minor attraction is not to make something ordinary like a 21-year-old attracted to a 17-year-old unusual, but to recognize the wide range of people who are attracted to people much younger than them and may feel distress about this attraction, and therefore need support.
