A common anecdotal theme I have noticed is that peoples opinions on this matter largely depend on the age they are. People in their late teens, all throughout their twenties and into their early thirties generally seem to be much less rigid about age of consent laws. I can think of at least a dozen people in their twenties off the top of my head who have expressed an opinion indicating that they find underage teenagers to be attractive and sexually desirable, and that they wouldn't mind sleeping with them. The people I hear complaining the loudest about this mentality tend to be in their forties, fifties or older. Now I don't think that we can really generalize to age too much, but it definitely seems to me that ephebephilia is much more accepted in younger generations than it is in older generations. Of course I also believe that all of the older males are ephebephiles as well, they just seem much more concerned about keeping up a facade.
