pederast
Noun: A man who engages in sexual activity, typically anal intercourse, with a boy, where the boy is the passive or receptive partner. This term specifically denotes the adult male participant in such an act.
The word "pederast" is a formal and clinical term, often used in legal, medical, or historical contexts. It carries a strong negative connotation, as it describes criminal and abusive behavior. It is not used in casual conversation.

- Child molester (broader term, not gender-specific)
- Pedophile (a related but distinct psychiatric term referring to a primary sexual attraction to prepubescent children, which may or may not involve acting on the attraction)
It is critical to distinguish "pederast" from the more general term "pedophile." A pederast has committed specific sexual acts with a boy. A pedophile has a persistent sexual attraction to children, which may not have been acted upon. The terms are not interchangeable, though they are often conflated. "Pederast" is also distinct from terms describing homosexual relations between consenting adult men.
