Hebephilia 

Hebephilia refers to an adult's sexual preference for pubescent youths; the term was introduced by Glueck (1955).1 It differs from ephebophilia, which refers to the erotic interest in individuals in mid- to late adolescence,2 and from pedophilia, which refers to the erotic interest in prepubescent children.3 While individuals with a sexual preference for adults (i.e., teleiophiles) may have some sexual interest in pubescent-aged individuals,4 the term hebephilia is reserved for those who prefer pubescent-aged individuals over adults.

Pedo: Okay friend let me explain something since you seem to be new here, hebephilia is NOT the same thing as pedophilia. I'm sick and tired of you trolls popping up everywhere and spreading BLATANT misinformation. In many countries being a hebephile is considered normal and healthy and human beings have a natural attraction to girls who are going through puberty. being attracted to girls who are pre-pubescent is fucking sick and disgusting but only in the us does there seem to be this unwarranted taboo around healthy and normal male sexuality.

Being a Jewess myself (this is atually true of me, prplgrl,) it's great to run into a hebephile rather than a skinhead.
