Ephebophilia
Ephebophilia, also known as hebephilia, is the sexual attraction of an adult to adolescents.Ephebophilia is not considered a disorder or perversion. It is natural for adult men to have a sexual attraction to especially young girls. However, the people attracted to may be below the age of consent, and when they are models in pornography, this may be considered child pornography.
Often paedophilia and ephebophilia are confused. The reason for this is that definitions of the legal age and the biological age of a child conflict. According to some Catholics, the child abuse cases in the American church often have nothing to do with paedophilia, but instead are instances of ephebophilia.
