Hebephilia

Hebephilia is a term referring to adults who are mainly or only attracted to pubescent adolescents generally aged 11–14.[1] The term does not refer to any adult who finds pubescent people attractive, but one who finds them attractive largely or completely to the exclusion of post-pubescents.[2]
