It's a distinction some make, where pedophiles go for the kid kids, like prepubescent, where ephebophiles want the ones who have at least started puberty but are still kids.

    Hold my beer, it's even more complicated

    • Infantophiles go for 0-5 (up until developed consciousness)
    • Pedophiles ~6-beginning of puberty
    • Hebephiles - going through puberty
    • Ephebophiles - after puberty but before adulthood
    • Teleiophiles - 18-late 30s
    • Mesophiles - 40s-60s
    • Gerontophiles - 70+

    Don't ask me why I know, I just like getting to the grit of things.

    Actually it's sort of scientific consensus. Not that it matters much for casual conversation (do not fuck minors, what's so hard about that), but the distinction is real.

    obligatory nerdy note that all those -philias refer to attraction, and not action; pedophile might not abuse children but still be pedophile; child abuser is not necessarily pedophile
