What do we label these types of people?
Pedophiles refer to any adult that has a sexual attraction to children, but what about teenagers, or preteens that are sexually attracted to adults? Also, what about teenagers that are attracted to children, or vice-versa? What do we call them?

Bewitched, Beguiled, Mesmerized, Infatuation, Puppy Love were terms used before the term Pedophilia was invented. Children are not sexually attracted to adults...only seems that way because they want to please.

I don't think there is a word for teens and preteens that are sexually attracted to adults well not that I know of but I think that if a teenager is sexually attracted to children they can be called a pedophile... I don't know.. I don't think a child can be sexually attracted to teens or adults it seems impossible

Teenagers that are attracted to children are also paedophiles because paedophilia consists of sexual feelings directed towards children.
