Nymphet

A nymphet is a sexualized adolescent girl. The term was coined by Vladimir Nabokov in the novel Lolita, in which the main character, a pedophile, uses it to describe the girls aged 9 to 13 to whom he is attracted.

Ephebophilia, as most strictly defined, refers only to an attraction, not to sexual activity (although sexual activity can be involved). It is used in contrast with pedophilia, which is an attraction to pre-pubescent individuals. In more casual usage, however, pedophilia is often used more broadly in the western world, to describe an attraction to any person younger than the legal age of consent.
