"not boys, so it is not completely analogous to paedophile"

What does this mean? Pedophilia is not somehow specific to males lusting after males. It's still completely analogous to pedophilia.



The term paedophile means an adult (of any gender) who is sexually attracted to prepubescent children of any gender. Lolicon (when applied to a person) means an adult (again, of any gender) who is sexually attracted specifically to prepubescent girls (not boys). Hence the terms are not equivalent.

A term used for the latter is shotacon, but it is not as common a word as the above.
