    • 2008, Nancy Billias, Territories of Evil:
      The purpose of the website, according to Ashford, is to "explain my ideal of consensual childlove".
  2. (offensive) Paedophilic, hebephilic, or ephebophilic attraction without a gender preference; adult attraction towards both boys and girls.

Note: Considered offensive because most people believe that underage sexual relations are inherently abusive so consider referring to minor-attraction as "love" to be sugarcoating.
