Noun

childlover (plural childlovers)

  1. (offensive) A pedophile or hebephile.
    Hyponyms: boylover, girllover
  2. (offensive) A pedophile, hebephile, or ephebophile who is attracted to children regardless of gender; an adult who is attracted to 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.
