Korephilia
Korephilia is a paraphilia and sexual attraction of a woman towards a pubescent or postpubescent girl. Some sources describe it as lesbian hebephilia or lesbian ephebophilia while others describe it as the feminine equivalent to pederasty, which constitutes an adult male and young boy.[1] The word korephilia comes from Greek, specifically, κόρη kórē meaning "girl" and φιλία philíā meaning "love".[2] In contemporary times there has been an increase in depictions of korephilic relations in popular culture. These include The Vagina Monologues
