Infantophilia or nepiophilia is the sexual attraction to infants and toddlers, defined by various studies as children aged 0–4. Many paedophiles attracted to females may also experience a nepiophilic attraction, unlike the majority of male-attracted paedophiles who are more likely to experience a degree of ephebophilic attraction. However,the concise Oxford english dictionary twelfth edition(2011)contains an entry for neither infantophilia nor nepiophilia,which is odd considering that they are not swear words but technical terms.But then again,in the EU at least,when you write the word"pedophile" on your macbook the computer's spell-checking algorithm puts a red line underneath the word even though it is not misspelled.
