Few studies of pedophilia or hebephilia have included questions about romantic attraction. We conducted an anonymous online survey of 306 men who self-reported as sexually attracted to children. The majority (72%) of participants reported they had fallen in love with a child in their lifetime. Participants reported greater feelings of attachment to children than feelings of infatuation. Though sexual attraction and falling in love were strongly correlated, they were not synonymous. Participants who reported pedohebephilia (defined in this study as attraction to prepubescent and pubescent children) were more likely to have fallen in love with a child than participants who reported pedohebe-ephebophilia (defined as attraction to prepubescent, pubescent, and post-pubescent minors). Also, participants with an exclusive attraction to children were more likely to have fallen in love with a child than participants who were equally attracted to children and adults. The results of this study were consistent with the suggestion of Seto (2012) that pedohebephilia could be considered a form of sexual orientation for age, which includes both sexual and romantic attraction.
很少有研究涉及恋童癖或恋少年癖，也没有涉及关于浪漫吸引力的问题。我们对 306 名自认为对儿童有性吸引力的男性进行了一项匿名在线调查。大多数（72%）参与者报告说，他们一生中曾爱上过一个孩子。参与者报告说，他们对孩子的依恋感大于迷恋感。尽管性吸引力和坠入爱河有很强的相关性，但它们并不是同义词。报告有恋童癖和恋少年癖（本研究中将其定义为对青春期前和青春期儿童的吸引力）的参与者比报告有恋童癖和少年恋癖（定义为对青春期前、青春期和青春期后未成年人的吸引力）的参与者更有可能爱上一个孩子。此外，只对儿童有吸引力的参与者比对儿童和成人有同等吸引力的参与者更有可能爱上一个孩子。本研究的结果与塞托（2012）的建议一致，即恋童癖和恋少年癖可以被认为是一种年龄的性取向，包括性吸引力和浪漫吸引力。
