Not to split semantic hairs, but is there a different term for having sex with under-aged girls as opposed to children?

In other words I thought that pedophilia was technically with pre pubescent individuals. Would pubescent minors carry a different term?

Before anybody goes crazy on me, I’m not talking about a difference in morality I’m only talking about a difference in the terminology.

The technical term is Ephebophilia, "primary sexual interest in mid-to-late adolescents, generally ages 15 to 19".

Realistically, it is not a mental disorder for a male to be sexually aroused by teenage girls, otherwise we would have to consider all high school boys to be mentally disturbed. Well, perhaps they are, but that is another topic.
