> After reading this thread I have to say that IMO people are 
misinterpreting the use of the term.  I don't think that the original 
poster is saying that the love of a teen male for another teen male 
is ephebophiliac. The  definition I find online is that it is the 
term for an *adult* male being  attracted to an *adolescent* male.  
At least that my understanding of the  OPs comments.  
  
As for the reason that there is no special term for teen female/teen  
male, blame the Ancient Greeks.  ;-)

If you'll view the following link to an earlier post of mine, you'll 
note that I took a class studying ancient cultures last year (ie. 
Classical Studies) & in Ancient Greece, males were frequently the 
apple of the eye, esp. very early on in nudity & sexuality.  By the 
time Ancient Rome started to spring up, the trend had solidly shifted 
to females as the preferred nudity & sexuality object.  It's also why 
gay & lesbian sex & romance was more prevalent in Ancient Greece than 
Rome, esp. in the early days of the culture.
