Teen boy lover (dictionary)

A teen boy lover, or TBL, is a boylover who is primarily attracted to boys old enough to be considered teenagers. While the strictest definition of the term would mean boys from the ages of 13 to 19 inclusive, the more general connotation of the term is taken to mean boys from puberty to the local age of consent (individuals who are attracted to "boys" above the local age of consent are rather seen as gay). However, in areas of the world where the age of consent is quite low, as in Canada, where 14 is the legal age, TBLs usually still describe themselves as such if they are attracted to boys 14 or older.
