Yes. Nympholepsy in the specific sense that it refers to a sexual attraction to little girls is a euphemism used for pedophilia (the euphemism is used in the novel Lolita, for example, a fictional case study of a pedophile and child molester). It would therefore be diagnosed as either heterosexual (male) or homosexual (female) pedophilia. Pedophilia is a paraphilia and a serious disorder.
Nympholepsy is referred to in a literary or cultural sense to explain the phenomenon of being affected by a desire for something unattainable. It has been associated with some forms of sexual or romantic desire, either inappropriate within society or simply admiration for an unattainable object of desire. The word was used by British and other European authors for the most part.
