I refer it as “Adult-Child Intimate Consensual Body Contact”.
I'd recommend using the term "willing" instead of "consensual." Unfortunately, people equivocate between the legal definition of consent (which is tautological), and moral general sense of consent relating to agency. So, if you argue ...
