Shoujo ai or shoujo-ai (少女愛 lit. "girl-love") is used in English and some other languages as the opposite of shounen ai; it is either synonymous with yuri or refers to non-explicit yuri content.[1][2] That is, it refers to the love between girls.
In Japanese, on the other hand, it refers to older men's interest in young girls (lolicon).

Shoujo Ai Often synonymous with yuri, this can be thought of as somewhat less extreme. "Girl's Love", so to speak.

Le Yuri sonne d’avantage « pornographique » que Shôjo-ai, qui lui qualifie les relations soft ou suggestives entre femmes. [...] In France, Yuri tends to get a pornographic connotation while Shôjo-ai qualifies « soft » relationships or ambiguous friendships.
