Chronophilia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term chronophilia was used by John Money that he defined as a form of paraphilia in which an individual experiences sexual attraction limited to individuals of particular age ranges.[1][2] The term has not been widely adopted by sexologists, who instead use terms that refer to the specific age range in question.
[edit] Sexual preferences based on age
- Paedophilia is a psychological disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a sexual preference for prepubescent children.[3][4] According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), paedophilia is specified as a form of paraphilia in which a person either has intense sexual urges towards children, and experiences recurrent sexual urges towards and fantasies about children that he or she has acted on or that cause distress or interpersonal difficulty.[5] The diagnosis can be made under the DSM or ICD criteria for persons age 16 and older.[6] The disorder is common among persons who commit child sexual abuse;[7][8][9] although some offenders do not meet the clinical diagnosis standards for paedophilia.[10] Nepiophilia and infantophilia describe a sexual preference for toddlers and infants (usually ages 0–3).[11]
- The term paedohebephilia refers to an expansion and reclassification of paedophilia with subgroups in the DSM-5.[12]. It refers more broadly to sexual attractions. People who are dysfunctional as a result of it are diagnosed with paedohebephilic disorder. People are broken down into types based on the idea of being attracted to one, the other or both. Hebephilia is described below.
- Hebephilia and ephebophilia are sexual preference for pubescent and post-pubescent youths, respectively.[13][14] The term hebephilia was introduced by Glueck (1955).[15] Kurt Freund (and Aleš Kolářský) use the term adolescentophilia for a sexual preference of pubescent and/or adolescent youths. In this context, the adolescentophilia focused on boys is ephebophilia (from the Greek ephebos), the adolescentophilia focused on girls is hebephilia (the terms korophilia and parthenophilia are sometimes used in similar meanings). Freund and Kolářský differentiate both ephebophilia and hebephilia by the preferred age: ephebophilia and hebephilia I (age of early puberty), II (middle adolescence) and III (late adolescence).[16]
- Teleiophilia (from Greek teleios, "full grown") is erotic or sexual interest in adults.[17] Teleiophilia is not restricted by the teleiophile's age.[citation needed] Sex-specific attractions to persons are "gynephilia and androphilia". Teleiophilia was also called adultophilia.[18]
- Gerontophilia and graeophilia describe erotic or sexual preference for the elderly.[19]
