Chronophilia

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The chronophilia ( gr. Χρόνος chronos "time" φίλος philos "friend") is an exclusive or predominant sexual preference for love partners a certain age group. Chronophilia is a collective term for various, partly strictly forbidden, partly socially but largely tolerated sexual preferences and deviances .

Preferences for children

The sexual preference for pre-pubescent children is called pedophilia. The terms nepiophilia or infantophilia are occasionally used for the preference for infants or toddlers up to the age of about three, which is very rare .

Preferences for teenagers

In the course of the 20th century, several terms were coined for sexual preferences for adolescents; in North America, a subdivision into hebephilia as a preference for adolescent boys and girls and ephebophilia as a tendency towards older adolescents has become established. The age ranges given for the two terms vary considerably, however . In German-speaking countries, the term ephebophilia is not used for both genders, but rather specifically describes an interest in male adolescents. The corresponding preference for girls is known as parthenophilia .

Adult preferences

As teleiophilia ( Gr. Τέλειος téleios "adult" φίλος philos "friend") the sexual preference for adult people is referred to. The term is believed to have been coined by Canadian sex researcher Ray Blanchard , who used it in a publication in 2000. Teleiophilia is the most common chronophilia.

The term describes the predominant or exclusive sexual responsiveness to people whose physical development has been completed. The coveted sexual partners have reached Tanner stage V, some authors give a minimum age of 17, 18, 19 or 20 years for the definition. The tendency can be differentiated from gerontophilia; an upper age limit of 45 years is occasionally set in this context. If adult women are desired, it is also referred to as gynaphilia , the preference for adult men can also be referred to as androphilia .

Studies aimed specifically at researching a teleiophilic tendency are rarely carried out; the term is used almost exclusively in sex science publications to distinguish it from other sexual preferences. It is also used to describe a sexual interest of adolescents in puberty in adults, in this context the Dutch anthropologist Diederik Janssen coined the expression peripubertal teleiophilia .

In addition, the sexual preference for the elderly is known as gerontophilia. Magnus Hirschfeld used the term gerontophilia to denote a sexual interest especially in older men, whereas he described the preference for old women as graophilia . At the beginning of the 20th century, the term presbyophilia was also used for a tendency towards older people .
