Chronophilia
Chronophilia is a rarely-used term which refers to a group of
paraphilias of the type in which the paraphile's sexuoerotic age is discordant with his or her actual chronological age and is concordant with the age of the partner. It was coined by
John Money. This is not directly related to
infantophilia,
pedophilia,
ephebophilia, gerontophilia, or teleiophilia, in that they are merely paraphilias that favour members of a different age, without their
sexuoerotic age being different.
Teleiophilia is a rarely-used term coined by
Kurt Freund, meaning a
minor's or
adult's
sexual attraction to adults. As this is the norm in most societies, it is not usually considered a paraphilia.
Gerontophilia refers to
sexual attraction to the elderly among the non-elderly.
