Chronophilia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected fromTeleiophiles)

The termchronophiliawas used by psychologistJohn Moneyto describe varying forms of romantic preference and/or sexual fixation limited to individuals of particular age ranges. Some such fixations, specifically those towards prepubescents and those towards the elderly, constitute types ofparaphilia.[1][2][3]The term has not been widely adopted bysexologists,who instead use terms that refer to the specific age range in question. An arguable historical precursor wasRichard von Krafft-Ebing's concept of "age fetishism".[4]Importantly, chronophilia are technically not determined by age itself, but by human sexual maturity stages, such as body type, secondary sexual characteristics and other visible features, particularly as measured by the stages of theTanner scale.[5]

Preferences based on age

[edit]
Continuous distribution of the male chronophilic population divided by age of interest.
  • Romantic and/or sexual attraction to minors
    • Pedohebephiliarefers to an expansion and reclassification of pedophilia and hebephilia with subgroups, proposed during the development of theDSM-5.[6]It refers more broadly to sexual fixations. Under the proposed revisions, people who are dysfunctional as a result of it would be diagnosed with pedohebephilic disorder. People would be broken down into types based on the idea of being fixated on one, the other or both of the subgroups. The proposed revision was not ratified for inclusion in the final published version of DSM-5.
      • Infantophilia(sometimes callednepiophilia) is a subtype of pedophilia describing a sexual fixation on children less than 5 years old (includingtoddlersandinfants).[7]
      • Pedophiliais apsychological disorderin which an adult or older adolescent experiences a romantic and/or sexual attraction to prepubescent youth. (Around 5-12 years of age)[8][9][10]According to the fifth edition of theDiagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders(DSM-5), pedophilia is aparaphiliain which a person has intense sexual urges towards children, and experiences recurrent sexual urges towards andfantasiesabout children. Pedophilic disorder is further defined as psychological disorder in which a person meets the criteria for pedophilia above, and also either acts upon those urges, or else experiences distress or interpersonal difficulty as a consequence.[11][12]The diagnosis can be made under the DSM orICDcriteria for persons age 16 and older.[13][14]
    • Fixation on adolescents
      • Hebephiliais a romantic and/or sexual fixation on early-pubescent youths in Tanner Stages 2 and 3 (around ages 9–14).Ephebophiliais a romantic/sexual fixation on late-pubescent youths in Tanner Stage 4 (around ages 14–21).[15][16]The termhebephiliawas introduced by Bernard Glueck in 1955.[17]Ephebophilia is not classified as a paraphilia, due to overlaps with teleiophilia and overlaps and similarities between Tanner Stages 4 and 5. Forensic psychologist and sexologist Dr.Michael Setohas noted "" older adolescents are reproductively viable and the fact that typically men are attracted to older adolescents, as reflected in self-report, psychophysiological, and pornography use studies (Freund, Seeley, Marshall, & Glinfort, 1972; Symons, 1979) ".[18][19]
  • Attraction to adults
    • Teleiophilia(from Greektéleios,"full grown" ) is a romantic and/or sexual preference for adults (around 18 to late 30's early 40's), specifically for adult body types, as it encompasses attraction towards postpubertals, the sexually mature.[20]Dr.Michael Setostates: "A sexual preference in those in late adolescence who show many signs of sexual maturity (Tanner stage 4) or who are sexually mature (Tanner stage 5) is not representative of hebephilia; instead, it can be described as ephebophilia or teleiophilia (Hames & Blanchard, 2012)."[21][22]The term was coined byRay Blanchardin 2000 and has seen less public adoption than some newer terms.[23]
    • Mesophilia(derived from the Greek "mesos", "intermediate" ) is a romantic and/or sexual preference for middle-aged adults (around late 40's and 60's). The term was coined byMichael Setoin 2016.[24]
    • Gerontophiliais a romantic and/or sexual preference for the elderly. (70's+)[25]
