From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chronophilia is a rarely-used term that 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. ^[1]

Gerontophilia refers to sexual attraction to the elderly among the non-elderly.^[2]
