Gerontophilia
Chronophilia is a rarely used term that refers to a group of patterns of sexual arousal in which a person's sexuoerotic age is discordant with his or her actual chronological age and is concordant with the age of the partner. The term was coined by noted sexologist and psychologist John Money.
This is not directly related to ephebophilia, gerontophilia, or teleiophilia, in that they are patterns of arousal that favor members of a different age-group, 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.
Pedophilia (including infantophilia) differs from all these conditions in that it is a clinically-recognized disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. [1]
