Talk:Chronophilia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Teleiophilia [...]is the norm in most societies" ?! Reference? I'd rather say the current societal norm is for adolescents to be attracted to people about their own age, not to considerably older people. In fact sex between an adult and a minor is seen as a criminal offence, even rape in some states (not that I agree with that).--84.188.134.80 01:40, 20 August 2005 (UTC
"Yet in society years generations ago kings used to have childern (Mostly female little girls) as sex slaves, disgusting acts like this make me sick".......
User:George: As a teenager, I feel the need to say, Shut up!!! The author was referring to the fact that many teenagers have crushes on older women. Grow up!!!

[edit] references please
Please reference where you got all these terms. Verify and source or be nominated for deletion. I mean, valid topic and all, but the terminology doesn't seem notable, including chronophilia. If I can't find the word chronophilia in a news source, I'm going to nominate this page for deletion on that basis. There's probably already a milf page. Lotusduck 05:13, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Definition change
Changed the definition of teleiophilia as it's not ONLY an attraction of children to adults. This link - [article link APA paper with cited sources] - shows that the article clearly defines a "teleiophile" as "having one’s primary erotic interest in adults" in the context of discussing the sexuality of adults.

Oh, now I get why it's always said it's the norm in most societies. Before I thought it was making reference to that american pie milf thing. Cool, good work. I'll try and add that reference to the page, too. Lotusduck 22:35, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
It's only a form of chronophilia when possessed by a child. // paroxysm (n) 21:03, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Verification
So... what else on this page needs to be verified? Because if it's all good and everyone feels comfortable with it now, the notification on top should be removed.
- The gernatophilia or however it's spelled should have a reference. I mean, I'm not taking whoever wrote that in bad faith, but we need to know what feild it comes from, in general, it needs a reference. And I'm not sure if I remember the term chronophilia being used in the linked paper or not. Seeing it used by professionals is important for future editors. Lotusduck 03:58, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

- It's listed at dictionary.com... I know that isn't use by a professional but... hey, it's in a dictionary. Ginnna 20:56, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- It's used in Protoparaphilia (PDF) and the book Aging and Gender in Literature: Studies in Creativity: "[John] Money goes on to describe chronophilia, or age disparity ..."
- I'll add a reference for gerontophilia.

The term Chronophilia however, does not have a dictionary.com entry. Not saying it's made up, but it does need some reference. Lotusduck 02:04, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dr. Tony White mentions chronophilia
Ok, bear with me here.
I found an article by Dr. Tony White which mentions chronophilia (I hope that link to the article works... it shows the cached webpage with "chronophilia" highlighted in yellow... in case it doesn't work, just find his article here and check out the fourth paragraph up from the end of the section entitled "The Luck Factor In Life Long Monogamy" or go here and check out page 9 which, by the way, also mentions gerontophilia).
I found that Tony White is a psychologist of 20 years and a transactional analyst of 17 years. He lives in Australia and is a member of the WPATA (Western Pacific Association of Transactional Analysis).
So... this counts as chronophilia being mentioned by a professional, right? Ginnna 08:27, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removed verify tag
Heh... also added tildes to my history note because I haven't been on wikipedia for a while and forgot that you don't have to tilde your history notes to get your name on them....... yeah... anyway, being that everything now seems to be verified/referenced/cited/authenticated, I removed the "verify" tag. If anyone feels things still need verification, let everyone know! (This IS where I add the tildes, right? hee hee...) Ginnna 18:24, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Teleiophilia
This article claims that the tem teleiophilia was coined by Kurt Freund. However, all the sources I can find list the term as being invented in 2000 (after Freund died) by Ray Blanchard. I found that in Freund's papers, he uses the terms gynephilia and androphilia to indicate an erotic preference for adults. I will change it unless someone can put me right. ntennis 08:11, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- Shouldn't it be mentioned that teleiophilia generally refers to children/adolescents being attracted to adult individuals, instead of their peers? 193.217.55.223 17:24, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
