Gerontophilia Sexual Disorders

Gerontophilia - Symptom, Cause and Treatment

This is an attraction to the old and enfeebled. If you're a gerontophiliac, you probably love raisins.

Gerontophilia describes a specific sexual inclination towards the elderly and may at times explain the sadistic attacks made upon them. The case of a homosexual gerontophile who was engaging in assaulting old men is reported here. An attempt has been made at understanding his offending behaviour and possible treatment options proposed.

Chronophilia is a rarely used term coined by John Money. It refers to a group of paraphilias of the stigmatic or eligibilic 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, as in infantophilia, pedophilia, ephebophilia, gerontophilia, and teleiophilia.
