I am very skeptical about that type of attraction.
A bad example of chronophilia is this teleiophilia (and not teleophilia) when prepubescent children are attracted to adults and that adult do not oppose it. That is when you get this p***philia that everyone condemns. However, very often, it is this teleiophilia that is the cause of p***philia.
Once children have reached their 18th. birthday, that should not be a legal issue anymore since both are out of age and as long as both are consenting and not the one or the other put under pressure, that is pretty standard nowadays.
That's the wrong word:
"Teleophilia" is associated with being a perfectionist - like me correcting this question.
The word you are looking for is: Teleiophilia
From Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronophilia
Teleiophilia (from Greek téleios, "full grown") is a sexual preference for adults. The term was coined by Ray Blanchard in 2000. Mesophilia (derived from the Greek "mesos", "intermediate") is a sexual preference for middle-aged adults.
What's my opinion of it?
I think a better technical term for that is "Normal".
I think it's all about the attraction of maturity and the power of maturity. I feel like Sigmund Freud talked about this about like an attraction to the parents

I never use to care for it much, but I'm opposite to my age and I'm crazy I know my boundaries are for us I don't ever disrespect females #feminism
But I used to love mature woman now site young 20 year olds and what not I never been with anybody younger than 25
Never heard the term. Looking at the definition it’s simply the attraction to older adults and not limited to the age range you listed in the question. So based on that I feel like a younger adult can be attracted to an older adult for a variety of reasons from a need to connect to a more safe and mature emotional person to issues based on previous trauma to having bad experiences with adults their own age.
i think every under 18yr old male has that... when i was 13 i used to jerk off to over 18 girls all the time... since there was no porn for 13yr olds... i had to jerk off to adults instead... and i liked it more thn i would jerking off to someone my own age... adults are more developed n better tits
If they weren't under age then I suppose it is ok to a certain extent...
If a younger girl is attracted to me , let's use a term and say infatuated. I think it is cute but I would keep a respectful distance
Under 18 no... but18 upwards, it's flattering, and can be exciting
The term literally means attraction to adults, But as defined in the OP, I would say that I did have it. When I was 16 to 20) I was often dating women 25 to 35. I still prefer 5 to 15 years older.
Litterly not my thing. I prefer someone younger than me not older
I support it fundamentally, but I know that there's a decent amount of men that would take advantage of that.
It's a retarded term. I hate the fact that people have to label everything
My little cousin did this. I put an end to it! Not just because it was incest, but because it creeped me out.
People are attracted to whoever they are attracted to. As long as they're both consenting, I'm fine with it.
As long as it's legal I'm ok with it. Believe it or nor 16 is the legal age of consent in UK and some other countries but the general rule is 18.
Sounds little different than a child having a crush on a teacher or something. (Not a bad thing. Just not the relationship starting type of love.)
I mean the milf attraction has always been there, my sis said it stems from things in my background I don't know how to take that.
Wow... never heard that term before. Thanku for educating me x
It's probably more common than we think.. would have to look further into it to give honest answer.
Well I'm older so I dont have any feelings for someone older than me
As long as your legal it's ok
Very natural and healthy.. nothing wrong.
I like from 16-45 so... Am I this? Haha
