Examples

“As can be noted in the Flow Chart 122 men actually fit the definition of hebephile in that they had committed a sexual offense against a female between the ages of 12 and 17.”
“The hebephile sees the female adolescent as having adult development but vulnerability. There may also be a sense of safety from rejection because the hebephile may have had actual or perceived poor sexual performance with adult partners. The ephebophile is even more likely to reflect the emphasis on youth in society; in this case, the gay culture's emphasis on youthful appearance.”
