“Michael Seto's (2016) "chronophilia" system is a series of paraphilias […] from infancy (nepiophilia) and pedophilia (prepubescent children) to […] mesophilia (middle-aged adults, typically in their 40s or 50s), and gerontophilia (elderly adults, typically 60s or older).”

“If sexual interest⟳ in mature women (mesophilia) can be understood by a dysfunctional youthfulness module (and hence a lack of a force⟳ pulling in the opposite direction of maturity), only the first two factors should play⟳ a role (H3).”
