Ephebophilia is an erotic age preference (chronophilia) for later pubescent youth, usually between 15-19 years of age. It is often used to distinguish an attraction to teenagers from an attraction to prepubescent or early pubescent youth (described as pedophilia and hebephilia respectively). A person with such attractions is called an ephebophile. Researchers connected to CAMH tend to distinguish hebephilia ("preference for 11–14 year-olds") from ephebophilia ("preference for 15–19 year-olds").[1]
