abstract
| - Gynephilia (gynophilia, gynaecophilia, or gynesexuality; from the Greek gunē, meaning women; and -philia, meaning love) is the erotic attraction to adult females and/or femininity, and its counterpart androphilia (from Greek andro-, "male," + -philia, "love") is attraction to adult males and/or masculinity. The term androphilia (or androsexuality) was originally coined to describe age aspect of erotic orientation of male homosexuals. The terms androphilia and gynephilia are also used to distinguish attractions to adults from pederasty and pedophilia. These describe types of chronophilia and within that, androphilia and gynephilia collectively refer to two variable forms of teleiophilia. Later the words androphilia and gynephilia (gynaekophilia) become terms to describe one's sex/gender orientation independently of one's sex/gender; this usage is useful especially for talking about orientation of trans people (regardless of which age range of attraction), as well as for generally studies of attraction to men or attraction to women.
