What is androphilia?

A sexual attraction to men who are between the ages of 20 and 50, though not a hard rule.

Definition

A sexual attraction to men who are between the ages of 20 and 50, though not a hard rule.

The term "androphilia" is derived from Greek roots: "andro" meaning "man" or "male," and "philia" meaning "love" or "attraction." Androphilia is used in psychology and sexology to describe a sexual orientation in which an individual is primarily attracted to men or masculinity. It is often contrasted with gynephilia, which refers to an attraction to women or femininity.

History

Taken from the Greek Words "Andro" and "Philia". Andro refers to 'male' ad Philia refers to 'love of'.

Can also refer to simply 'masculine' such as in a masculine build, attributes, appearance, action, though generally is attached to the definition of a Male.

The history of the term "androphilia" is intertwined with the broader exploration of human sexuality and sexual orientation. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, pioneering sexologists such as Richard von Krafft-Ebing and Havelock Ellis began to categorize and study various forms of sexual attraction and behavior.

About

This does not mean the one who is attracted to males between the ages of 20 and 50, is necessarily another Male. Can be used for those transitioning from a male to a female, who perceive themselves as being woman.

Also, can be women, who prefer Male's in that age grouping.

Practice (Associated Acts): Originally, this word was created, to define an erotic stimulation for Homosexual males, who were attracted to those between the ages of 20 and 50.

Another term was used to denote those males, who sought other males that were older than 50.

A third term was used for those males who sought erotic stimulation, with males younger than 20 years of age.

Noteworthy: Used more, given how one may be attracted to a Male by another person who is outwardly a Male, though they perceive themselves to be a female, trapped in a Male's body.

It was created, to not imply that those seeking a male partner, while still appearing as a male, as being Homosexual.

In some instances, in order to avoid a gender bias, this particular term was coined to include simply the attraction for males between the ages listed.

This was to provide less of a gender bias, or imply a specific sexual orientation.
