Example Sentences

The term hebephilia has to be distinguished from ephebophilia (gr. “ephebos”—young man) and parthenophilia (gr. “parthenos”— virgin). Both refer to the sexual preference for male or female adolescents with mostly late pubescent body age (Tanner stages 4 and 5) and are subtypes of teleiophilia (Blanchard et al. 2000; Hirschfeld 1906).

'Cyprus Avenue', his tale of adolescent torment and parthenophilia on the Beersbridge Road, captured the very sort of magical dislocation we felt as we pursued our pleasures and our exotic ideas on the normal streets, expressing ourselves in a black-through-white idiom, and we told each other who Madame George was, what street Van was looking into from an upstairs window.
