Synonym: korerasty 1991, Geoffrey Scott Puterbaugh (username), “Morning Gays at the AHA” in soc.motss, Usenet: It seems safe to assume that the panelists were referring to (pick your term) man–boy love, pederasty, ephebophilia. They may also have been referring to korephilia (woman–girl) and (looking internationally) may have been referring to paedophilia, since Dutch reformers seem to have seized on this term to refer to all inter-generational sex. 1998, Ruediger Landmann (username), “Re: Proposal: alt.binaries.korephile” in alt.config, Usenet: How many posts about korephilia are being made to already existing newsgroups at the moment? 2007, James T. Sears (editor), The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Love, Courtship, & Sexuality Through History VI: The Modern World, “Pederasty”: Unlike pedophilia, which defines adult male or female attraction to a prepubescent girl or boy under thirteen, and korephilia, which denotes adult female attraction to girls, pederasty specifically defines emotional, intimate, and physical adult male attraction to teenage boys. 2008, Bonnie G. Smith (editor), The Oxford Encyclopedia of Women in World History III: Kaffka–Service Sector, “Pederasty”: Contemporary pederasty and korephilia differ from classical norms in that the younger partner may…take sexual initiative rather than be passive in serving the pleasures of the older partner.
