Androphilia is a sexology term most frequently used to refer to male homosexuality.[1][2] Other authors have used the term with other, broader meanings however, such as the sexual attraction to males regardless of whether one is male, female, or transsexual.[3]
In a discussion of homosexuality, sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld divided men into four groups: pedophiles, who are attracted to prepubescent youth, ephebophiles, who are attracted to youths from puberty up to the early twenties; androphiles, who are attracted to persons between the early twenties and fifty; and gerontophiles, who are attracted to older men, up to senile old age.[4][5]
In Androphilia, A Manifesto: Rejecting the Gay Identity, Reclaiming Masculinity, Jack Malebranche uses the term to emphasize masculinity in both the object and the subject of male homosexual desire and to reject the sexual nonconformity that he sees in some segments of the homosexual identity.[6][7]
Alternate uses in biology and medicine
In biology, androphilic is sometimes used as a synonym for anthropophilic, describing parasites who have a host preference for humans versus non-human animals.[8] Androphilic is also sometimes used to describe certain proteins and androgen receptors.[9]
