Hebephilia refers to the sexual preference for individuals in the early years of puberty (generally ages 11-14, though puberty can vary). It differs from ephebophilia, which refers to the sexual preference for individuals in later adolescence,[1] and from pedophilia, which refers to the sexual preference for prepubescent children.[2] While individuals with a sexual preference for adults (i.e., teleiophiles) may have some sexual interest in pubescent-aged individuals,[3] the term hebephilia is reserved for those who prefer pubescent-aged individuals over adults. Debate is ongoing over whether hebephilia is a psychological disorder, with Ray Blanchard arguing for its inclusion in the DSM-V.[4][5]
The term was introduced by Glueck (1955),[6] who later credited it, without citation, to Paul Benedict.[7]
Etiology
As with sexual preference in general, it is not known what causes someone to be sexually interested in pubescents rather than in adult individuals.
A team of Canadian sexologists has published a series of research articles comparing biologically relevant characteristics of clinical samples of pedophiles, hebephiles, and teleiophiles (individuals with a sexual preference for adults). In such samples, hebephilic men are midway between pedophilic men and teleiophilic men on average IQ,[8] memory test scores,[8] and rates of school grade failures over and above the IQ differences, with pedophiles scoring the lowest on the first two measures and highest on the third.[9] Hebephiles score midway between pedophiles and teleiophiles in rates of non-right-handedness,[10], rates of having suffered childhood head injuries,[11][12] and physical height.[13]
Prevalence of hebephilia versus pedophilia
There are clinical and correctional samples of sexual offenders in which hebephilic men outnumber the pedophilic men.[8][14][15] Moreover, anonymous surveys of people sexually interested in children more frequently report an erotic interest in pubescents rather than in prepubescents.[16][17]
