  • 1914, L. Pierce Clark, “A critical digest of some of the newer work upon homosexuality in man and woman”, in State Hospital Bulletin, volume VII, New York State Hospital Commission, page 352:
    According to the age of the attracting person homosexuals are divisible into ephebophiles (lovers of youths, 14-21), androphiles (grown men up to the period of old age), [] The corresponding divisions in women are parthenophiles (lovers of young women, virgins), gynecophiles (lovers of adult women), grasphiles (lovers of old women), and korophiles (lovers of undeveloped girls).
  • 1990, Joseph Geraci, Donald H. Mader, “Pedophilia”, in Wayne R. Dynes, editor, Encyclopedia of Homosexuality, volume II, page 964:
    “Man/boy love,” which posits a symmetry in the relationship and stresses its affective nature, refers only to one variant of pedophilia (the homosexual one), and for that reason is rejected by those who seek terminology inclusive of man/girl, woman/boy, and woman/girl (or “korophile”) relationships.
