im' a 22 year old girl and have spent last two years in a relationship whit a boy who is now 17.
before we got together, i was not atracted to younger men, but now i am, and almost exclusivly.
i have been looking into this subject and found that this is a pathological state and is often connected with pedophilia.
how is it possible that one developes this condition and could a person be treated for this? where can i find help online?

I doubt ephebophilia is the problem Mrs Robinson.

Ephobophilia is attraction of and older adult to a newly pubescent person. You and a 17 year old boy ain't so bad. You're getting closer to your sexual peak, and guys at 17-19 are AT their sexual peak. Though it is not generally socially acceptable, your issue is NOT a condition of ephobophilia. It's not a condition at all. At 17 and still today at 26 I have been attracted to older women. There's nothing wrong with that. You should see how many 40 year old men walk around staring at 16 and 17 year old butts all day. They make a condition for everything. It's so normal, it shouldn't be named a condition. Who's crazy, the crazy person or the rest of the world?
