Other chronophilia flags

There is a number of terms for age-related attractions that do not rely on rigid descriptions of age groups one is attracted to. Rather, they deal with categories of youth and adults, attractions relative to own age group, the number and intensity of other chronophilias one might have, etc.

Adult attracted minors (typically abbreviated as AAMs) are a subcategory of adult attracted people. Just as any other age group, youth is expected to be primarily attracted to own peers and adult attraction in young people is treated as paraphiliac.

The most popular AAM flag was made in 2018 by Cherry. In 2020, Pappy made an edit to it for explicit inclusion of nonbinary adults.
