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.

Minor and youth attraction

See MAP flag, Other MAP flags.

PanchronoMAP refers to someone who experiences all chronophilias included in minor attraction (infanto-, nepio-, pedo-, hebe- and, optionally, ephebophilia).

Adult attraction

There are several commonly used terms for adult attraction.

Adult attracted person is often abbreviated to AAP. There are flags that correspond to no special term other than that:

The term adophilia was coined in 2022 by Mediocervidae. Existing adophilia flags:

The term adelian was coined by Max in 2021.

Adultlove is a term analogous to "childlove". It, and its gendered variants, have been coined more than once.

Adult attracted minors

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.

Alternative AAM flags:

See the AAM category for more flags.

Multichronophilia

It is common to be attracted to more than one age group. There are some terms for having multiple elementary chronophilias:

Bi-aionic is an uncommon term that refers to someone experiencing both minor and adult attraction. This identity doesn't have a flag so far.

Relative to one's age

Peer, junior and senior

Peer attraction

Attraction to people of similar age to one's own is may be referred to as peer attraction, homochronian attraction or pariophilia. Out of those three, "homochronian" implies exclusive peer attraction (similarly to how "homosexual" implies exclusive same-gender attraction), and the other two terms don't carry such implications.

Junior attraction

Attraction to people noticeably younger than oneself may be referred to as juniophilia.

Senior attraction

Attraction to people noticeably older than oneself may be referred to as seniophilia.

Other relative to one's own age

Chronian

Chronian terms were coined by Tumblr user multiversialcoining to be used in conjunction with elementary chronophilia terms to provide the wider context to one's chronophilia such us relation to one's age or whether that chronophilia exclusive or non-eclusive[1]. Some of the labels, however, function similarly to elementary chronophilia terms (i.e define the age range of attraction).
