A sexual attraction to elderly people or a strong preference for the company and characteristics of older individuals.
From Greek 'geron' (old man) + 'philia' (love of, attraction to). This term emerged in sexology and psychology literature in the 20th century.
Gerontophilia is less common than most other attractions, but historical records show it's been present across cultures—some societies even idealized relationships with elders as sources of wisdom and power.
