'''Age of attraction''' (AoA) is the age range typical for the people you are attracted to.

== Usage of the Term ==
People may establish their age of attraction in very different ways. The following three are most common:
* Naming the age range you find most attractive on average
* Naming the ages of your youngest and your oldest interests
* Using the age range, typically assigned to your chronophilias (e.g. 11-14 for [[hebephilia]]).
This is why someone with a declared AoA of 5-12 is not necessarily exclusive and someone with a declared aoa of 6-30 is not necessarily attracted to all these age groups equally. Some people also don’t apply the term “AoA” to their adult attractions, even though being attracted to a particular adult age range is an example of having an age preference. <br>

The terms "preferred", "peak" or "primary AoA" are sometimes used to denote the age one finds the most attractive.

== Chronophilias ==
Chronophilias are distinct categories of age preferences.
* [[Infantophilia]], an attraction to babies under one year old;
* [[Nepiophilia]], an attraction to toddlers, typically under the age of 5;
* [[Pedophilia]], an attraction to prepubescent children, typically aged between 5 and 10;
* [[Hebephilia]], an attraction to pubescent teenagers, 11-14;
* [[Ephebophilia]], an attraction to postpubescent young people, 15-19;
* Teleiophilia, an attraction to young mature adults, 20-35;
* Mesophilia, an attraction to middle-aged adults, 36-60;
