“Japan’s Burakumin are a people within a people. For hundreds of years, they experienced direct persecution that has kept them from being fully functional members of society. Even though they were released from their caste in the 1800’s, the stigma remains to this day.

Many people mistakenly believe that because something is classified as a chronophilia, it somehow “cannot be a sexual orientation”…and they extrapolate that “pedophilia cannot be a sexual orientation”, based upon this assumption.

It’s the sexual attraction to middle aged adults, in their forties and fifties.
Both of these refer to an aspect of a persons sexual orientation, which hinges on physical characteristics normally associated with recognized age groups.

Are people who like 18 to 39 year olds lacking a sexual orientation?…No.
…And the same holds true for nepiophiles, pedophiles, hebephiles and ephebophiles [as well as gerontophiles].
“In Laos, there’s a town with a very seedy reputation. Not long ago, you could buy opium direct from a store menu. The time that earned it the reputation has passed, but not before leaving its mark. This is the story of tourism, and what locals have to give up to obtain it. This is Vang Vieng.”
