teleiophilia

A paraphilia in which the person afflicted is sexually attracted to adults. Since it is the most common paraphilia, and the vast majority of the world's population has it, those who do usually fail to realize that they have it, and end up ostracizing all other paraphilia, namely pedophilia or ephebophilia, insisting that they are "the norm". It can also be apparent in minors as well.
The vast majority of adults have teleiophilia. Anyone who doesn't is abruptly shunned.

"Leonard is only 12 years old, but he has a crush on his 39 year old teacher. You could say that leonard has teleiophilia."

Terminatrix Telephobia 

A phobia in which the person has a paralyzing fear of answering the phone believing that it may cause him/her to exit The Matrix.

This is one of the more recent phobias that has come to light, with an obvious connection to the Matrix movie trilogy.

In these films people from the real world are able to "jack in" to the Matrix a ficitonal simulated version of Earth as it once was. These people then exit the Matrix via ringing telephones that their "operators" send them to. It can only be assumed that said operators stream a code of some sort into the ringing phone that allows people to break connection with the Matrix.

People with this phobia may also innately be afraid of large underground cave orgies
I don't hangout with James anymore because I can never get him on the phone to make plans. Ever since he saw The Matrix he's been afflicted with Terminatrix Telephobia.

I don't think he likes the idea of a world where Keanu Reeves is seen as the last bastion of hope.
