Chronophilic Orientation

A romantic or sexual orientation tied to a chronophilia. For some chronophiles, their sexual or romantic orientation isn't the same when it comes to adults VS minors. For example, a non-exclusive pedophile could be attracted to children of multiple genders or all genders while only being attracted to one gender of adults. This implies that there may be a separate sexuality or romantic orientation for some chronophiles that only applies to people within their chronophilic age of attraction.

I am normally straight but my chronophilic orientation is gay.
