'Cyprus Avenue', his tale of adolescent torment and parthenophilia on the Beersbridge Road, captured the very sort of magical dislocation we felt as we pursued our pleasures and our exotic ideas on the normal streets, expressing ourselves in a black-through-white idiom, and we told each other who Madame George was, what street Van was looking into from an upstairs window.

Hebephilia (i.e., sexual attraction toward early pubescent body scheme meaning development stage with beginning growth of pubic hairs and breasts etc., i.e. Tanner stages 2 and 3 -- while the sexual preference for the late male pubescent body scheme is called "ephebophilia" and for the late female adolescence "parthenophilia") is an independent disorder of sexual preference to be diagnosed according to the International Classification System of the World Health Organization (ICD-10) or the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-IV-TR), not yet specifically coded (for DSM-V there are plans to change this).

The term hebephilia has to be distinguished from ephebophilia (gr. “ephebos”—young man) and parthenophilia (gr. “parthenos”— virgin). Both refer to the sexual preference for male or female adolescents with mostly late pubescent body age (Tanner stages 4 and 5) and are subtypes of teleiophilia (Blanchard et al. 2000; Hirschfeld 1906).
