Background: The term "hebephilia" describes the sexual preference for the body scheme of pubescent minors (Tanner stages 2 and 3). For most clinicians the definition of hebephilia as a sexual disorder is not obvious. Method: In all assessed males included in the Prevention Project Dunkelfeld at the Institute for Sexual Medicine at the Charite between 2005 and 2011, who met the inclusion criteria and showed no evidence for exclusion criteria (n = 222), the existence of a hebephilia was examined. Results: Approximately two thirds of the present sample (n = 153) showed responsiveness for the body scheme of pubescent minors. Of these, only 15% were exclusively attracted by the pubescent body scheme and 85% were cases of mixed types. Concerning the clinical aspects of the sexual preference disorder, about 95% reported child sexual abuse and/or having used child abusive images at least once in their lifetime. Additionally, hebephiles reported a higher level of clinical/psychological stress and more distinct personality characteristics in relation to a comparative sample. In terms of risk factors, hebephiles showed more offense-supportive attitudes compared to a male comparative sample. Conclusion: Hebephilia is a sexual disorder, but cannot be independently coded in the presently valid classification systems (DSM-IV-TR and ICD-10). Plans to separately include this in future in the DSM-5 represent an important step from a sexological point of view.
