Its odd sometimes as I know it's not socially acceptable but I don't care, I am really only attracted to the older man/daddy/daddybear type of man. Its not weird but I could see how others would find it weird. But yeah it exists on all spectrums.

And the solution is that you must be 60 and your husband 36, so that in two years time my N/2+7 formula will be satisfied! Six years is a reasonable amount of time, so I guess you're proof that it can work.<br /><br />Anyway, hope you had a good Christmas and wishing you a Happy New Year.

There is a lot we don't relate to given the generational difference, but that is more than made up with common interests, sex and love.<br />In 2 years I will be old enough to meet your formula's criteria - I am 24 years older than my husband (we have been together 6 years)Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12775219683154536934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10667700.post-30886670993057810082015-12-04T14:43:58.945+00:002015-12-04T14:43:58.945+00:00Hey GB,

I would say that age gap relationships in the gay scene are no more or less prevalent that the straight scene in Hong Kong. However, I can't say I notice age gap relationships to be as common in the UK when I go back to visit or go out to bars and clubs. <br /><br />I agree that the term 'Daddy' evokes feelings on inequality in a relationship. My ex boyfriend, although young, added a great deal of creativity and fun to my life, and likewise I think I added elements to his life that meant together we worked as a couple (till we broke up at least , ha!). <br /><br />When I see age gap relationships I must confess I used to perhaps be a little to quick to judge in a gay or straight situation. But now I catch myself and don't let my mind instantly assume that what I am seeing is a financially driven situation of older rich person and younger guy/girl in need of financial security. It might be genuine compatibility...

As an ex-twink who now routinely gets put...Hey GB,<br /><br />As an ex-twink who now routinely gets put in the daddy category I guess I should "weigh in".<br /><br />I think that as you get older you realise that your maturity (or youthfulness) kind of plateaus and although your body ages your mind stays young. The main difference is ever-increasing experience. In many ways, whether sex with older men is "normal" comes down to the younger guy. If he is child-like in mentality then no. If he is "adult" then yes. Having said that, for myself as a 46 year old (don't tell anyone), if I meet someone and realise that they're the same age as my nieces and nephews that adds an "ick" factor that I find hard to get past.<br /><br />When it comes to relationships, that brings other issues, mostly around aging. If a 20 year old marries a 50 year old then in 20 years the ages will be 40 and 70. These days 40 is prime of life and 70 is the start of the Autumn years. It might not cause issues, but it could. Then again, relationships change as they go on, so who knows.<br /><br />One final point is that men are like cars. The older they get the more servicing they need.
