May-December Sex and Relationships


Have you ever engaged in sex or a relationship in which there was a significant difference in age?

Yeah, "significance" is quite a subjective judgment. I've been told that relationships should involve pairings of individuals who were both in high school at the same time. That basically makes it acceptable for couples with no more than a 3 year age differential.

But I'm talking here about what is referred to as "May-December" relationships -- ones in which the age differential between the two adults is wide enough to risk social disapproval. The socially acceptable rule of thumb for age differentials in relationships has been purported to be a parter who is no younger than "half your age plus seven years."

Sugar Daddy and Jailbait and MILF and Boy Toy represent a few of the slang terms for pairings in which the age differential is more than that rule of thumb and one individual is much older than the other.

While much older men with younger women has historically been more prevalent, there is an emerging trend of much older women with younger men. In the celebrity world that would be Demi, Cher, Tina Turner and Liz Taylor... just to name a few.

Perhaps, broadening one's horizon to include partners who are "significantly" (yeah, there's that very subjective term again) older or younger has some benefits, especially for women. Perhaps, the age differential creates some great opportunities that otherwise might never be experienced. It's definitely something to ponder.

I seem to be in a wonderful age bracket where I may find myself equally attracted to women a decade or more younger or older than I. I certainly have no "rules about it. If there is a mental and physical attraction than the age does not really matter.


Come check out The Social Contract. A little brain food!!

I believe the main concern for such relationships is how is abusing who?
When to people smile in each others company it is equal no harm no foul.
