Although there's no firm rule, yes age matters - quite a lot. Firstly, age strongly influences your cultural "touchpoints", the music, the celebrities, the tv programmes, the books, films and events that mean something to you. And those cultural touchpoints are, for (most?) couples, an important ingredient in the glue that binds you together. And secondly, as you get into the latter phase of your life, age-related weaknesses become ever-more intrusive. Instead of being in harmony, your body clocks are running at different speeds. Basic changes of any kind (job, friends, injuries, illnesses) put pressure on relationships and this is a long-term, grinding set of changes that is far from insignificant. Are you both comfortable sharing your anxieties about what the future holds as the menopause or prostate enlargement kicks in, swelling of the ankles, heart palpitations during love making, or simply finding favourite positions impossible through wear and tear on joints? Maybe you are. More likely you have a lot of uncomfortable moments ahead in which the older partner will feel regret, guilt, fear and lessened. Don't get me wrong, my partners are much younger than me and it has been a joy. But it has been joy through the tears as well as through the years.
Doesn't matter to me. My husband is 24 years older than me.
We can blame things on age, but really deep down they are more about the effects of age than age it's self.
If you look after yourself and keep fit then no . Age is often a state of mind.
Age is only a number...please ask...I won’t mind...?
I used to think it was. I ripped my friend to pieces when he was 24 and went to live with his 37 year old girlfriend who he met online, but since being here, I have felt more open to relationships with older women. But that is just Lush I guess.
When I was 20, I had a sexual relationship with a 38 year old woman. I liked her experience, she liked my energy I had then. A year or so later, I slept a couple of times with a woman about 22 years older than I. Never really thought too much into the age gap.
When two consenting adults enjoy each other's company then that is up to them. Age difference doesn't matter.
If you like the person and they like you, why should age matter?
As long as it's consensual and neither of you are underage, then no, age doesn't matter.
My heart has wi-fi and the password is Drew Carey.
I used to get attracted to mature guys, a few year older than myself....but after so many years I have now realized that age doesn't matter, chemistry does!
For most, generally, at some point, Yes, it will matter.
Some of my best sex was with 2 different women about the same time in my life. I was 31,32ish, they were over 40. One was so into it we became fuck buddies for nearly a year before she had to move away. Evidently my age mattered as my younger age gave me more strength and stamina she wanted.
I wouldn't want to be in a relationship with someone younger then my adult children, but a one night fling we we both leave afterwards as friends not lovers sure. That being said age does bring knowledge.
No it doesn't. Monday evening I entertained a guy 33 years younger than I. We had plenty in common to make for a wonderful evening and running well into the next day.
I don't feel age matters all that much. Attraction is what is important to me.
I'm a hopeless romantic and the older I get the more hopeless I become. Reach for the brass ring and don't worry about what others think.
That question has a different reality for everyone. Domwife and I have been together 39 years, and we still get that giddy tingling all over feeling when we kiss, and it only gets more intense from there. I was 17, and she was 39 when our love affair started, and we have been married 33 years. And no, it has not been all roses and champaign. But it has been far more good than bad. Sadly, our relationship and love have outlasted many of our friend's "age-appropriate" relationships and marriages.t2OJ5hhDcc72VPWP
When I was younger I had GREAT sex with both men and women that were as much as 30 years older than I was, and learned so very much. I have passed this knowledge on....
In those cases where the difference in age is very very large - definitely yes.
I think 5-10 years is an acceptable age difference
In employment circles: 50 plus is a REAL thing. As for sexual matter... hell no. haha
