Objectively, age doesn't matter in any kind of interpersonal relationship, unless it matters to YOU! I always prefer younger lovers. I'm just not attracted to older men, or older women for that matter. But ya gotta go with what works, no matter what other people say!

If I was a teenager it would be a problem.
I'm an adult and he's much older than me.
If the experience counts. I'm busted as a virgin.

Not at all in the adult word as long as the age is above legal age of 21. I have been with a younger woman 18 years younger she liked older men and I have been with younger men and older men both over 10 years difference in age we all had fun and got the pleasure we needed

Age does not matter. I prefer an older woman to make love to. I do love soft skin and curves on a beautiful woman

Age doesn't matter, as long as there is a spark there or a connection then that's all that matters, but I do admit that I have a preference for slightly older men, I just find them sexier and more self assured

Oh yes, age matters.

I dont think age matters, been out with younger and older women.

Older women seem to be more settled and know what they want from life, where as the younger ones just want to enjoy life before being tied down.

I will say though im 44 and my other half 45, but fancy a 32 and 26yr that i work with, but have not done anything about it, fear of rejection i guess.

My boyfriend is a lot younger than me, and I would like to know what you guys think..
what age difference do you think would be too much?



I would say yes it does matter. No more than 20 years I would say. Think about it, more than that Your having sex with someone that could be your child. Would you want your children to have sex with someone your age?

I personally dont think so. I'm 28 and i've been with women who are much older than me. I actually enjoy dating any women who knows what they want and age isn't an issue.

Different twist--about old age. All of you young lovers will get here sooner or later, I am 76 and my wife is 77. Don't let anybody tell you fucking is old stuff and goes away with age. I use Viagra and my wife uses several lubes to keep her vagina wet and we can have sex about once a week. I masturbate 2-3 per week too. 25 years ago we fucked at least five times a week and I always ate her pussy(I still do one of my biggest turnon's and guaranteed orgasm for her every time).

She had boyfriends before we met that were 10=15 years younger than she was. We were not married until she was 52. I believe when she says that younger guys had more stamina and sexual energy, but older guys have more moves, know how to please in little ways that can build up big time.

All in all, fucking is a lifelong hobby--young, old, any mix. Just do it and don't ever miss a chance because you're "too busy" or "too tired" or "she/he isn't too good looking or too heavy......" You will cum to the day when you wished you had taken every opportunity.

For the most part minimum age matters for legal reasons ... beyond that all depends what you are looking for
Does it matter for a quicky in the park behind the bushes .. not really (well could change how much they charge)
Does it matter for amazing passionate lusty sex that you will keep going back to in your fantasies? not really

Does it matter for a long term stable relationship that is not about what can be done on the desk, chair, walls, table ... yes ... yes it does.

Does that mean it can't work? no just that a person who is 20 doesn't have the same hopes and dreams and view of life as someone who is 60. 10 years even can make an entire difference in perspective. However, if you meet someone and you connected in a way you never had before, you share the same goals, you work well, communicate well, and are open to each other in ways you have never been with others then age is less important .. yet age tends to be a good indicator of where a person has been ... and where they are going.

sometimes yes sometimes no. if you can always go with the needs of your bf then its ok and so is he , 10 years gap is too much specialy if your in your late 20's. just imagine your 28 and bf is 18 on the exploring side and teens will be teens smile.

Age will always matter to some extent, because of the law.

Emotional maturity matters more, though. So does physical maturity--a few people, not many, don't complete puberty until after they reach the age of majority, and they'll probably enjoy sex more when they do.

I think what someone else posted here is GENERALLY correct: it can matter when/if seeking a long-term relationship. Those things can't live on sex and money alone....Obviously, there are some 18 yo females that I'd be more deeply compatible with than anyone my age (42) or older....but, as a general rule, for 'serious' relationships, it's generally better (at my age at least) to stay within +/- 10 or 15 years.

Obvious, one-off, mind blowing sex where you're NOT seeking a relationship, age doesn't matter at all - just pure animal attraction.

I have not had any experience with much older men. The oldest has been about 30 years older in my late teens. I let a cab driver work off a fare - and enjoyed him. I imagined him to be about 50.
I have always preferred men around my own age - some younger but not significantly. Girls I prefer younger.
I actually enjoy the social company of my partners as well as enjoying good sex with them.

My GF is a good 15 years older then me. It does not scare me right now, but I do have serous doubts in the future. For example, when I turn 35, that would make her 50.... just a bit unsettling.

Nick, obviously you don't know how well 50 year old women fuck, if you did you wouldn't be unsettled in the least!

You know, it REALLY depends... On how it connects...

If it's ANYTHING about the age then, (in my experience) you're stacking cards... (If you like HER because she's young and cute, if SHE likes you because you're OLDER and more worldly...)

It's fun while it lasts...

(But generally it doesn't last in my experience.)

UNLESS it's two people who don't even consider an age difference... (And I think that's valid... If perhaps unusual... If you're 40 and they are 19 you're in trouble...) If you are 54 and they are 33, less so...)

I guess it's about EXPERIENCE.

(And to be MORE THAN HONEST, my years of going after TOO YOUNG girls caused me much pain and embarrassment... For a while, (YEARS OMG!) I'd cry in my beer to friends... My friend Jonathan O'Brien once said, "So she's another GRADUATE of the Stephen Stone Finishing School For Girls..."

And he was right!

Certainly its personal preference but you need to take into consideration what you are looking for, where you both are at in life etc. You at least want to share similar interests on some levels, especially when it comes to sex. And it's a plus if you can carry on a conversation and you are both aware of what the other is talking about. I'd like to think I'm an old soul, I've akways been attracted to older men, but I have a range I'm comfortable with.

Age isn't important , what is important is whats inside. My parents were 18 years apart. They lived a long and happy marriage and life. Currently, Im involved with a woman half my age. We get along amazingly. Read her story aboit us on her page. (Sinfuldelite and the story is. "Hideaway at Hillveiw "

You know the old saying " age is nothing but a number "

I've never thought so. My wife is 14 years older than me. It's about so much more than age and looks (Though she is very pretty!)

There's been a few threads like this in various parts of the forum and they usually end up being full of examples of how couples have made it work. However, I'd agree with BdJ, these relationships are the exceptions not the rule. There's usually unresolved Oedipus/Electra shit involved from the younger party and some kind mid-life crisis involved from the older party - neither of which bode well for a long term relationship.

Having said that, in the moment, they can be amazing, so have fun. The mere fact that you've asked says to me that you already got a good understanding of the issues involved.

In answer to you specific question I have seen a mathematical formula for working out the age at which a relationship starts to get "creepy"

Minimum age = (Age of older partner / 2) + 7

So for someone like me at 43, anyone under 28.5 falls into "the creepy range"

[the formula can be swapped around: Maximum age = (Age of younger partner - 7) * 2]


Interesting formula.

There are always exceptions of course, but yeah, I think age matters. Maybe more so for relationships than for sex.
