Itā€™s D-bear, not D-Paul, and yeah, I was a little thrown by the response, but chose to interpret it as an attempt at joviality. Being a gay man, I was hesitant to post in this ā€œheteroā€ only type of thread, but it happened to appear at a time when Iā€™ve been particularly introspective. One of the things Iā€™ve been fascinated by in my own life experience has been the evolution of what I find attractive. In my 20ā€™s old men were creepy and unattractive and now (particularly when watching the Olympic divers) I see a scantly clad young man and only see a child. When I was 18 to 25 or there abouts Iā€™da jumped on it in a heartbeat. I thought that might have been the purpose of the thread. Sexual attraction and age difference. At any rate, I take no offense because Iā€™m comfortable with my weight and I have rosy breath. Not to mention I have a wonderful partner who, after being together for 15 years is still my sexual ideal and Iā€™m his. So, if offense was intended, none was takenā€¦ ---

> [@Lancia](#): > > I must say, this is one of the few times Iā€™m actually curious about someone elseā€™s sex life. Lest it appear worse than it actually was: some time after the fact, she admitted that sheā€™d lied about her birthdate and age, and was not (as Iā€™d thought) a couple of months behind me. More like a little over a year between our ages. Put that way, it doesnā€™t sound that badā€¦ I think. 16/14 sounds pretty skeevy, though. At almost-15 sheā€™d already bloomed, and impressively. I had no suspicions. Duped, I tell ya. ---

Liek many others mine was quite a bit older. I prefer not to say by exactly how much but pretty much twice. In fact it is my general expereince taht women older than me are much better at sex, but women (and, frankly, teenagers) younger than me are a lot hotter. Quite a conundrum that. ---

I was 21 and he was 25. This is first PIV. For more lenient definitions of sex I was the older party. My high school boyfriend was about half a year younger than me.
