I’m with **mipiace** on the spandex issue. If a man can pull it off, woohoo! The only thing he’d have to fear from me is a pat on the backside (if I knew him well). ---

If he looks good enough, I’ll pat him if i don’t know him. 😉 (but only if he doesn’t have a ring on his finger) ---

I always have this fear of getting smacked. Not that it’s ever happened, but you just never know. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by mipiace \* > \*\*What is she was 60 and still hot? Like Raquel Welch, or Tina Turner, or Cher? \*\* Then I’d get _really_ scared. Anybody ever get the idea that Cher gets up in the morning, stumbles into the bathroom, flips on the light, catches sight of herself in the mirror, and completely flips out? Like, what the _hell?_ I picture Michael Jackson having the same reaction… their neighbors must get to used to some pretty hair-raising shrieks first thing in the morning. ---

Well you do have a point there. BUt if I am going to get patted on my tush by an old guy, I’m going to pray for Harrison Ford or Tom Selleck. With my luck, it would be Rodney Dangerfield. ---

Am I safe?😃 I wouldn’t do it to anyone that was way younger then me, that would be kind of weird. ---

Define way younger. I dated a guy for a while that was 8 years younger. I didn’t think that was way weird. It was fun. Short lived but fun. ---

Since my wife recently registered, I probably should not post this, but: Do any guys here feel the slightest bit of guilt (for lack of a better word) when “cutting loose” in your SO’s mouth? I love it, and my wife enjoys it to a certain extent (she’s not going to use it in a recipe or anything), but I can’t shake the feeling that it’s going to be gross for her, even when she says it’s not. It’s not a real problem, but I’m curious if it’s a common feeling. ---

OHHH! That explains it. For them to be jailbait they’d have to we way younger than me - like my son’s age. 🙂 I am at a great age. I have about a 20 year span of ages I can date comfortably. It’s great to be me! But anyway, as far as you, just think what a thrill you’d give that highschool boy pattin’ his little butt! 😉 LOL! He’d remember you for years! ---

I don’t see anything wrong with dating someone several years younger. I didn’t mean to give that impression. When I think of high school boys, I think of my brother’s friends. Yuck! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by mipiace \* > \*\*What is she was 60 and still hot? Like Raquel Welch, or Tina Turner, or Cher? \*\* As long as it was just a friendly “old gal havin’ fun” type thing, sure, I’d be ok with it. But if it was the beginning of a come on, then, well, no thanks… **Clint in Wichita** , there was a discussion of pretty much that exact issue hidden somewhere back in this thread that might be interesting to you. I think almost a whole page was devoted to it - that was back before we all got side tracked, of course, and this was all still on topic. **Branwen** you fit in the right age group, since at most you’d be what, just under 9 years younger than me? This has all got me thinking, I’m really hoping this girl I was talking to the other night was referring to her college graduation, not her high school graduation :eek: It’s all so simple when you’re in school and you know everyone’s about the same age… ---

Yeah I got hit on last summer by one of my son’s friends. All I could do was laugh. He was 18. I was 34…he still didn’t get why I couldn’t take him seriously. I think I would date guys within 10 years either direction of my age. Depends on the guy. But I might go a couple of years more for someone special…just haven’t found that exception yet and not really looking for it either. ---

At least, I used to, when it was relevant. I can’t say how common it is, but you’re not alone. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by mia \* > **I dated a guy for a while that was 8 years younger. I didn’t think that was way weird. It was fun. Short lived but fun.** My gf is 10 years younger than I am. I don’t see it as an issue. I don’t see it as a plus, either. She _should_ be at her sexual peak, right now, but if that’s it, then…:rolleyes: Personally, I think as long the two people have close to the same level of maturity, it’s not a big deal. ---

So there is a general consensus that 10 years in either direction is comfortable. Interesting. And as far as that other comment RE: Clint in Witchita - I have known guys liek that before and never quite understood it. I mean if it’s okay with me…oh well I guess that is better than forcing the issue when it isn’[t okay. Dave bear - man you gotta do something about your sex life dude. I’m starting to feel bad for you. I know a couple of chicks in Boston…want me to hook you up? ---

Just out of curiousity, is there anything a girl could do/say that would make it more comfortable for you to cum in her mouth? Or is it a matter of her persistantly telling you she wants you to, and consistantly showing her enthusiasm for wanting it in her mouth?
