Okay, you said you were kidding, so I'll be nice. It's just that you said you "Don't" like it, not that you "Wouldn't" like it. One implies that you have had the experience; the other implies that you haven't. That was my "haha, I'm kidding" moment.
I'm sorry you see my view as "un-hippie" but all of the hippies I know would find the image of a 65 year old man wanting sexual relations with young boys very creepy. If you were older and had a 20 year old son, would you be happy that he is having sex with someone's great grandfather? If you say yes to that question, I have truly lost all faith your natural parental instincts. Have fun with your fan club!
I just love Shale he's been through so much and has seen so much. I'm happy he's a part of hipforums and i've had the opportunity to read some of his adventures! you go Shale!
Just so we understand what it is you find creepy, do you find it just as repulsive when you see someone like Michael Douglas with Catherine Zeta-Jones (25 year difference) or Tony Randall and Heather Harlan (50 year difference) or Paul McCartney and Heather Mills (26 year difference)? As it turns out, I do have a 20 year old son. I would hope that my parenting skills have made him wise enough to know his own heart and stong enough to make his own decisions. He's an adult now and has to make his own way in the world. If sex with an older man is something he's ever interested in, I would definitely be willing to discuss it with him him and offer advice and support, but I wouldn't presume to tell him that he can't follow his own desire, so long as he does no harm.
Hello, if I would have a 20 year old son I would hope that I had done my parental job right and he would know how the world works and he should be able to stand on his own feet. With 20 there are plenty things to discover and many experiences to make, but if you can't decide if you want to have sex with someones grandpa there's IMHO something seriously wrong. Do you thing Shale enticed them with candy bars and then put them in his cellar? You might find the idea of having couples with huge age differences strange, that's OK. But there's nothing illegal (can't speak for every legal system here) with this situation. And from a moral point of view, well, I've to think hard to find something to complain about. Regards Gyro
Hello, for me personally the 'window' is about 15 years at the moment. But this two guys handle an age difference of 46 years (more or less. They say he fakes his birthday ). They are married for nearly 20 years now. Regards Gyro
Yeah, my step mom is 20 years younger than my dad.. I don't think you would see it the other way around like a guy marrying a lady 20 years older lol mabey it happens.
Well I don't care what anyone says. I know that if I gather any random group of students at my school and I mention "65 year old man who has sex with young boys" 99% of them would think it's sick or want to puke. I will take that to the bank. I am not being wierd or out of bounds here. You know I am right. If you don't believe me, ask your friends at school. I don't even know why I am bothering to reply back to this. Sometimes I find this Hip Forums place to be a Bizzaro-World. I get jumped on because I hate to wear shoes but a 65 year old having sex with a young guy is seen as the norm. Wow. Someone please pass me the good stuff...
I was shaking my head at the fact that you would approve of this and then I noticed that you are 58 and probably are into the same thing. Cool.
Hello, well, one should see her account statement first . We can only guess what it is that people, that are so unequal in some properties, start a relationship. Sometimes it might be money, sometimes it's some distinguished property of one of them, sometimes it's just pragmatism. Regards Gyro
Hello, neither do we . You like it . The young guy was way over 20 years old IIRC. Obviously you try to forget this and talk about 'young boys' now. That gives the reader a false impression of the discussion. I'm sorry about your shoe problem. I can imagine it sucks to be reminded every now and then that your shoes are missing and you are different. Well, it's not my intention to pick on you or to be Mr. Weisenheimer here, but you are already at the good stuff: You get to know people whose morale differs from yours. Regards Gyro
Hello, first you're somewhat impolite and second you still have to learn a lot to bring out an ad hominem argument that deserves it's name. Regards Gyro
I really don't think there's a problem with it. If two people are consenting and have no problem getting along, then whose business is it what they do? The only thing I could see that might hinder a relationship with a significant age gap would be cultural/societal differences. Like one of you grew up in a completely different era than the other. If you can find your way past those barriers then more power to you!
Dear Principessa, you're right. Even without the age gap that might be a problem. I fear cultural and social differences more then ethnical differences... Regards Gyro
Shale is a very fine writer: I've told him he should seriously consider having his movie reviews published in book form. Plus his comments are always insightful ones. That's why I appreciate him. --QP
