I'm a Woman Who's Sleeping With a Gay Man (Yes, He's Still Gay)
For the past year, I’ve been having regular sex with a gay guy I'll call Oliver. We were finest friends for years, attending many Identity festival parades and taking weekend hiking trips. But last year, after a very drunken night, we slept together—and we still are today. He maintains that he still is, and always has been, a queer man.
After the first time, we were predictably awkward and British about it. We laughed a bit that it had happened, and then we agreed we shouldn’t execute it again.
That lasted maybe three days. The first several months had all the expected electrifying parts of sleeping with your optimal bud, but they were also tinged with this trademark new fresh thing. Oliver had never been with a woman before, and he was completely unaware of what a vulva or a clitoris was. Fortunately, Oliver had the benefit of my feminist Orgasm Gap rants over the past five years, and took to the task of making me come with admirable tenacity. One of the sweetest moments of that year was finding the book She Comes First on his bedside table.
Men I’ve slept with before often have this false bravado around sex, like they need
Single men don't have it so bad. Single men always seem to be in the game. As single men grow older, they get wiser and more confident. If you're single, don't worry. You'll always have a chance at finding someone.
When I was younger I got my heart broken by an older woman. It took about two months to muster up the courage to ask her out and when I did, all she responded was, “Sorry, I don't date sophomores.”
No matter what I said, or what nice things I did for Karen, she was out of my league since I was younger. Karen was a 17 year old junior, and I was an incredibly good looking and intelligent 16 year old. I'm not making this up. This is exactly what my mom told me every time I brought her cupcakes.
The rejection was devastating until a shiny light named Stephanie unified my high school as a freshman. Stephanie was Karen's younger sister and she was hot! In fact, Stephanie was even more beautiful than her older sister, and I just had to pursue.
For one semester, Stephanie and I had a frolicking good time. We hung out after school together almost every single night. She'd come watch my tennis matches and I'd take her to McDonald's afterward for some blazing apple
Gay Relationship Advice: Age Gaps in Homosexual Relationships
Many of my LGBTQ counseling clients ask me why they are only attracted to lgbtq+ men younger than themselves. If you are happy digital dating gay men in their twenties, then this question is not important. It’s like asking “Why do I like blondes over brunettes?” My advice is to let yourself enjoy dating whomever interests you (as long as they are over the age of 18).
Age gap relationships are more common than you may recognize. In western countries:
- 1 out of every twelve male/female couples has an age gap of 10 years or more
- that number increase to 25% in male/male couples
- and 15% of female/female relationships
That similar study indicated that age gap partners are more satisfied and more devoted to each other than partners of similar age–though there is some study that points to a correlation with higher rates of divorce. Research also shows that couples with an age gap of less than ten years are happier than those with an age gap greater than ten years. You can spot more details on these stats on this episode of the podcast I Love You Too, by Psychotherapist, Virtual dating Coach, Couples Counselor Jessica Engle,
Iwasin a relationship for the majority of my twenties. When it was finally over, I spent about a good two years getting to know myself as a 20-something year old, newly single guy. I did some excellent self-reflective work in those years, but I didn't prepare myself for navigating the dating world. Why didn't anyone warn me?
Well, here I am at 30, and still dating. What no one tells you is that turning 30 does not come with a present package including an astounding man and a aspire promotion. In fact, I would argue that it comes with an indescribable sobering feeling that affection may be even harder to acquire. This realization has resulted in my sudden appreciation for a daily glass of red wine.
During these past limited months, I have kissed quite a few frogs. I have realized that with my personal development, came this sense of awareness that will simply not allow me to partner with just anyone. Suddenly, the idea of settling has been replaced with the art of compromise, which entails sympathy my needs vs. my wants. Let's face it; we don't have the time to settle for foolishness the way we may have in our 20s. However, now we have the skill-set to let some of our ridiculous "wants" go an
In the Gay Universe there are no absolutes. Opposites attract, fit likes fit, boyfriend twins, sugar daddies with 20 somethings, bear on bear, bear eats twinkie. So when it came to Graham Norton's comments to The Mail on Sunday's TV Week, I had to reflect, in a LGBT collective that sees all kinds of pairings, is he right?
Graham Norton has said the reason he is still single is because men his own age only want to hang out younger men.
The 52-year-old chat show king returned to our screens (its 18th season) on Friday evening with BBC's The Graham Norton Show, but said in spite of his professional success, he feels he let himself down personally at times.
The Cork native has enjoyed small romantic success over the years and was recently linked to Andrew Smith before their split earlier this year.
And while he said he's keen to meet someone his possess age, it can be difficult.
"Well, I'm 52 and I'm single and on some level, I sense like I've failed because by the time you're my age, you really should be settled," he told The Mail on Sunday's TV Week.
"But then I look at the relationships people around me have and I spot myself aski
