Large age gap dynamics


Recommended Posts

In the vanilla world older daddies and younger women get significant scorn. Yet I am amazed how many younger subs love the dynamic.

What are some pros & cons for younger women who prefer older doms?

I love the age gap. The subs I've had love it, too. Granted, most have Daddy issues, but this is their way of working through it. Where they have the control, and not be h*lpless. And lead it where they want it to go.

Well my good Sir. First off it not as taboo for older men to be with younger ladies compaired to us older ladies with younger men. Now as a 50 yr old switch that will date up 20 years i can say personaly it the experiance i am after. Now dont get me wrong there are men out there that has ZERO clue how to treat a lady both in and out of the bedroom and uses bdsm as a power grab to stoke his own ego. Those can land anybody in mental termoil for a long time and turn them off all together to the joys this lifestyle can bring them. Now as a Dom female side i would go down maybe 15 years but that depends on the male if he can keep my brain from being voard with him. So i say if you are commfy with ppl talking and pointing the fck what others think and do what turnz your body and mind on. Just dont break a law by going to young is all i have to say.
Men take longer than women to mature, so if I stick to my age range of 27, they're usually mentally 20. Not saying all men are like this, there are some mature men my own age, but they're so few and far between I'd rather just go with someone whose older. Get maturity, emotional awareness and general knowhow of how to be independent without depending on me
So true but i have ran into a few young guys who have a large age gap between them and the parents so they are able to hold a convo with the older ppl and get board with younger or there own age. Im the same way. My parents are 30 years older than me.
I date younger. My best relationship was with a sub 17 years my junior and he's still one of my best friends and one of the most emotionally intelligent people I've ever met. But he also continuously spends time working on himself to be a better person. That relationship just sort of happened and it was a surprise to me. But after him, I am very open to dating younger men, because he was the best (he still is but now he lives really far away so we just support each other and reminisce). What I have found so far is that guys my age and older can still be pretty immature and entitled with women, even if they are subs. And while a lot of the younger guys are also immature, there are gems to be found. And I found another one. He's not a sub though so we play on a mutually sensual level and he has been so emotionally validating while at the same time giving me some of the best sex of my life. I'm still evaluating a few people as potential subs, and the men that have gotten further happen to be young. The older ones were fantasy pushing and were not respecting my boundaries and wishes. After I finish evaluating this last batch come off I don't keep anybody I will look some more.

My folks used to call my first younger guy my puppy, but they stopped doing that once they realized how exquisitely he was treating me. Now they ask me here and there how he's doing because they know I still talk to him all the time. And one time somebody thought he was my son and I just kind of stared at her and put my hands in his hair and she shut up pretty quick LOL. This is my life and I am going to enjoy it.

I know that doesn't really answer your question because I'm not a younger woman or an older man. Lol. When I was a younger woman I did date older and it wasn't because I wanted an age gap. Those were just the guys that pursued me. None of them were great relationships. But I don't usually say anything when an older man is dating a younger woman, especially if she's at least in her mid-twenties. Because I have done the same thing and now I'm doing it again lol.

I'm older or mature bi single male, not dominant but I prefer a younger woman for a relationship. In the vanilla world, I just not to keen on someone my age talking about all the problems their friends are having. At a record holder gathering, half conversation was doctors and medications. I'm not there. Also, I've worked with women younger than me at a number of companies.
I actually am the reverse of that dynamic. I typically go for older women. I don’t know the exact reason but typically they are at least five to six years older. I can give pros and cons of that nature but not your specific dynamic .

As a reminder, ALL comments in the Kink Academy need approval (app store rules to blame).  Please don't post the same message multiple times because you don't see it on the thread.  Just wait, it will appear.

I was talking to a friend about this exact topic a few months ago and her take was that a lot of younger women find that older men are better at respecting boundaries, ensuring consent, and also are less interested in simply getting their dick wet compared to men in their early to late 20’s. She went on to say that older men often have more specific skills and experience in BDSM that the younger women find appealing.

I think I’d be more inclined to see a problem if someone was being predatory— whether that’s grooming excessively young people, or exclusively dating people at a certain age (looking at you, Leo DiCaprio). As long as the younger partner is established, has their own ***, home, career, etc. I don’t have a major issue with it.
Always thought I was a cradle robber. Gal pal is afraid people think she’s a grave robber!
Is this something about the dynamic that makes them feel safe secure and loved
As an older Dom male who has had younger play partners and dynamic partners my personal experience was they wanted someone who had the experience to help guide them both in and outside of the bdsm lifestyle and as an older man I had the life experience and knowledge that comes with it that men thier own age lack.
I've been a Daddy Dom , Dominant, brat tamer (😴😩) and I've almost always had subs younger because it's a learning and growing very fun and hot experience for both as you learn your sub through conversation;)
Hello OP.
.
I wonder whether you mean pros and cons or dos and don'ts.
.
I imagine I'll be more useful with the latter. I apologize if it isn't useful or what you were looking for.
.
Do: all the regular good practice especially and including consent management, safewords.
.
Realize that younger subs are not just subs, they're also going through a lot of stuff for the first time/working out life and growing aspects. Navigate (through conversation, contracting, etc.) what's in and what's out more regularly so as to limit chances of overwhelm.
.
Have regular conversations about how you both manage communicating about the dynamic with others. Have clear and open conversations about love and relationships (and even about how a dynamic should/could/might end).
.
Be more careful and mindful of intensity levels for kinks.
.
Be a better listener.
.
Be honest about what you know/don't know.
.
Have the finance chat. It's usually just under the surface if not openly discussed. Misalignment here can cause unnecessary tension.
.
Enjoy the dynamic.
.
Don't:
Think that your extra years and knowledge means you don't have to use all the good practice (free will and consent, and more regular consent for new experiences).
.
Let your sub off the hook for bad behavior. Hold them accountable and call them out.
.
Lie about your experience.
.
Assume a position of superiority outside of the dynamic.
.

🙏
My wife and I just interviewed my new sub this morning and this post is spot on.
I’m 59 and she is 21.

He's one of the good ones

My vanilla dating habits tended to be dating men who were at least a few years older than me if not 5-10 years older. My interests since I started pursuing d/s relationships has followed that pattern. I have a hard time not seeing men who are younger than me as babies. Being with someone older has always just felt more secure so as a sub I look for a dom who is the same age or older than me.

This. Don't be someone to be afraid of and check in constantly. I would like to stress, the age gap is not a no-go, it just means added responsibility for the older part (regardless of being dom or sub) because of the advantage in life experience.

btw: Anyone else thought at first reading the op, this was meant a fishing thread for young subs? Glad it turned out otherwise.

Mh I love the dynamic as someone with an older sub
My two long-term exes, both lasting 10 years, were 11 years older than me. The situationship, after those two, lasted 5 years and he was 4 years older than me, although much more mature and experienced.
I am definitely drawn to older men, although I draw the line if they're in their late 60s and older than my dad. That just feels wrong!
The few dates I've been on with men younger, or the same age as me, did nothing for me.
Being with older men generally feels like they have their ducks in a row, they know exactly what they want, and most importantly, they know how to treat a submissive woman.
Most older men seem to treat me better. There is nothing nicer IMO than being treated like a queen in public, until we go home and the fun really begins.
I feel like older men are with me not because they need to be with me, but because they genuinely want to. And vice versa, because I don't NEED to see someone, I choose to because I enjoy their company.
Older men are also generally better Doms, going by my experience. Most tend to be happy to make our playtime last hours. They tend to spend time on the psychological aspects, as well as the physical, so it's more intense and a lot more enjoyable than a five-minute wonder.
The buildup can last days with older men, because they enjoy the thrill of teasing and making sure that I'm left more than satisfied, yet yearning for even more.
I can't speak for other sub women, but I like to know that I have fully satisfied my lover, but also know that he is going a little crazy because I leave him wanting more. I like to keep my Dom excited about the next time from the minute we part.
