Gay Relationship Advice: Age Gaps in Male lover 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 opt for 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 comprehend. 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 equal study indicated that age gap partners are more satisfied and more pledged to each other than partners of similar age–though there is some investigate 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 discover more details on these stats on this episode of the podcast I Love You Too, by Psychotherapist, Virtual dating Coach, Couples Counselor Jessica Engle,

Our Serve With Young Gay Men

We run a range of FREE peer-led events, workshops and projects for male lover and same-sex attracted guys aged 18-26.

Through our function, we provide a place where young guys can meet each other and make new friends in a safe, social environment. Here they can divide ideas with their peers and learn more about identity, coming out, sex and sexual health, well relationships and more.

Young homosexual men have lower rates of HIV and sexual health testing than older members of the collective. Of course, this makes sense. Only after people overcome the initial barriers to testing for the first time are they able to commit to a regular testing pattern. We help young guys to share their experiences around testing and grasp why regular testing is important for all sexually active gay men.

We serve in both a face-to-face capacity as well as online

In the summer of 1999, when he was 15, a youth I will refer to by only his first name, Jeffrey, finally admitted to himself that he was male lover. This discovery had been coming on for some time; he had noticed that he felt no attraction to girls and that he became aroused when showering with other boys after physical learning class. But Jeffrey is a devout Southern Baptist, attending church several times each week, where, he says, the pastor seems to make a signal of condemning homosexuality. Jeffrey knew of no homosexuals in his high university or in his compact town in the heart of the South. (He asked that I withhold not only his last name but also any other aspects of his life that might uncover his identity.) He prayed that his errant feelings were a phase. But as the truth gradually settled over him, he told me last summer during a phone conversation punctuated by nervous visits to his bedroom door to make sure no family member was listening in, he became suicidal.

“I’m a Christian – I’m like, how could God possibly do this to me?” he said. “My mother’s always saying, ‘It’ll be so wonderful when you meet that gorgeous Christian g

Parent Suspects That Youngster Might Be Gay

If you listen carefully and respond wisely, he might split more of his thought processes. This can lead to a helpful discussion of the subject. It will also strengthen your bond — and a good parent-child bond is one of the best lines of defense against homosexuality.
