I was trying to find a thread here on that subject, which actually discusses the subject: one which has NOT degraded into a picture-showing thread. As if one could explain a seemingly strange phenomenon by posting mere pictures of young women with elder men.
I have known one of the sweetest young women on the planet, for more than a year by now, and she is four decades(+) my junior. A seemingly absurd situation; how can we possibly carry on a fully comprehensive relationship? With not only an enticing sexual side (that was at first our only natural resonance), but also a tingling of our minds and a fondling of our souls.
It did not work out so well for quite a while, until two things happened: I realized finally how much we have fallen in love with each other, and how much she is giving me. And she made a tremendous effort understanding the whole man in me. Not easy at all for a young woman. For me age is not only a number; rather it is bringing me ever closer to my expiration date with every passing month.
I read on a thread that one young person broke off with an elder one, because the elder one still remembered the Berlin Wall coming down. Hell, I grew up when that wall had never even been built and planned yet, and I understand the reasons also, why it was necessary to build it. Not trivial for people two generations apart to develop an understanding of what life was like, when the other one grew up. Especially when that growing up took place in different countries.
And to learn the finesse of the language the other one speaks, and what's more difficult: the ingrained habits of each generation. So we have accomplished quite a bit; most of it because of her doing and her effort. But after we managed to get it all done, sort of, there has been an enormous amount of "cross-pollination" – as I like to call it – between us. I pick up things, and she picks up things we would not otherwise, were we not a couple in love.
And there seems to be one factor, which generally does not exist between people of similar ages: erotica and sex can be much more rewarding. Not to mention the bonding together of our souls. Sapiosexuality plays a significant role, I would say. And her sheer beauty of course. Beauty elder men usually don't get to experience intimately. She makes me feel quite a bit younger, and I contribute a bit to her understanding and figuring out "how to look behind the curtain" of stuff in life.
So mastering the difficulties and overcoming the roadblocks inherent in an OLD with YOUNG relationship is well worth it, I posit. At least for us, I'd say. The way we feel right now, we wouldn't have any other way.
