Mature?

How much of an age gap does there have to be to be considered Mature in your mind? I've been wondering this for some time now.

The mature category is an absolute paradigm, not a matter of May/December relationships.

I'm sure most of the members on here consider 30 to be mature.

As I am 68 myself, anything under 50 is a mere child.
 
30 is about my age (I'm 25), 35 and above I consider 'older', and only when approaching 40 to 50 (based on how she looks) and older I think of her as 'mature'.
 
So it has more to due with the age than the actual age gap?

I disagree: I think it is really the age gap that makes a woman mature to you; when you're in your 30's, 40 and 50-year old women aren't that much older than you anymore.

Ok, so it is the age gap that matters, which then begs the question, what is an acceptable age gap?
 
This is just me, but i like men "legally" old enough to have possibly fathered me. That usually means 16 years my senior to maybe 30 years my senior. :eek:

Not sure if young males feel the same way about their "MILFs".
 
But, i want spanked! So, spank me for being good. And keep in contact with me, dammit!! :mad: i do have Y! Messenger and that pesky Lit PM thing! :p
 
My thoughts are more along the lines of Bedtime's.
If he's 18 to 27, he's young enough to have been my son. That would make me the mature one.
Snooper is old enough to be my daddy. That would make him the mature one when we finally have sex. (Hint, hint)

Otherwise, I think the Mature Category is more May/December than just two older people. "Older" is just too broad. Depending on how old the reader is, the couple may not be mature at all.

Just my humble opinion...

Exactly!




(It's like the one person on this board that wanted a story about a man in his 80s, i think. That's "too old" for me, in my own opinion, but that might be a "hot daddy" to a 60 year old woman!)
 
Right. S'all in your head - age play can involve a parent who is younger than the child, though technically, I'd say that ten years is enough to present a cultural gap wide enough to assume the older person is more mature, if nothing else in terms of coming to terms with how the world works - not always the case however, there are always experiental gaps - the elder may have more life experience which does tend to accumulate with age, the younger more sexual experience which accumulates with sex, etc.

In order to create a fictional climate for an age gap story, it's typical for the younger one to be... well, younger, early Twenties at most, and the elder to be at least over Thirty.

The tension here is between experience and innocence. We tend to equate youth with innocence, age with experience, so the gap in ages is not quite so critical as the gap in experience, and it becomes harder to remain innocent after Twenty One or so, although you can still pretend for a while.
 
"Mature" is anyone who reminds me of my relatives a generation ahead of me. Like my Daddy, or my Uncle, or... no, I'm not going to say the next one. But it's got to be based on your personal experience to be "fetish mature" if you know what I mean... ;);) :rose::kiss::rose::kiss:
