I am not handsome but the young guy is stunning. He liked me because I looked older than I am. He has a partner of 74 with whom he still hs sex. He has no interest whatsoever with young handsome guys. The relationship with him was very intense and left me very bruised when he finished it. Why did it end you might ask ? First of all because I was too involved and more importantly because at 33 he feels he has only a few years left to conquer as many older guys as possible while his partner is happy to let him play. Through him I have met many young guys in the same position and all of them need multiple partners. Could it be insecurity ?<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-9956">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I am a 57 year old male who never even heard the word Gerontophil until about 5 months ago when a young guy of 32 and I began seeing each other.

With consenting adutls, yes it is a just as healty of a relationship as any other; however, there have been serial rapist that target the elderly which falls into the unhealty. The "Gerontophile" rapist is very uncommon, yet they are difficult to apprehend due to their victim's either not surviving for trail or suffering from dementia.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-9046">1</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I beleive that there might be a requirement for two seperate terms for this.

I know many persons like this because I am a member of social networking sites that bring younger and older persons together. These persons have no attraction whatsoever to persons in their own age cohort and often complain how hard it is to meet people in an older age group.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-8565">4</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> A gerontophile is a person who has a sexual attraction for persons who are substantially older then themselves.
