Gerontophile?

  • August 6, 2021, 12:44pm

LOVE IS LOVE.

I am a 29 year old woman partnered with a 63 year old man. I don't love the term gerontophile, as it may have a creepy context, but I do want to spread the term, "intergenerational relationship", across this message board.

An intergenerational relationship is between two people at least 12 years apart, and as high as 40 years age difference. It truly is a healthy companionship - I relate to the women writing "~our dynamic is magical because I'm so stunning and he's so gentlemanly." I feel immensely respected by my man because he realizes how lucky he is to be with me, up against how taboo it is. & shattering the taboo is the fun for both parties in an intergenerational relationship ;)
