Be A Dick: Youthful fuck is perfectly healthy

Dear Dick,

I’m 38 and recently found myself cruised online by an 18-year-old guy. We hooked up, the sex was amazing, and over time we became regular fuck buddies. Now my feelings have deepened, and I think I have a crush on him. Is it ethical to date a man half your age?

In Love With a Barely Legal Man

See what Dick has to say. Or be a Dick yourself... post your advice here.

Dear Legal,

Dear Dick thinks it’s hilarious how straight people never worry about stuff like this but it always ties gays up in knots. Ask any 38-year-old heterosexual man if he’d enjoy an 18-year-old girlfriend. His head will explode from the dreamy magic of it all. It’s how Anna Nicole Smith wound up marrying a 107-year-old man. Anyway, gays think everything they do is fraught with pathology when it’s all just human nature. So what Dear Dick is saying is that this guy is obviously the type who likes older men (the universe always provides balance that way), so go be his boyfriend if he wants that to happen. It’ll last for as long as it lasts, and you’ll both enjoy each other’s company.

I always preferred older men when I was young and I thought this would eventually pass but it didn't. Now, at 39-Forever, it doesn't really matter any more. I like some people, I don't like others, regardless of their age.
But 35 I fell for this hot young 17yr old (legal where I am!), having no intention whatsoever to even sleep with him initially --- way too young! --- events turned out differently and we had a blissful and action-packed time together. Do remember, however, that the age gap makes one difference besides numbers - you have much more experience, sexually and otherwise, than he has, so sooner or later he will want to fly out and try other things and men. It's only natural at that age. It may last long or short but when that moment comes be prepared to let go and you will have a friend forever. Meanwhile, enjoy!

It sounds like the 'energy' between you two is a great match. That's what matters. I am with a much younger man for a few years. We consider ourselves engaged and are waiting until it's legal here in Texas to get married (did anyone see pigs flying?) or move to a country or state that practices equal rights for all. We spent the holidays with his family and it was very good. How often does love come along? Go where the heart leads...
