My FWB started a new dating account app just for casual sex/one night stands/casual sexting and set the age range as 18-35. They’re 26 years old.
Is it creepy/predatory to potentially have a one night stand/casual sex(ting) with someone as young as 18 at that age? I figured not since they’re not looking for anything long-term or romantic, but I’m on the spectrum so I’m really not good at assessing this kind of stuff in relationships.
I don't think there's anyway that can be construed as inherently problematic. Ultimately it's up to the youngest party to determine if they're comfortable or not. I'm sure there are 18 year olds who aren't emotionally ready for sexual relationships more generally, but I'm sure there are people much older than that in the same boat as well. Personally, as a cisgendered male, my first sexual encounter was age 17 or 18 and the sexual partner was at least 35.
I'm curious what makes a long-term relationship with a large age gap less problematic though... I'm in a relationship with someone 31 years my senior currently.
Holy crap!
that was like my response until i realized like “holy shit i did that exact fucking thing” i was in a sober living and some girl twice my age (because i was 18) persuaded me to walk to the cemetery wjth her..she went off with this younger guy who was 20? 21, 22? i fucked the older guy, he was definitely 35 or older and yeah that age gap is like, insane..…. but he did set an ok precedent in terms of like what i should expect from other people i think . he pulled out a condom without even asking (which is basically something i always, always end up having to do….its insane) and asked me repeatedly to stop or not (looking back 5 whole years later i feel like he was the uncomfortable party, maybe?)
but because it was in a graveyard , this is probably the source of all the bad things that have happened to me since thn……big oof
