When my lover of 29 years died suddenly some years ago I found myself, after a year, growing very close to a man 30 years younger than myself. He was turned on by my confidence and knowledge of the world. He claimed he found guys his own age shallow and boring. We had a very good and fun relationship for about a decade and despite his finding a new partner we have remained close friends. So, I consider ours to have been successful and rewarding.
I really don't care what other people do as long as they are not hurting other people and animals
I'm very late to the comments here, but I have a story. I met my husband when he was 25 and I was 40. I was shamed by a lot of people who said I had deprived him from having a relationship where he and someone could grow up and grow old together. That shame went on right up to the time when my husband had a stroke and died at age 50, leaving a sad old man of 65 alone and lost.
And you should never have been shamed. You married the person you loved, and to me, that is all that matters. I am sure he was thankful to have met you, and for being able to share a life together with you. I am 38, and have happily dated older and younger (my two types tend to be just a little younger at 24-30, and just a little older at 40-45. As I always say, it’s a meeting of two souls, and souls often defy age and time.
Never should had been shamed. Nothing wrong with what two ADULTS DECIDE
😢
I am 55 and my boyfriend is 38. Like you, we met when he was 25. I was fortunate that people never really judged our age difference - people who knew him knew about his maturity level so that was never really an issue. Occasionally we have the conversation about our future and I tell him I worry about who will take care of him after I am gone. He gets upset with that and says “who knows maybe I’ll go first” which pains me to hear. You never know what is going to happen in life. The best thing I suppose is be prepared and cherish every moment together.
When I was 20, I had a two year relationship with a 54 year old. Two of the best years of my life.
I was hit on by a 24 year old when I was 50... I had my finger hovering over the "block" button because of the age gap, but the conversation was interesting. We met, and I have to admit I was charmed. I hadn't had that much fun in a long time. Then the sobbing came, the threats of suicide, and the constant emotional abuse. I had never dealt with emotional abuse before and I didn't know how to handle it, all I knew is that I didn't want them to commit suicide and that I wanted them to have a good life. I didn't go looking for this. Two years later, my life has been nearly completely destroyed and the individual is out there moving from one person to another destroying one person after another. I'm in no way arguing that young people need to be protected from older people, however, sometimes older people don't realize what's happening until it's too late too. And it's always hard to let go of someone who is threatening suicide. I'm not rich, I didn't have anything to offer but companionship and hopefully some wisdom. I almost blocked them before this ever started because I was just afraid of the age gap and how it would be perceived. Had I known it was going to destroy my life, I would have blocked and moved out of the damn country.
Ugh. Sorry to hear that. Awful.
young people SUCK! in most ways except physically hehe
I am in a relationship that has a 19 year age gap. Doesn’t matter to us, we clicked together like magnets. But oh, in public i’ve taken a lot of morally outraged stares, comments etc. when it dawns on them that no, he isn’t my son. What the hell is all the hysteria about? Should my partner run away shouting “stranger danger!” ? 😂
We have the same age gap, and have been the happiest 2 guys ever for 11 years..and still happy !!
My grandparents were more than 20 years different in age, and my grandmother’s 4 sisters all married men over 20 years their senior. All the respective husbands had come back from 6 years of World War 1. Without a solitary exception, every one of these marriages lasted for life - 50 years or more, and only ended with the death of one or other of the spouses, usually the man. I have never pursued men younger than me, but have invariably been in relationships with younger men who pursued me, to my great surprise then and now. All three lasted minimum 7 years, the last until the death of my partner from cancer at age 24. If the two parties are over the legal age, and freely consent to enter or leave the relationship, then leave them the hell alone.
Thank you. Between ages 19-25, I had a string of 40yr olds who adored me as I did them. They were certainly attracted to my youth as much as I was attracted to their maturity and the stability and they were just so much more interesting than 99% of guys my age. I spent 6 years with one of those men and he is one of the dearest friends I have today.
Treat one another with care. Follow the campground rules regardless of the dynamics.
I tend to be into younger guys but I personally feel like having a relationship that is way younger than me is problematic just due to life experiences. But then I''ve known 20 year olds that are far more mature than 40 year olds. And I look at a relationship like Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black and it seems to be amazing and satisfying to both of them. So ultimately it's down to each couple, and individuals being open and honest with each other.
Well argued video, thanks

I don’t know why you don’t have more subs than me. Wonderful channel. I’m sure you’ll blow up. I especially enjoyed this video. Huge age gap here, long, stable monogamous relationship here and I dont think either of us has ever been happier.
Well said. Comprehensive sex education is a MUST. Sadly, we have “Moms for Liberty” (or as I call them “Moms for Fascism”) in my area, and they have a stranglehold on our local and state politics here. Your points on age gaps are thoughtful and accurate. I have dated both older and younger adults (as an adult), and find that the emotional maturity of the individual is as you suggested, not always correlated to age. Power dynamics are an issue at any age, and (sadly) abusive situations happen and are often a pattern for victims and those who abuse. My “type” seems to be guys in their 20s who are emotionally mature, and that was as true when I was 18, as it is now that I’m in my mid 30s. Very interesting topic!
Not sure about you not getting sugar daddy atention because you're adorable. Myself, i prefer to be with guys close to my own age bt that's my choice. What I find both hypocritical and diagusting is that when straight guys have a younger partner they get a high-five, but gay men get treated like predatory perverts.
FACTS!!!!!
I'm another one that's late to this. Should be December 2023. Happily find myself in a very fulfilling with 22-year-old biracial beautiful young man. I'm 59 years old Love him to death college grad. Just got his masters and wants to marry me crazy. He's been chasing me since he was 19 and I was always concerned but I grew to love him and explained all my reasons for not wanting to be with him and my later years but he asked if I loved him and I told him. Hell yeah and we agreed that if it didn't work, we still have the same love that we shared forever being physical or having any type of relationship. And he asked me just to give him a chance to spend the best decision I've made in any of my dating relationships
I like the fact that you feel two 19 yo with the same young mindset, not really knowing what they want, can marry, but it is totally not fine when that 19 yo wants to marry a 30yo. You made a good point. I would like to go one step further and say that years ago it wasn’t uncommon for 15 and 16 yo young adults to marry. And that in most cases, they stayed married all their lives. I sometimes think we push upon age as a defining factor for being able to marry, drink, smoke, when in fact it’s not the age number that is the factor, but the age mentality.
From what I hear, and I’ve talked to several younger and older males, is that for the younger male, they are looking for someone who is secure in their life, stable, loving, caring, and won’t up and leave at the drop of a hat. Apparently in youth, they boys tend to want to play games, and not be serious about relationships. It could be true. But then again, I don’t want to apply that to all young males. As for the mature older male, when looking for a younger male, looks at their youthfulness, energy, passion, and the ability to make love at the drop of a hat. (Yeah, sex had to come into the topic eventually) it’s not about them being mentally young still at 30, although it may make them feel young for sure.
Is it a perfect relationship when there is such an age gap? Not really. I’m yes, for the most part age gap relationships have survived, and if they live together long enough, the gap seems closer. The downside, is that the older male will only have so many more years on this earth, while the younger male can expect to live 30 more years without his partner. But in this day and age, even that can be overcome, since there is always someone out there for the survivors.
I honestly feel that the generational gap relationships are wonderful for those who want something unique. As for the people who scoff, ridicule, and shame the couples that love what they have, they need to spend more time worrying how their relationships are holding up, instead of interfering with those of us who are minding ours. It’s tough enough to have a solid relationship without having other people trying to ruin what the generational relationships have.
For you young males, if you feel the need for someone older, don’t hesitate to seek out that man in your life. And for the mature male, keep an eye out for that special young man who may need you in so many ways.
Live and let love❤❤
I'm a less than average looking guy. I am not unfriendly, but I prefer to be alone. To some people, they see me as "available" because of being single, without realizing it's how I prefer to live.
At least a dozen people, of both genders, straight, gay, bi, have pursued me vigorously. People 20 years older than me, and 25 years younger too. Why do so many people ignore my preference to be alone? Im NOT lonely.
I'm 70 years old now, so I think its been about 5 years since someone pursued me. That said, I'm practically a hermit, and now that I'm retired, I dont have to encounter the swaying masses; their eager faces turning. (apologies to Walt Whitman). I see my 3 nephews once a month. We go for groceries and lunch in a restaurant: thats as much socializing as I want.
Speaker Mike Johnson gives me the heebie-jeebies. He's a good example of an older guy manipulating a younger person re: his so called "adopted son".
I was surprised that you never explored the possibility that two people regardless of age could be deeply in love and that might be the sole reason why they’re together.
Because this guy's intellect is an inch deep. He is basically repeating the same stereotypes that he ridiculed in the video. He's trying to have it both ways. I think he only gets 1000s of views because he puts his cute face in every thumbnail. There really isn't much substance here.
That was me. Big age gap. And when I told him once. They are talking about us because I'm so much older. His response was priceless. He said, "they don't understand our love". God I miss him.
"guilty" young = hot THATS IT! @@dlg5485
Well in the Roman days it was quite normal for a big age gap
Well done! If I ever meet my soul mate, if he is older or younger, I hope we don't care about the other's age. And to be sure, he'll be over 18.
I've always like younger guys, I'm currently in a stable and loving relationship with a guy 38 yrs younger than myself. We have a lot of fun together going out, staying in having random date nights, etc... No one controls the other, but we do have basically rules and guidelines. Some he set, some I set and some mutually decided on. And btw, I'm almost 60 and he's in his early 20s. His parents were quite concerned about my age and such but once the really got to know me, they've come to love me like a SIL and I love them as well. To me, even a 50 or 60 year gap isn't bad as long as both treat each other with love and respect. I would love to hear others opinions including our wonderful host here. I would love to have an in-depth conversation with him on the subject.
I am 55 and my boyfriend is 38. We met when he was 25. He always had a maturity level closer to older men than men if his age. I think a lot of this had to do with his childhood. He had an older sister who was placed into foster care. He never met her. Her mom kicked his dad out before he was born and he wound up leaving the country. So it was just him and his mom. They lived in a park bathroom after he was born until social services found a place for them to live. As he got older he had increased responsibility to keep their relationship as his mother was disabled and was illiterate. It got to the point where he dropped out of school in 9th grade. School just wasn’t providing him with the pragmatic needs just to survive. I can’t blame Hime. But all of this made him a very mature and responsible 25 year old. If it wasn’t for this I doubt we woolier have lasted. While there is an age gap I never felt like there was.
I am 47 and literally 95% of guys who hit on me both through the apps like Grindr and Scruff and also the dating apps are in the age range of 19-28. When I was younger I was never interested in guys older or younger than 2-3 years of me. I never realized until I got older just how many young guys are into older guys. It is staggering.
Must be NICE! lol wish I had that "Problem" ... mine is the opposite
My sister was 17 years old in a relationship with a 35 year old guy.
I took a 12 grade law class, and I was reading the criminal code 📚 and going by what I read. He was older, taller, and heavier than my sister, which means my brother in law is a male sexual offender by the criminal codes book.🏳️🌈🇨🇦
Very articulate and presented..... well done
Maybe it's just the content of this video, but I'd love to see you and stanchris make some segments together. I think your personalities and production styles would make an interesting dynamic.
Thank you for a great video!
Funny, I see him more with Jack Merrydew or Artem Boi, but Stan Chris could be interesting too
Frankly, my affair (at 21, when i could still pass for 15....) with a college professor was some of the most fun i ever had in my life. Trouble was, my mother's church friends all spread rumours that i was being abused against my will. Nothing could be further from the truth. The real problem was 2 years later, a fellow much closer to my real age, very abusive, made me feel like i was a piece of meat. But then, no little church ladies yapped about my being abused, truthful though that might have been. Went through marriage and divorce, only to FINALLY meet a partner who was not abusive. although we LOOKED different in ages, we were only 3 years apart. Then he got cancer and passed away. Now I'm single and getting on with things. Live and learn.
Abuse is when one benefits significantly more than the other. This is not directly correlated with an age gap.
Excellent discussion.
Please do this video again in several years. I’m sincerely curious how views and issues in the gay community evolve as societal norms change.
“Coming Out” in the early 1980’s during the exploding HIV/AIDS epidemic presented a lot of very different challenges and issues than today obviously. For a long time, in the part of the country where I lived, just finding someone to love and ‘hang on to’ who hopefully would be alive in six months presented many emotional and deeply psychological issues in the gay community that thankfully, most people will not likely have to face today.
Please note that I refer to the “gay community” only because that was the community I was a member of and dealt with on a regular bases. I do not want anyone to misunderstand or underestimate the deep impact HIV/AIDS had on the rest of the LGBTQ+ and heterosexual communities. Unfortunately, these same issues continue to this day.
Let's be clear. Straight Pride Month starts Jan 1 and ends Dec 31.
On the main topic people are all sorts of different. It's simply true that some young people are attracted to older ones and vice versa. Older person can offer security, stability, mature role model and diverse interests. And vice versa. Is there a potential for abuse? Sure but you cannot say its universal. My husband is 9 years younger than me but we met thirty years ago when it was a bigger differential.
I couldn't tell what i wanted in a relationship until I had many trials and errors up till the age of 25, at 29 I now never will date someone under that age because they too have no idea what they want.
I.L TAKE MY TIME. BUT CAN RESPECT WHOEVER
In my experience younger guys in gay remaltionships are the more shrewed party, not to mention they are often narcissistic and Machiavellian and preying on an older guys insecurities to keep them buying into their ecosystem. Not every guy with daddy issues is a sociopathic gold digger, but it exists a lot. Some of them are experts at utilizing more than 1 relationship for personal gain.
Sociopathy is not age dependent, and when you meet one, they can easily fool and manipulate you despite their younger age, to the point where it is actually scary.
So I completely agree that younger guys are often not the clueless ones. It is often rather the opposite. It is like the misconstrued "believe all women" injunction. Like, no Ellen Degeneres, Meghan Markle, Amber Heard? Female and gay sociopathy is often associated with covert narcissism and deception, and therefore few of them get caught flat out lying. On the surface they can easily present themselves as paragons of virtue.
Your video was helpful in clearing that age-related stereotype. I mean look at you, you certainly seem very aware of what you are doing and you can't be more than 23 years old?
I've observed a patient who manipulated multiple older partners between ages 15 and 21 using dissociated personalities. These older men, often shy and insecure, were unaware of being deceived. Those men were absolutely clueless and completely unaware of being cheated on. As a sociopath his master mind was using multiple personalities, to create believable personas, and the dissociated personality structure made it impossible for even those experienced men to detect that anything is wrong, since each personality was compartmentalized and unaware (amnesic) of what the other hand was doing. In my experience, older men are far from predatory when they seek relationships with younger adults. They were usually the shy, insecure, in the closet gay at school who interiorized their parent's dislike for homosexuality due to too much empathy, and as a result ended up not acting on their sexuality. They typically seek relationships with younger adults, providing them with parental-like support and love, but often don't receive equal love in return. By choosing to give into their nurturing parental side, they end up fulfilling their desire for children but at the expense of their romantic satisfaction. Those are adults that crave an equal-to-equal relationship while at the same time going for immature, dramatic and co-dependent types. They desire balanced relationships but tend to choose immature, co-dependent partners, leading to exhaustion over time.
Younger individuals in these relationships, dealing with their own issues, seek either emotional support or sexual encounters, but struggle to combine these into a unified relationship. However, such relationships can be therapeutic. On the other hand, reliving the parental trauma over and over again can actually help overcome the insecurities. Exposure therapy is slow but can help them confront and overcome their fear of failure. Age difference relationships are often a path of healing for both parties. I have had younger patients who initially entered a relationship with insecurities and to gain financial help, but 10 years later, after they learnt to love themselves, the relationship then morphed into an actual love relationship.
In conclusion, I advise older individuals to openly pursue their desires, accept potential rejection, and move on. This can lead to healthier, more balanced relationships based on actual love rather than fetishized love. It's crucial to remember that relationships are a spectrum, and success varies from pairing to pairing. The deeper thhe trauma the least likely it is such partners will evolve out of a toxic pattern. But some combinations will either become healthy or at least give the impetus to break the cycle.
Shouldn't matter if your in love and mature enough to know its love, not out of a need to lessen a current hardship. When two souls connect its the most amazing feeling. Having your former boss's now mature kid tell you they had a huge crush on you in there teens... awkward and not that good a feeling, aside from there feeling comfortable enough to tell you. Having your teen kid tell you they like someone older... as a father, that's a conversation you hope you never have to have. Baptism under fire, there is only one answer to that bomb drop. Still good to know as a dad that your relationship with your child is strong enough they can talk to you about such matters. I had an advantage not many have tho... my father in law, rest his soul, owned a shotgun and wasn't afraid to put the fear of god into anyone who was dating his grandkid. lol
you handled this subject very well...
Would you date or get married to someone 20 to 30 years older than you?
Hello. I was shown a video on my feed. I went and watched a few of your other videos. I decided to subscribed. I subscribed to your channel today. I had to comment and say this was an interesting topic. I have no issues with age difference relationships or interracial relationships. I would date someone younger than me. At the end of the day that is between mature consenting adults. There are many have have found fulfillment in them. There are many who have channels on You Tube as well. You put a lot of thought into what you stated and it was well structured. This was nice to see. I just wanted to say hello and that you are quite handsome as well. Please take care.
you never said you would date a man your age or older... heh
You haven’t covered when young guys prey on older guys. Lots of shrewd lads out there looking to scam unsuspecting older guys esp for drugs or money.
I don't see a problem between 2 consenting adults. I only like younger guys than me, and find many guys interested in me too. I'd never be with or date anyone underage.
what if "unserage" (or the legality aspect) was removed ????:)
First I must say your voice is very soothing and easy to listen to. You are very handsome attractive to me. Definitely called mature for my age as you have been described before. You have some great thoughts and ideas. I'm curious where you developed such good common sense knowledge of gay men?
When I was 21 or 22, someone I respected told me it was best to put off marriage until your mid thirties. The idea was that we really can’t know ourselves until we actually have some living under our belts, so it doesn’t make much sense to commit to spending the rest of your life to someone. He said it can work, if both people can navigate all those life changes together. But considering how many marriages end in divorce, and how many of even among those that stay together are miserable, we really owe it to ourselves to wait. It made sense then and still does…though I confess that I met my partner when I was 30.
I enjoyed this video, but while it addresses the issue of age gap relationships, it doesn’t discuss just age gap sex. Are your views about hookups the same? I can see many of the same concerns being valid, though others not really applying. And I have to take the possibly unpopular position that I think there at least a few gender-based differences when it comes to casual sex and age that are at least worth discussing, even if the result is to discover they aren’t important. But the possibility of pregnancy for young women seems pretty pivotal to me. Just saying…maybe much older, potentially more persuasive men might leave young women in a vastly worse-off situation after a hook up than an old/young gay hook up is likely to.
Hey as long as you're consenting adults that is all that matters don't let anyone tell you what you need to do period and don't deprive yourself of happiness because you're worried what judgement you fave down the road just be happy don't waste your life like I did believing in false hope and unntainneaable happiness that is not meant for you but everyone else unfortunately
I feel like relationships have a low probability of working out to begin with, and an age-gap is just another variable in a complex mixture of social dynamics and individual differences.
My sample size is 8. I've been in 8 relationships: 2 younger guys, 4 older guys, 2 same-age (less than a year difference). These relationships have ranged between about a decade younger to about a decade older.
When I compare the power dynamics between the relationship that I was a decade younger versus the one that I was a decade older (and in all of my other relationships tbh), I was always the mellow pushover that would always cave first to keep the peace... LUL so some things never change?
In all of my relationships, I try to be as honest and transparent and communicate the best I can, and honestly, I don't possess the higher-level social skills needed to play mind games. All of my relationships had one thing in common, I enjoyed their company, and to the best of my knowledge, they enjoyed my company.
I definitely think wealth-gap and status-gap are something that can play an interesting dynamic! I'd imagine there is a positive correlation with age-gap, in which case, age almost becomes a probabilistic indicator of wealth and status rather than anything relating to the biology and experiences of an individual, which is a thought-provoking idea in itself.
Great Vid.
Someone told me, I had 5 of the best years of my life with a beautiful man 30 years younger than me. But he was the predator If there was one. I wish it had never ended. But it did. He then said, it would make a great movie.
Looking very cute! Love the hair.
That last one from the first set of comments was kinda really sexy lol like in a grimy kinda way. Lol
You seem really smart and mature for your age. What are you doing Saturday night?😃
My friend is 65 and his significant other is 23. They have an AWESOME relationship.
That is just wrong
It ain't tricking if you got it.
😂 for ya. 🕊😇 Rest in Peace. Go to your husband. 🏳️🌈🇨🇦
Are you trying to drive me crazy?
Mental Corruption ~ The ability to inflict significant damage to a persons mental and emotional state, rendering them vulnerable.
Used by the powerful.
As a clinical psychologist who specializes in trauma I’d like to thank u for covering the subject of Age Gapped relationships. You’ve made some very salient points here and u are very articulate. There isn’t a lot of research into this area as u stated. I would have an issue where the younger of the two partners has a history of childhood trauma. Any number of clinical presentations for example, a lack of Whole Object relations and/or Object Constancy pose a problem here. It’s also important to understand that the brain (pre-frontal cortex) isn’t fully formed until approximately 24 years. The same is true for the grey matter (for example, (the hypothalamus, limbic system, etc., though to a lesser extent. All drives are primitive in nature as you are well aware of and are located in the hind brain (reptilian brain). But what we’re talking about is specifically sex drive. Goal oriented behaviour, reasoning, decision making and consequences, impulse control, morality are again governed by the prefrontal cortex. So, since I’ve already stated that brain formation isn’t complete until 24 years, by extension the male demographic 16-24 years is a somewhat vulnerable period in development. It’s true of course that adolescents have sexual encounters/relationships but I feel strongly that Age gapped relationships here are inappropriate. Sure by the age of 24 any male can consent to sexual encounters/relationships. And in the absence of trauma Age gapped relationships are not necessarily inappropriate. I don’t care how old the other individual is, really.
The “daddy issue,” “predatory behaviour,” or whatever conceptualizations or value judgments simply are irrelevant. These issues are a “cultural creation,” and largely based on religious based morality. They are insignificant. So then, if for example a 26 yo male wants to be with a 55 yo male or vice versa, I see no issues, or psychpathology. We shouldn’t allow other peoples’ beliefs, values, or value judgements define us or determine what we should or shouldn’t do. As long as both individuals are consenting adults it’s their business.
Finally, as I’ve alluded to, relationships between for example a male age 50 years and an adolescent are inappropriate, wrong and in the case of those aged 14-16 years, illegal. There is another term we use for
men aged 25+ who prey on those aged 14-17 years old, Paedophiles, DSM 5TR, APA).
And I haven’t even touched upon the construct of the male ego! But all is well if the behaviour isn’t ego dystonic.
Thanks for reading now let’s do some drugs
SEX EDUCATION!!!!
Chariotz your video is brilliant and I just love the dark humour and sarcasm and ur so damn fine! 🤗
Patrick K Sicard PsyD
Now let’s have sex with really mature teens! Start grooming!!!!
I’m 50 and I love 20 yo, 30 yo 40 yo and even 50 yo guys. Don’t say that 20 yo guys can’t make choices, set boundaries, mental age and maturity are mutually exclusive, they have life experience, make informed choices, they’re sweet, virile, delightful to be around bc of their vibrancy and spirit.
Call me a pedo or better yet, don’t ever call me
Okay maybe I’m a s daddy who cares as long as we’re happy, content and at peace.
They have really good jam too 👅
Grooming never lead to long healthy relationships. Grooming to me is no better than a predator. Or both the same.
i think age gap discourse is super puritanical and has very little to do with actual sexual violence tbh
How old are you..weight height
Onlyfans?
@@HamiltonRb only fans
Maybe do he next video shirtless...
Thanks for the video. It isn’t really what I was looking for since I’m not dating teens not thinking about it, but it is interesting. I just ended a 17 year relationship with someone the same age as me, but before that ended I had a one year relationship with a 27 year old (I was 45). I fell head over heals in love, but ultimately chose to try (in vain) to make my marriage work. Part of the reason I didn’t leave with him was shame and fear that the age difference would mean that we were destined to fail. A year of therapy and a divorce later I’m moving on. But as a single, soon to be 47 year old, gay man I do wonder if I should set myself a lower age limit. 🤔
Dude, lol so not a jock or finance bro. 40 year old bear bottom dating multiple guys 18-32.
Lots of older people in here defending age gap relationships but interesting how I don’t see anyone who is the younger person in the relationship in these comments.
Because they don't care about your opinion and they are shamed less than the older party.
the "younger" boys have more & better things to do thAn read you-tuber comments? hehe
I’m in my 50s and find you incredibly attractive is that wrong?
Just a question btw
Their is 12 years between my husband and I He was 30 when me met me 42. It was never an issue and still isn’t 25 years later. I do have to admit as now I’m 69 he is 57 and although I am in great shape for my age I have to work a little harder to keep my age less of an issue. Trust me with a little help from the little blue pill I still keep up just fine in the bedroom!
