28 OLST GAY CELEBS (AND WHY WE STILL LOVE THEM)

Photographs by Matthew MorrocLike many gay men searchg for timacy the morn day, the photographer Matthew Morroc has found his share of onle. Many of his panns had survived both the AIDS crisis and heights of homophobia unknown to younger generatns. If you've been lookg for a way to meet other OlrGay members near you, you n now schle a meetup to get everyone together.

As his name suggts, Otterj draws his greatt spiratn om the slenr, hairy, beard, and often tattooed gay male subculture known as otters -- but not exclively. The men his photographs are unabashed exhibnists lookg for a place to f to a gay culture that has creasgly turned s back on a sexually aware world where leather and cisg are forms of liberatn. Posted Aug 22, 2019 10:48PM UTCI’ve add a fom so we n get to know each other, tch up on what’s new the “olr gay” world, etc.

6 - SEX AND OLR GAY MEN

Gass is a gay man whose only sexual attractn is to men signifintly olr than he is. The younger men have more tert sports than their partners and their gay peers who are attracted to men their own age. The younger men tend to be more mascule than their gay peers who are attracted to men their own age.

AGE DIFFERENC GAY COUPL

He wrote, “I stggle more to expla my attractn to olr gay men to my gay iends than I do to my straight iends.” It's difficult to expla when you don't unrstand yourself. An old le of thumb of unknown origs prcrib, “Never date anyone ls than half your age pl seven.” No one has llected reliable statistics, but age dispary seems to occur more equently gay relatnships than heterosexual on.

But the se of a celebry, the tabloid headl the labels may be ed sensatnalistic ways, or even clu more vilently homophobic nam like pedophile and predatory pervert. Another equent characteristic of the curse is the belief that the relatnship n’t be based on passn, that the only old men who thk about sex are “dirty old men.” I was once asked by a young gay man, “Why did you e out at 40? But the gay upl may be far more sexually active than many same-sex upl.

It has been suggted that satisfyg sex nnot occur whout wet kiss and swellg ans, which rc gay sexualy to nothg more than sex, and impli that olr men are pable of havg erectns. One recurrg qutn remas: “How n a man have a mutually satisfyg sex life wh a wife and then have a sudn revelatn that he’s gay? Don’t this ntradict the ia that gay people are ‘born this way’?” It n be nfg, even for those of who’ve experienced , but the md has a powerful pacy not to see what don't want to or isn't ready to perceive.

OLR 4 YOUNGER 4 OLR GAYS

I don’t believe we have a choice about our sexual attractns, but gay men and women—jt as any heterosexual person—have a choice about how they rpond to sexual sire. Sayg “I am gay” is a statement that our attractns, our behavr, and our self-inty are unison, and when that happens—if ever do— suggts a willgns to proclaim our sexualy regardls of the nsequenc. WE ARE an all-male clothg optnal bed and breakfast retreat terg to gay, bi, and straight men 21 years or olr.
