Not in my case, I'm in the UK and the age of consent has always been 16 yet I'm not attracted to teenagers...apart from the one I like now who is 22 ( he was 19 when I first met him), we may be biologically equipped to have sex at 12 but emotionally we are not, a child of 2 can by rights cross a road alone but we would not let them do so. (sorry not the best analogy but I'm low on caffeine) astrologically the first nodal return occurs at 18 and a half and there may be a connection to that? IP: Logged |

Here are some more tips that may sound strange to you, but if you can broaden your vision and think more creatively, you will have more and more opportunities to be creative with your relationship, whether it be this one or any other relationship in other permutations...In a capsule,it all boils down to your perspective towards this relationship 1) Never expect any sense of permanence other than enjoying your present moment. In other words always be prepared for the possibility of changes on either sides.The lesser your expectations are, the more your chances will be of a potentially happier life. This does not mean you don't get to enjoy a normal ;all I am saying is do not spend your present by fearing your future that did not even happen yet. 3) My suggested approach towards ANY relationship is to take it more as an opportunity for both to teach and/or learn something from each other; just because he is older than you does not mean he has nothing to learn from it. I believe in synchronicity; there is always some reason why we attract people into our lives. People in general, have this polluted this word called 'soul mate', as if it something that only certain set of people are qualified to be your 'chosen soul mate'. Every person that you interact with at that point in time, is your soul mate. Nothing happens by accident. If you can grasp the intrinsic meaning behind my words, you will see what kind of a paradigm shift it will bring upon you, and from then on nothing will remain a puzzle anymore. Again, it is all a matter of your PERSPECTIVES.
So don't insist on having a permanent formula at least in the formative years of your relation (women are usually guilty here).You will always learn something out of it no matter what the outcome will be.But for this you need to have implicit trust on yourself that no matter what the outcome is, you will still have a positive effect out of it. So it depends on the meaning you choose to give to this outcome that determines the true fate your relationship. Trust me no one can determine the outcome of your fate but yourself; not even your partner. I am not speaking figuratively here. IP: Logged |

BanxxManxx quote: wait. I am probably just reading this wrong, just ignore me if I am but did you say that when you were 20 you got with 90 year olds?
I think you are referring to my post, not dysfunctionalmystic's. The answer is yes! Excerpt from an old post of mine: quote: Now what I am going to say may sound weird or kinky...but I do not feel that way. It was very tender and surreal in some ways. But I feel it was a gift both given and received. This older gentleman I had know for 12 years...was approaching his 96th birthday. He was spry and fit as a far younger man. Sharp of mind also. Well I was sitting with him one day on a steps behind his barn. We were just sitting there and he suddenly began speaking very softly of his first and second wives. He told me how he never saw either one of them in their all together. Nude that is. How they both dressed and undressed and slipped into bed. How they did this in a closet so he never saw them. I kept listening...wondering where he was going with this. I was 27 years old at the time. He told me how neither one let him touch their breasts. They wore binders instead of bras. Still trying to keep the image of a flat chested 1920s flapper or a girlish Victorian figure. He told me how his mother was an ample bosomed woman and was not afraid to let him lean against her chest and be held by her when he was a child 90 years ago. He spoke of being faithful to them both. (the wives) He then looked deeply into my eyes and took both my hands and said.."What I would give to feel a woman's breast on my hands or to lean my face against." He was so serious, and pleading was in his eyes. I lifted his hands to my chest...he was trembling...I put one of his hands gently inside my shirt(I was not wearing a bra)....and then he closed his eyes and a look of such reverence and peace...not lust ...crossed his dear sweet handsome old face. I opened my shirt and he opened his eyes. His hands drew back slowly...he had tears streaming down his face but he was no longer trembling. He breathed a thank you softly and most heartfelt...and like some sacred ritual he slowly closed my shirt and buttoned each button ever so slowly and gently. Then he began crying in big shaking sobs and laid his head upon my now covered chest. I held him and for many minutes we sat like that...then to my amazement he began to snore!!!!! I let him sleep there on my bosom as I held him(he was a small man). Then he stirred and opened his eyes, and looked up at me, and said: I dreamt of my mother. I don't think I will be here long after my birthday(the 96th. one) and I want a birthday party. He had his birthday party! It was very nice! Three weeks later he quietly slipped out of this life.(As I write this..it still chokes me up...I loved him ) Love is not always about sex. Touching is not always about sex. Intimacy can be precious, sacred, and a gift of love, compassion and caring for another person. This memory of that special encounter still brings tears of sweet joy and sadness to me after so many years.

More from that old thread. quote: Magus! Thank you! I was trying to show that love has many ways of being expressed and age is not a factor. But I really like how you pointed out the fact that my experience very well expresses the societal and dogmatic warpings of our natural instincts of love and sharing tenderness..and yes...even wild mad passionate sexual ecstasies with whomever we choose and how and what we do.Yes...he and I had alot of long talks over the 12 years I knew him. He called me his barefoot girl or angel of mercy...depending on his mood and all. I often went without shoes...and this for some reason fasinated him. He was a very sweet but sad man. He had long but very proper marriages but never passion. That was the only time things became that intimate physically with him. I would not have minded if he had come on to me...but I was afraid I would give him a heart attack. I know this sounds strange...but he was still handsome...he smelled great and had lovely soulfull eyes. I would have been honoured if he had wanted to be more intimate with me. I did not find him repulsive in the least. Perhaps I even gained some good Karma because of how I felt about him and other old people when I was young. I am not young...yet I find the gifts I gave of myself to those who were much older is now returning to me in so many ways. I feel blessed. I treasure the memories of my old loves now passed on...and it is nice to be able to share that after so long... You know...that story of my experience could be called..the first time..the only time..the last time... Spooky! For it was his first and his only and his last touch and sight of a breast bared and allowed to see and touch. Yes...he loved his mother dearly...and the nearer to his dying day..the more he spoke of her and how she held him so long ago..90 years for him...until societal mores dictated that a boy over 6 should not lay his head upon his mother's bosom because that was not nice and all that crap. Yes..mores..societal dictates..customs...dogmatic views... all serve quite often to limit unfairly and warp our natural inclinations to love and give. Thanks again Magus!
BTW.....102 was my oldest intimacy experience. IP: Logged |

it's funny, we were just talking about this last night among friends. we were saying novels and especially films like Lolita and Death in Venice would not have had the great success they had, had it been today. there are "controversial" films about under-age/child sexuality still coming out, but with an entirely different intention and reception by the audience than back in those days. great many "crimes" have gone unnoticed or un-punished because the "awareness" was lower. also, 50-100+ years ago children may have matured psychologically earlier as well, due to more challenging environments they grew up in. time has changed. on the positive side, children are more protected. on the negative side, people raise their eyebrow at the sight of a man in his 50s marrying a woman in her twenties! that used to be pretty normal in the past. actually it was not exceptionally strange either, for the woman to be older than her spouse. it may also depend on which part of the world too though.

Exactly! We must obey the laws of society. And yes, I was very sexually aware as young as 4, I KNEW what orgasms were and had them via self pleasuring. However, emotionally I feel I was not mature enough for any serious relationships with sex until I was 18; and in retrospect, more likely 23 or so. So yes, there is a big difference betwixt the age of sexually aware and emotionally ready for such. That is why there are laws to protect the very sexual but emotionally immature minor age folks under age 18. Also, without such laws, the sexual predators would get away with far more than they do already. ------------------ I remember, therefore I am immortal~LEXX Learning is eternal; all true Gods know this simple truth~LEXX ~Blinding ignorance does mislead us.

And i quoted u Noting how process of maturing around 18 is culturally and socially caused. While u matured sexually around 23,which is true example of how maturing actually performs: on individual basis. There is so much rules,contra-natural rules:when boy is taught to find a girl and girl to find a boy. It is far from one's natural inclanations which could turn out to be same-sex. Society often fights nature. Goes against it. Also,tr.uranus sq natal uranus happens around 21... This and what dysfunctionalmystic said. So,we are not totally deaf to nature's course IP: Logged |

VenusDiSirius Physically I was in puberty beginning at 8 years old, and knew and had orgasms as young as 4. However sexual and emotionally maturity together, did not hit what I would think of as "adult", until about age 23 for me. I feel much happier with my sexuality now, than when I was younger. ------------------ I remember, therefore I am immortal~LEXX Learning is eternal; all true Gods know this simple truth~LEXX ~Blinding ignorance does mislead us.

Hi kfn -- The first and only REAL love in my life is a man who is 19 years older than me. I genuinely care about him a lot and I know he cares about me. Unfortunately circumstances being what they are -it seems we won't be together. But I appreciate his friendship. I noticed you are also Aries/Leo - We have the same sun signs. I say - the age difference doesn't matter. But if you asked me before I'd met him, three years ago - I would've answered "what?? no way I'd ever fall in love with someone 20 years older!". I think I even said something negative about age differences on this website. I've been on here since I was 17 - and from 17 - 22, I thought it was just strange for anyone to be with someone that much older/younger. But I was extremely wrong & immature to think that way, because it really does NOT matter at all. You know the connection you have is significant and real, and that's all that matters ultimately.

Hi kfn327,I have done new Synastry Chart for both of you, without Asteroids. Very important here are three things: 1. Both of you are ASC Cancer (they are in conjunction) 2. The Moons, rulers of your ASC are in trine: very good. 3. Ruler of both DESC, Saturn: both Saturn have only good aspects. Your Saturn trine his Sun: you want stable relationship with him; His Saturn sextile your Venus: stability and love, together. MC means also partner: here is ruler Jupiter (traditional Astrology). His Jupiter trine your ASC: very good because he makes you richer (in some kind); Your Jupiter trine your Mercury, ruler of your IC (home). Even if there are oppositions and squares their rulers of angles (ASC, DESC, MC and IC) are very important. Good luck, Bobbie

Dear LEXX,I should have you as a counsellor to make the right decisions in my life. So, I had always wrong decisions (ASC Libra) because I had some computer in my head. They were younger and much younger and I have never listened to my heart, but to my head. After all, my chronic pains became worse and worse, so I am blocked for all, as somebody has damned me. I am not going to die from those pains, because I am already dead. Wl, Bobbie ------------------

LEXX- Uranus in the 7th! No wonder you are attracted to relationships outside the "norm". Uranus likes to break rules and go against the flow and create their own version of the rules. All that is shown in your relationships. Normal relationships = boring for you. Pluto in the 8th. Powerful place for it to be. Venus in the 11th, you make friends easily and many of them. People are drawn to you. Also I have to say I like your story. It was very sweet and while the actual thought of me being with a man that much older than me makes me cringe I understand how precious it was. All the poor man ever wanted was some comfort that only a woman can give. The first thing I think of when I see/hear of a large age difference is if they are together for love. Women used to marry older men in the past because older men provided security to help build a family, have a house and social status. Marrying someone older/younger for any other reason than love is absolutely repulsive to me. Same goes for marrying someone who is of your age range. IP: Logged |

VenusDiSirius quote: Lexx, Bam,wam,thank u ma'am
LOL! Not sure if you were thanking me or commenting on my experience. Generally the "wham bam thank you ma'am refers to a guy who uses a woman to jack off in a quick meaningless fuque then leaves, ie; she a hooker, or a woman he has no respect for. quote: Scorpio stellium(saturn!) cappy asc(mars' sexual child) 8th H pluto trans)formative sexuality ;aqua moon:walking aroung braless (=always wanted to do that,but,alas,my cancer venus..and ample bosom...

Thank you. Interesting. However, going braless was not seen as strange then. Also not propping them up and out, and wearing baggy men's flannel shirts, there was no teasing there. It was about comfort, not titillation. In fact, wearing a bra, and girly blouses would have made me look slutt!sh! Also when one's bosum is beyond ample, it is very difficult to find bras that do not hurt one's shoulders, and cause nerve damage. So to save my shoulders, yeah went braless or wore binders. It had nothing to do with freedom or sexuality.Thank you for looking at my chart.

No apology required! I run into idioms and sayings and so forth also, which do not translate from one culture to another. Like even words used amongst English speakers from different countries. In America for example, calling Gay folks queers or fags, is considered very rude and demeaning. Yet in the UK it seems it is not seen as insulting. Oh! Here is a very good link for many of the meanings of Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am I did not realize there were other meanings either!

Oh dear lady; I am not sure I'd be best to help folks make the right decisions in life. I would say, follow your heart, but be prepared for the reality that what is right for a given time, may change down the road. I have been in several long term relationships, and they were right for those times. My error was staying too long in each one when I knew they were not growing vibrant relationships, and had become one sided. quote:

Oh one must listen to ones head, keep doing the reality checks of course; but...... ultimately I believe in following one's heart! Never let pass you by the chance for love! quote: After all, my chronic pains became worse and worse, so I am blocked for all, as somebody has damned me. I am not going to die from those pains, because I am already dead. Wl, Bobbie
Awwwww I have felt that way too often too. In fact this past Fall I almost caved in......again. I do not remember what it feels like to live without pain and times of sheer agony. So, I totally understand.{{{hugs}}}I hope you find happiness and or it finds you!
