Do Cougar Couples Survive?

7. Gay men who identify as “bottoms”—preferring receptive anal intercourse—are twice as likely to desire partners 10 years older than themselves as partners 10 years younger.

In the study that yielded this statistic, 11.6 percent of “bottoms” desired partners at least 10 years older; 4.7 percent of “bottoms” desired partners at least 10 years younger. Also in this study, twice as many “tops”—men who prefer insertive anal intercourse—desired partners 10 years younger than themselves as 10 years older. “Critics may point out that maybe Bottoms who prefer older partners become Tops who prefer younger partners as they get older, or that Tops in general are older than Bottoms,” notes the researcher who presented this data.

See, haven't I been saying that intergenerational dating is perfectly natural? And, of course, haven't I always insisted that Daddy = TOP and boy = bottom? Not that I needed it, but it is nice to have 'proof.' Sigh. To quote that famous philosopher, Lily Tomlin, "I'm a tree, I can bend." Being right so often is a heavy burden to bear, but for you, dear readers, I am willing to shoulder that burden.

Isn't science a wonderful thing?

At least, that is what THIS DADDY thinks.
