Same-sex male couples often have large age gaps, and \"Daddies of a Different Kind\" explores why younger men are interested in older men for sex and relationships. Interviews with self-described daddies and young adult men reveal that queer relationships with large age gaps are not consistent with a sugar daddy\/gold digger stereotype. Daddies mentor younger adult men and transmit knowledge intergenerationally, including how to navigate homophobia, access gay communities, and have fulfilling sex. Silva shows that demographic research understates the commonality of age-gap pairings among gay and bisexual men and illustrates how daddies shape gay and bisexual communities both culturally and sexually. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 248 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 September 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver the past few years, the term \"daddy\" has gained significant popularity. While the term has been around for centuries, its meaning has evolved over time, and today it encompasses desirable older men. In the Western world, same-sex male couples are more likely to have significant age gaps compared to other types of partnerships.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Daddies of a Different Kind\" delves into the stories of gay and bisexual daddies and explores why younger men are attracted to older men for sex and relationships. Through interviews with self-described daddies and young adult men in relationships with older men, author Tony Silva uncovers the reasons behind why gay and bisexual men tend to have larger age gaps in their relationships than heterosexuals or LGBTQ women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe findings from these interviews challenge the prevalent sugar daddy\/gold digger stereotype associated with such relationships. Instead, Silva reveals that daddies play a mentoring role in the lives of younger adult men, imparting valuable knowledge across generations. This includes guidance on navigating homophobia, accessing gay communities, and experiencing fulfilling sex. Silva emphasizes that demographic research often understates the prevalence of age-gap pairings among gay and bisexual men, highlighting how daddies shape both the cultural and sexual aspects of gay and bisexual communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Daddies of a Different Kind\" is a captivating read that shatters many commonly held stereotypes about gay and bisexual life. It provides a nuanced and insightful perspective on the dynamics of age-gap relationships within the LGBTQ+ community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 384g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 152 x 229 x 21 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781479817030\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tony Silva","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44572935979258,"sku":"9781479817030","price":21.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1694796583216_book.jpg?v=1695056800","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/daddies-of-a-different-kind-sex-and-romance-between-older-and-younger-adult-gay-men-9781479817030","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
