Being the NAMBLA fan that I am (though not technically a chicken hawk), I just had to fire off a response to this irritating piece of drivel:
Dear Philip Guichard:
Thank you for your delightful article entitled “I Hate Older Men.” I thought it was extremely insightful for someone of your few years.
I particularly enjoyed your argument that man/boy relationships are inherently imbalanced. I have, indeed, found this to be true, but for slightly different reasons.
As a young lad growing up in the wilds of Mississippi, I was consistently drawn to older men–not because there were no boys my age who wished to knock the proverbial boots (there were quite a few, and quite a lot of hay in which to roll, too), but because these boys were lousy fucks. I got good head, good ass, and learned quite a bit of sexual technique from men three times my own age.
When I grew older, therefore, it seemed a matter of course that I would eventually have some sort of relationship with an older man. And I did. But in the end I found these relationships just as disappointing as the ones I’d had with boys my own age. The men’s considerable sexual prowess was entirely counteracted by their inevitable conservatism (these things happen as one ages) and, ultimately, vastly different life experiences.
So, I believe what I’m asking here is that you call a spade a spade: you’re simply not sexually attracted to older men. Point made. There’s no need to carry the argument any further and invalidate every man/boy relationship on the planet simply because you prefer to fuck your cohorts. In fact, given the chance to chat you up for ten minutes, I’m sure older men would find you to be very much like the article which you’ve chosen to share with the world: vapid, insipid, and terrifyingly limited in scope.
Cheers,
Richard
Did I take that too personally or what? What’s your take?
