New York for Silver Foxes

[arthur]

If you are attracted to young Asians, try the Web, located on 58th Street between Park and Madison Avenues. They tend to get a late crowd especially on weekends when they have dancers performing. However they do have a 2-for-1 cocktail hour every day 4-8PM. The clientele seem to include all age groups. The older customers who show up tend to be the ones especially drawn to Asians.

That's exactly what I meant. But I also had my tongue in my cheek. When I turned 40, I thought I was "old." Now, at 63, I know that I wasn't. I also know that I am infinitely happier as a gay man at 63 than I was at 43.

 

Indeed, one of my criteria for hiring an escort is that he be somewhere around 40. (It isn't easy to find an escort who will actually acknowledge being 40, but I have learned that "38" and "39" work very nicely.) The reason for that is simple: older men -- by which I mean fully mature adults, who are usually 35 or over -- are sexier. At least, they are sexier to me, now. On another occasion I'll introduce a topic that interests me very much, and that is the variety or change in what we mean by "hot" at different times in our lives.

 

For the moment, however, I was simply seeking some information. It would be nice not to have to pay somebody $200/hour for an intelligent conversation about gay life. I can find it here, it's true; but where I live, and there's no choice about that, I am completely isolated as a gay man of my age.

 

And while nobody I know would say that gay men in their fifties and sixties are "old," they mean it in a general sense. But let's face it: for most gay men, youth (even, for me, men in their 40s) is a primary, perhaps *the* primary, criterion for any contact whatsoever. Without that primary contact, one can't have even the most rudimentary conversation.

Hi Will,

 

Funny, you and I are the same age...and have had the same age-related experiences. I too am infinitely happier as a gay man at 63 than at any time in my life...and my life has been generally terrific. And I too prefer men in their late 30s or 40s. And I like to keep my tongue in my cheek...when it isn't busy elsewhere!

 

I hope you have a wonderful time in NYC. It really is a grand place for gay men of "a certain age."

 

Cheers

Great feedback on this. Now, if I may open this issue a bit wider to ask where 50+ers can meet:

1. On line

2. At sex parties around NYC.

Thanks!!!
