Why Do Young Gay Guys Want "Daddies" For Sex?

[Matt608]

Now that my ex and I have split, one of his friends thought it would be somehow "helpful" to tell me that my ex had been using "daddy" websites for a while to hook up with young guys. My ex is 40 and I'm 25 and apparently now too old for him, so young is - well, really young I guess.

Being a glutton for punishment, I looked at the sites he mentioned - silverfoxie.com, daddyhunt.com, silverdaddies.com. I'd never seen any of them before, or sites like them. UGH. My ex's profiles were - well - for instance, one bore the comment "You *must* be 18, but I don't check ID, just saying". Another profile read like a sexual grocery list - I didn't even know what half those things were when I was 18.

But there were literally tons of young guys on there, and I do mean young. Wanting "daddies" for sex. And I don't get it. Among the many things I might want to do with my dad, or with anyone else's dad, sex is definitely not one of them. But this is obviously a huge thing. I'd really like to understand what motivates the young guys.

I don't mean to sound judgmental or offend anyone, I just really don't get it. Maybe it's bothering me so much because I feel like I've been living with a perv for the last 5 years. And what does that say about me? How freaking oblivious am I?

I was 19 when we met, he was 35, and I turned him down at first because of the age difference. But he was persistent, we really had a lot of interests in common and he made it seem like he was attracted to me in spite of my age rather than because of it. But now it seems like everything was a lie. I certainly never thought of him as a "daddy". Lol someone on here commented that despite our ages, it seemed like I was the adult in the relationship.

IDK. I'm finding all of this really confusing and pretty depressing.
