I try to ignore what they say and focus on our relationship, but it's getting tougher, and I'm starting to worry they may be right.
Whenever my parents find out I'm still dating him, they go off about what a 'predator' he is. He takes me on nice vacations and pays for my dinners. He's 57 years old-making us 35 years apart-and also happens to be wealthy. The problem is, I'm constantly judged for being with him. (He made losing my virginity a not-totally-awkward experience!) He's kind, smart, funny, and the sex is great. I'm a 22-year-old gay man, and I've been happily dating my boyfriend for 11 months. To submit a question for a future column, fill out this form. Ask me anything-literally, anything-and I will gladly Sexplain It. I'm here to answer your most pressing sex questions with thorough, actionable advice that isn't just 'communicate with your partner,' because you know that already. In doing so, I've learned a thing or two about navigating issues in the bedroom (and a bunch of other places, TBH). Over the years, I've had my fair share of sexual experiences, dating and sleeping with hundreds of people of all genders and orientations. I'm Zachary Zane, a sex writer and ethical manwhore (a fancy way of saying I sleep with a lot of people, and I'm very, very open about it).
