An intimate look at gay and bisexual daddies and their younger
partners Over the past several years the term “daddy” has
increased in popularity. Although the term has existed for
centuries, its meaning has changed over time, and today can refer
to desirable older men. In the Western world, same-sex male couples
are far more likely to have large age gaps than other types of
partnerships, and Daddies of a Different Kind analyzes the stories
of gay and bisexual daddies and asks why younger men are interested
in older men for sex and relationships. Based on interviews with
self-described daddies and young adult men in relationships with
older men, Tony Silva uncovers why it is more common for gay and
bisexual men to have large age gaps in relationships than
heterosexuals or LGBTQ women. These stories reveal that queer
relationships with large age gaps are not consistent with a sugar
daddy/gold digger stereotype. Instead, 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. A fascinating read, Daddies of a Different
Kind breaks many commonly held stereotypes about gay and bisexual
life.
