You are no different than I was in my 20's.
The difference is that (I think) it is easier now than when I was in my 20's.

You have to remember, there was no internet, 30 years ago.

Meaning no JUB either.


I am 24, I would think it is a whole lot easier for younger people these days than it was. Gay is not a mental disorder anymore, some states and countries has allowed marriage equalities. We now know AIDS is not just a "gay" disease anymore and we know more about the disease than it was in the 80's. It is a lot easier to get information with the internet and such. I would say the internet is the biggest contributor of the differences.
 
I just watched a documentary on gay sex in the 70's and it is amazing.. how we started becoming liberated and sexually aware. I mean obviously it focused on urban places specifically new york but it must have been amazing to live during that time. There was SO much sex, and not just gay but even straight. Things were less aware, as far as safety and eventually AIDS but still... I couldn't imagine living in a time pre-AIDS where gay sex was casual and not so "safety" oriented. Safety now is just the norm, it must have been wild to not think of that aspect so much.
 
you've got your numbers a bit jumbled !

I don't know any 40-to-50 year olds that would enjoy being called seniors !!
70 is the new 60 !!
 
I was born in 1950. :eek:

My teens, and twenties, were the 60s and 70s. (!)

If I started telling stories, I'd be typing forever! :lol:

What do I think of the "youngsters" on JUB? I think I'm jealous as all Hell! :mrgreen:

Part of that is I'm no longer your age. And, part of that, more regret, actually, is I can not effectively pass on to you everything that I've learned. You have to discover most of that by yourselves, for yourselves. You simply can not understand until you've experienced it first hand. #-o And, it's all still ahead of you! ..|

I'm amazed at some of the Wisdom you've already gained. And, I've still been able to learn from your own observations and opinions. Sometimes, I get the feeling that some of the "youngsters" are older than I am! :cool:

I thoroughly enjoy Everyone's company "here"! JUB is truly a unique place where all of us can get to know each other, which we probably wouldn't likely do face-to-face. (group)

Keep smilin'!! :kiss:(*8*)

being 61 and coming out at age 11, i have experience many ages.
i concur the younger man 18 to 25 have it very easy, but as we get older even if we are body shape remains the same with a little belly, we are look upon by the younger gay male up to 30, the young males. look at us as out of touch and not the young stud, but we do have experience and of accepting mistakes made by the younger males
 
i think this is the only gay website i visit where i don't feel so "fucking ancient."

anywhere else everybody else is like, 16 - 19. the internet is being taken over by kids.
 
I have great hope for the youth of today (teens to early 20's)! From the ones that I know (mostly straight), I think that the future will be better than it is today. Many seem to care about issues and try to stay informed about what goes on. They tend to be way more supportive of equal civil rights than any previous generation. :)

My only concern with gay youth is that I don't want them to think that I would ever hit on them. I have never hit on anyone, not alone someone that is young. I will admit that I do tend to avoid talking to them for that very same reason. I remember being followed around by them and many making me feel like they were staring through me when I was in the shower at the gym. I don't want to ever be thought of as one of those creepy old men that try to harass young men. I still get that happening every once in a while even now. (I'm 45 until next year that is.)
 
I have no way of knowing if you're different than I would have been -- right up into my 30s I struggled with the deeply ingrained view that sex itself was sinful, and having sexual urges made me evil. That's kind of a hard situation to be able to realize you like guys.

OTOH, maybe that's why I'm alive: if I'd been aware of myself in high school, and let anyone know, there are good odds my body would have disappeared into a canyon in the woods, never to be found.
And there's my comment for you: on the one hand, I'm glad that you guys generally don't have to face that, but on the other, I hope you learn to understand that the world was that way, and just how far things have come.

Sure.

That's why Prop 8 failed in California -- the supportive young people turned out in droves to show where they stood.




Except.... they didn't.


Which leads to this comment: too many young people take for granted what's been gained, so much so that they don't realize they need to be out there fighting. Being "aware" and having supportive thoughts is worthless if votes don't follow.
 
Jos, I hate to burst your bubble :mrgreen:, but most forums are very diverse in age distribution. But I have to agree the connection between members are stronger here :)

Personally, I think people should be proud of whatever age they are; every generation has their own story and experience, especially us gay people :) I mean, in 40-50 years we, the newbies, will be the seniors like, for example, Chaz, and in turn the new newbies ask us the same question :cool:

well, I can only speak of the ones that I know of personally. And yes, the ones that I do know do live in California, and the ones that were old enough did vote. Some of them were not old enough at the time.
 
Wow, and I think of the 40's and 50's as the younger generation. I'm not a DILF, I'm more like a GILF (I'm told...)
 
The biggest difference I see is the increased openness. When I was young (and no, Lincoln was not President), they term 'gay' was not used to refer to people who felt like me. If we were discussed at all, it was whispered and by derogatory terms. The internet has played a large role in increasing that openness and acceptance but television, music and movies contributed. How different my life would have been if while June Cleaver was in the kitchen chopping vegetables in her dress, pearls and heels, Wally would have burst into the room and said, "hey Mom, I think I'm in love with Eddie."
 
I have always had a age gap with myself, and I am not sure whether my suspicion that it's now closing up is right or not.

I know what you mean! :lol:

In my case, unless I do something extremely stupid, like look in a mirror, or skip a few stairs, my "inner guy" still thinks I'm in my late 20s! (!) :slap:

My own "age gap" is only getting Wider! :badgrin: (Just like the rest of Me! #-o )

Keep smilin'!! :kiss:(*8*)

I'm in my 50's and had and am having a wonderful gay life. I think most of that has to do with finding the love of my life at 17 and spending the next 35 yrs together. I believe it will be much easier for the younger generations than it was for my generation although Steve and I had a very quiet normal life together.

I find the younger guys don't seem interested in settling down although I believe this is the key to a rich and fullfilling life. It trumps everything in my opinion, even financial success. I've been blessed to have had success at both, I wish it for the younger guys as well. Search until you find him. You'll know.

Go back even farther like me, and not only was there no internet...THERE WASN'T EVEN ANY GAY PORNO that could easily be found!

I lived in a moderate-sized city (Ann Arbor), and even there it was two years before I ever saw even my very first ever gay porno picture.
