There are thousands of posts on this site. I'm very well not going to sit here and sift through all of them to see if someone has addressed My problem before deciding to post My own thread.

People have preferences AND choices. If their choice is an older D, good luck to them. Bitching isnt going to change a thing. Ranting about how badly done to you are IS going to get you ignored as a petulant child.

If Lebron James could play in the NBA right out of high school, there is no reason that a person can't know what they are doing in regards to whips and sexual games at the same age.

There is a difference in an 18 year old sub with a older experienced Dom and an older experienced sub with an 18 year old Dom. Who would be training who?

I truly mean no disrespect at all to young people, but there is a huge difference between the capabilities of a 40 year old man and an 18 year old man. There is a biological change that takes place in between the ages of 28 and 32. These changes have a profound effect on demeanor among other things. This is the true coming of age for men. Look at statistics like arrest reports. There is a huge drop in all kinds of immature risk taking behavior during this period in a man's life. This is the time that men become suitable fathers and husbands and start to take on leadership roles in society. There does seem to be a major change in a man's perception of beauty somewhere near the age of 40. I have been experiencing ballet with new eyes for the last few years. I truly see this or more acurately organize this information in a way that is wholly new to me as if the activity is something completely different than it was previously. There is not just life experience to consider. There are actual biological changes that are truly profound. The changes tend to deepen the abilities of males in particular ways. I contend that the changes are of the type that will have a significant effect on one's "Domness" (whatever that is).

Can an 18 year old be dominant? Certainly.....    Should he expect to be treated in the same way as someone who had passed through these portals of change. Since he cannot directly know about them from personal experience, maybe he can expect it. It is unlikely, however, that he will get it.
