Question: Have you ever acted on your age desires? I have found that often what works in real life totally fails in fantasy, and what works in fantasy can totally fail in real life. If you actually try it, it might totally destroy your emotional response, because you will find out it is nothing at all like what you think/fear it might be like. It might be that your last therapist was not right for you. There is a lot of variation out there. Some psychiatrists use a technique of gradual exposure to desensitize people. Afraid of dogs, look at a picture till you get enough nerve to stand across the street from a pet store. Then next week stand in front. Then next week enter and leave. Next week enter and stay, but don't approach a dog. etc. etc. But I would suggest you do that kind of thing under professional supervision.
