Dating younger guys has some advantages: they're cute, they have boundless energy and enthusiasm, and they are constantly surprised by your stories of life in the 1980s.
But there are disadvantages: they go out too often and stay up too late, they don't fit in with your friends, and even after extensive research, you still can't understand their pop culture references.
Here are my favorite teenage (or twink) boyfriends and hookups who were 10+ years younger than me. Don't worry, they were all over 18.
1. Conrad, the 20 year old who came to my room Upstate to fix my computer, said "I'm not into older guys," and grabbed. 17 years.
2. Mario, a teenage model studying at Columbia University. 20 years.
3. Sibu, the hottest guy in the world, a seminary student met at a conference in South Africa. Dark room hookup, and then "I'm not into older guys." 15 years

6. The Pizza Boy, an undergrad theater major in Rock Island. My friend Dick actually started dating him, but we shared at Christmastime. 18 years
