    First question i would ask is: How much lieing can you get away with if you try and mask his age? and How accpeting are your parents on a scale of 1 to GTFO?

    I was in the same situation and I just told them.
    After coming out, everything else seemed so easy.

    Don't. ever. ever, tell your parents your role in bed. As a matter of fact don't even let them know you have sex.

    That's just cruel. If they wanna wonder, let em', but DON'T. EVER. IMPLY. JACK. SHIT. Most of the time they really don't want to know.

    but ya, how old are we talkin' here? You have yet to say. If you're not in your twenties, their may be more important things to discuss.

    How do you introduce him?

    The same way you'd introduce anyone else.

    So, if you're one that would say, "Mom, Dad, this is Gerald, my top," well, don't do that anymore!

    Well, that is kind of a drastic age difference.

    Hmmm... I am not sure how great that would go... But I think they will understand if you tell them that you are in love with him and that he treats you good. Parents always want to be overprotective and make sure you are safe and doing the right thing.

    Good Luck!

    Yes, parents are protective. But I do have to point out that the mind of a 45 year old man is far, far different from that of a men our age.

    a word of caution, I have been taken advantage of by older men a number of times, and it showed me that a mature, middle-aged man is going to look for a mature, middle-aged man and not shop around for newer models. That and...

    When you turn his age... he'll be drawing social security. he's probably only about 7 or 8 years out from the blue pills.

    like I said, if he's what you really want, shout it to the world and be proud of it. But keep that stuff in mind.
