Is there a word equivalent for the much older man with a young man? Not cougar, obviously, but something akin to that?
Chickenhawk, no?
Really? That's weirder than "cougar."
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I've always heard "chickenhawk" for older men who go after young women, but I never knew it applied to teh creepy old gay as well. Huh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Your mother grows more interesting by the day. I stand corrected.

Also, I love this footnote from the wikipedia on "chicken":
^ This term is more common in the UK; the more common term in the US is twink..

I've heard "Daddy" (which is a whole other type of disturbing to me), but I guess that's a really specific type of older/younger gay relationship.

Chickenhawk, no?
I think that one's being taken over by Persons Who Rah Rah Us Into War But Would Never Go Themselves Under Any Circs. Or at least in my blog circles.

I think it goes both ways. So to speak.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
ita, do you have plans for saturday?
No, not a one.
Cougar is an animal with grandeur, and chickenhawk...well, it strikes me as a step down from hawk, at least. But wait--is the etymology that chickenhawks prey on (spring) chickens? What's the cougar etymology?

Maybe it's about older women pouncing on the young men?
ita, wanna come over for lunch Saturday?
