Is it okay to lust after a man 24 years older than you?

Question

For the past few months I have found myself lusting after the father of the little girl I babysit. He is 42 and I am 18. That makes him 24 years older than me. It's purely sexual lust, nothing emotional. I, of course, would NEVER EVER act on it, but is it okay/normal for me to be feeling this? Does lust usually discriminate based on age, or does it have no boundaries? It's purely a fantasy for me, but is it healthy or is there something wrong with me?

Answer 1

Its healthy, has no boundaries,and is there to help you to better understand your sexuality with reality. You made a good choice not to act on it. Its comparable to when guys lust after there best-friends mom, same thing really..... just good old lust, which is really sexual interest, not always just about sex, but more or less human curiousity bleeding into sexuality. Enjoy the fantasy! Quite healthy as long as you maintain a healty perception of it, which your doing! Keep it up!
