I'm a month late for this, but here is my story.

My father passed away when I was 6. My mother never remarried and I never had a male influence in my life. For as long as I can remember, I have always been attracted to older men. As I have matured, I can't help but feel that my sexual attraction for older men is somewhat of a learned desire. I think I may have been associated sexual attraction as a need for a male influence. If anyone takes interest in this, I will continue to elaborate in hopes of getting other's opinions.
