Looking at this thread a moment ago, my dominant summed it up more nicely than I could in saying "Maybe because so many men run around acting half their age?" Yup, in general I'd say that's the reason. I'm not sexist about it either, I'm sure it applies to women too. I don't know much about that side of the coin, but it seems submissive men often end up with older women too, maybe 10 or so years older anyway... Added years are added experience, earning of stripes, someone you can trust when you put yourself in the very vulnerable position of submission. A dominant has a lot to handle and can do a lot of damage if they are not competent (emotionally as well as with techniques), so experience (both life, and BDSM experience) count for a lot in that. Well, and I myself have always had a professor complex... but that's another story. Mmm, nice memories though, the first implement I was ever spanked with was the bound copy of my ex's doctoral thesis. Ohhhhhh yes, that was hot! I have to say his work left quite an impression on me. ~ J
