With an 18 year age difference between us, it’s safe to say that we’re not afraid of being with someone who’s a drastically different age. As with everything in D/s, there is no one size fits all here, and for many of us, it’s not about age, but about the person. A big age difference isn’t some sort of requirement in D/s nor is it the only option. Some people have a yuck factor and some people think it’s just not sustainable. We fundamentally disagree with both premises, so lets talk about it.
In this episode:
- Check out our sponsor: Delirium Toys
- Enter our 3rd anniversary giveaway!
- Buy some kinky fuckery at our shop and save!
- We mentioned in a past episode that we might discuss age differences and Twitter jumped on it. Then today DomSigns shared a Tumblr post from someone who said that a big age difference implied a power imbalance, and we knew we had to talk about it.
- John Brownstone is 18 years older than Kayla Lords.
- Age differences aren’t a requirement in D/s relationships or specifically Caregiver/little either. Just because it “seems” that way doesn’t mean it’s happening.
- Submissives can be older than their Doms. You can be near the same age.
- Age might imply wisdom but it’s no guarantee of anything.
- Every relationship needs communication and consent. A big age difference might add a different layer to communication styles or how you view something, but the basics still apply.
- Rejecting a potential partner based on age alone (older or younger) may mean you miss out on amazing relationships, opportunities, and experiences.

Thank you guys so much for this episode! My partner and I have an age difference too, except the other way around. The sub’s older 🙂 I loved this episode so much cuz it covered a topic that relates to me
Glad you liked it!
ahh this is one i definitely relate to. except also in inverse…my Miss is younger than i am. for us it’s not even a thing really, tho i am sure to the outside it looks unusual. i actually get a kick out of it…everyone’d expect it the opposite.
age is just a number, and love and D/s knows nothing of those numbers.
which is how it should be.
W/we’ve got the inverse dynamic here…i’m older than my Miss/owner. it makes for some weird looks at times, like when She’s taking my hand and leading me places, but i wouldn’t change it for the world.
it’s good. and pure. and right.
and everything i need.
Good, pure, and right is all any of us need. 🙂
