Summer Kisses 30-30
This collection showcases a series of realistic yet visually painterly renderings depicting gay men engaged in passionate kisses against a concrete wall.
30 vs 30 — the same age. This type of relationship is often considered more socially acceptable. I use the term “socially accepted” because, although I have a preference for older men, I tend to feel self-conscious when discussing it with others. The uncomfortable looks I receive make me hesitant to bring it up. While I do occasionally date men my age, it’s rare because, in my 20s, I found many of them to be too immature for my taste. It’s true that you can’t beat the testosterone levels, but what good is virility without the accompanying emotional maturity and technical abilities? However, things have improved over time. By the age of 30, I found myself in the company of more people who were at a similar stage of life. After all, if you've had ten years of experience and still haven’t figured things out, it’s a red flag.
These days, age is rarely a significant factor for me. I do prefer guys to be at least a little older. The responsibilities of my life make it challenging for me to date someone younger, even if only by a day. I feel a sense of obligation to offer guidance to someone younger, and frankly, it’s not conducive to a healthy relationship when there’s an imbalanced power dynamic - at least, not for me.
On a technical note, even though there are no age differences in the couples I depict, I still used a Regional Prompter to differentiate between the men based on their body hair and build. If I didn’t do that, they might appear almost identical, due to prompt pollution. While I understand that some gay men enjoy that type of couple, it’s not the kind I wish to portray. Furthermore, even when I date men who are the same age as me, I still prefer them to have a slightly older appearance — and facial hair is particularly appealing in that regard. I appreciate men of all types and in all age ranges, but I would be lying if I didn’t admit that I have a weakness for these visual aspects.
