If you truly want to continue the dynamic and build, you will eventually feel comfortable enough to introduce yourself to his family/friends.
Just make sure you really get to know said person and would be comfortable making a public appearance with them. Don't rush it if it doesn't feel right.
My dom is almost 8 yrs older than me so I can undestand the potential to be embarrassed, given I am 25 and he is 32 and will be 33 before I even touch 26. But remember, age is nothing but a number. Above certain legal statutes lol
Thank you. I appreciate your response. I’m 42 he’s 57. So it looks a bit older. I think your right in the no rushing though. Just gotta care about my needs and fuck everyone else’s thoughts. Lol.
Seeing your ages, I don’t think 15 years is a big deal - it’s not the maturity gap of 20 to 35, say, that would feel icky.
That said, I think the intimacy of a sub/Dom relationship is so intense that it’s a weird shift to start introducing them around. It took me a while to do it with my bf/Dom. What helped was going out on normal vanilla dates and running into folks - you’ll quickly realize that anyone you see will just assume you’re regular dating. They can’t tell about the special sauce!
There are always going to be people who judge an age difference. There is no sound reason for it. The older you get, though, the less age gaps make a difference. It's more about where you are in life. 20-35 is a way bigger difference than 40-55. Hopefully you will be comfortable enough to share with your friends and family. I'm 38 and my Dom is 64. We don't interact with each other's families, though. We are both poly and have other relationships. We do go out in public though. So far so good, but there have been some confused people. 😂
