2023. You’ve probably heard of “sugar daddies.” Or “the internet’s daddy
” Pedro Pascal. Stereotypes of this popular term abound
but what does it actually mean to be a “daddy”? And who is most likely to engage in age-gap relationships
and why? Daddies of a Different Kind
published today by UBC sociologist and assistant professor Dr. Tony Silva (he/him)
analyzes the stories of gay and bisexual daddies and asks why younger adult men are interested in older men for sex and relationships. We spoke to Dr. Silva about his findings. What is a daddy and why were you interested in studying them? Front cover of Dr. Tony Silva’s new book
Daddies of a Different Kind. Many people think of a daddy as a desirable
confident older man who may be paired with a younger partner. The term has gained popularity in recent years
and while it is used in the context of heterosexual
gay or bisexual relationships
research across the Western world shows that age-gap relationships are far more prevalent among gay and bisexual men than any other group. I was interested in finding out why
and learning more about the older men who identify or are perceived as daddies
and what it means to them. For this book
I interviewed men in their twenties and thirties who partnered with older men
and men in their forties through late sixties who partnered with younger adult men in their twenties and thirties. Some of the older men actively identified as daddies
while others did not necessarily identify that way
but still fulfilled a daddy role and were aware that others saw them as daddies. What does it mean to be a daddy? For many of the older men I spoke to
being a daddy was not just about age and sexual and romantic partnerships
but also a sense of responsibility
mentorship and guidance. As daddies
they saw themselves as providing emotional support
wisdom and life experience to their younger partners: whether that means helping younger adult men figure out career paths
how to come out
or how to integrate into gay and bisexual communities. For many older men
it was also a point of pride and self-worth
as they felt that their age and experience made them more attractive and desirable to younger men. The youngest daddy I interviewed was 43
and in general
men started seeing themselves as daddies in their 40s. Contrary to the popular stereotype of older men going after younger guys
it was often younger men who approached them on dating apps once they had silver hair or had other physical markers of aging
and that really sparked their transformation into a daddy. What do the younger men get out these age-gap relationships? Some of the reasons why the younger adult men pursued age-gap relationships included a preference for emotionally mature partners
finding older men physically attractive and a desire to learn from older men. Many of the younger adult men also found age-gap pairings sexually exciting and emotionally fulfilling and were drawn by the idea of having a mentor or role model in their partner. Whether gay or straight
age-gap relationships can involve a power difference. How did the men you spoke to navigate that? In most cases
there was a sense of responsibility the older men felt to make sure they treated younger adult men with a particular care and made sure they didn’t disadvantage the younger adult man in any way. In contrast to what many people assume
I found little evidence of widespread power differences that harmed either the younger or older men. For many men
these cross-generational connections between adults seem like they’re a major part of what it means to be a gay or bisexual man today. According to some demographic research I’m currently working on
it looks like these relationships are actually becoming more common
not less. But there’s still a lot of stigma and misinterpretation around age-gap relationships
so even though many of the men I spoke to were openly gay or bisexual
they don’t always talk about their age-gap relationships outside of other LGBT groups.
