I'm 19 and only want to have sex with women twice my age – is this normal?
I don't want anything serious but wonder if it is normal for guys my age to be attracted to women a lot older DEAR DEIDRE I'm 19 and only want to have sex with women twice my age – is this normal? DEAR DEIDRE: WOMEN my age just don't do it for me. I am only attracted to older ladies after I had awesome sex with a woman twice my age. Most of my mates have been dating girls for the last few years, but no one I have met has ever attracted me — that is until I met this older woman. I am 19 and I have never had a girlfriend my own age. This woman is 38. I met her when our train was delayed and we spent an hour on the platform chatting. I ended up buying her a cup of tea and we then boarded the train together. I couldn't believe my luck when she said she was travelling to the same city as me. She was sexy, sophisticated and knew exactly what she wanted. Once we got off the train, she invited me back to her flat. After a couple of drinks, we ended up having amazing sex. Afterwards I told her how old I was and she couldn't believe it. She thought I was 26. She said she was only into casual sex and didn't do serious relationships. We only met up again a couple of times. I was disappointed but it didn't last long as I met another stunning woman in a club a few days later. I knew she was older; she told me she was 41 but she didn't look it. We had a great time dancing and drinking. We have been messaging ever since and are going to meet up at the same club next weekend. I am hoping it will end up with us having sex. I don't want anything serious but wonder if it is normal for guys my age to be attracted to women who are a lot older. Understanding open relationships DEIDRE SAYS: It is not unusual to be attracted to older people. Older people are often more confident, which is attractive. They may also be sexually confident – but you are less likely to develop a lasting relationship with them. While there may be specific reasons behind your attraction, as long as you are both consenting adults and looking after your sexual health, it is probably not worth overthinking it. It's worth bearing in mind though that these women will have a lot more life experience than you. So do be wary of anyone who tries to take advantage. My support packs Learning To Love and Age-Gap Relationships fully explain the issues you may face. Get in touch with Deidre Every problem gets a personal reply, usually within 24 hours weekdays. Send an email to deardeidre@ You can also send a private message on the DearDeidreOfficial Facebook page. SHOULD I LET FRIEND HELP ME PARENT EX'S BABY? DEAR DEIDRE: ONE of my best friends says he loves me and, even though I am pregnant by another man, he doesn't mind that my baby is not his. I promised myself I was through with relationships after my partner left me when he found out I was expecting. I was heartbroken but decided to focus on my future with my child. My family and friends have been so supportive. This particular pal, who I've known since school, has been amazing. I am 27 and he is 29. I really do like him and he says he loves me. He is cool about me being pregnant by another man but I am scared of being hurt again. It has taken me a while to come to terms with my partner leaving and I don't need any more stress. I keep wondering whether to give him a chance and perhaps turn our friendship into something more. DEIDRE SAYS: There's no rush to turn your friendship into a relationship until you are both sure. He is a good friend who is being supportive and, if he is willing, he can continue as he is without you needing to take things further right now. It is important that you allow yourself time to settle into a routine of being a new mum once your baby arrives. It will also give your friend an opportunity to see the realities of the responsibilities that come with a newborn. FEAR I'M ABUSER JUST LIKE MY DAD DEAR DEIDRE: MY dad abused me when I was a child and I'm scared I have inherited the trait. My partner wants me to move in with her and her five-year-old son – but what if I turn into my father? I am a 33-year-old guy and my girlfriend is 30. We met on a dating app almost a year ago and get on really well. Her son seems to like me, too. His dad left when he was a baby and it has just been him and his mum ever since. My father was a big boozer, and I vowed I would never be like him – even though I do enjoy a drink. It is not a problem for me but I worry I have my dad's taste for it. While I love my partner and her son, I am frightened about living with them. I think perhaps I would be better off alone. It would be safer. DEIDRE SAYS: I am sorry you were abused. Like you, many survivors end up worrying that they are destined to hurt children because of what happened to them – but this is a myth. You are your own person, not your father, and you deserve to enjoy the kind of happy family life that was sadly denied to you in childhood. Talk to your partner about how to handle any family pressures before you make the decision to move in. Seek support through NAPAC – National Association For People Abused In Childhood ( 0808 801 0331). XMAS ALREADY RUINED BY KIDS DEAR DEIDRE: IT'S only August but my family are already arguing about Christmas. My adult son and daughter don't get on – and as usual I am stuck in the middle. I was widowed five years ago and ever since my husband died we have always alternated Christmases between my son and his kids and my daughter and her family. My daughter is already looking at venues to have Christmas dinner out but my son says he won't be going because it is too expensive. He says he will be having a budget Christmas in his own home. I'm 65. I have offered to pay for him and his family, just to keep the peace but he is a proud man and won't accept any charity from me. I have tried to reason with him but he just gets so angry so I have had to back down. I used to love Christmas but I am starting to think it is going to be a disaster this year. I may miss out on seeing my lovely grandchildren and I know they will be disappointed too. I just wish my son and daughter could clear the air. They still have months until the big day. Surely it isn't too much to ask. DEIDRE SAYS: It isn't, but it is important to stay neutral rather than get caught up in their battles, which may be childhood rivalries being replayed. Say how unhappy the arguing makes you and point out that Christmas is supposed to be the season of goodwill. They have time to sort out the issue themselves or to let it go unresolved but, either way, it is their choice. You may miss out on seeing one set of grandchildren this year and decide to be with the ones who need you most. Vow to make Christmas different next year. My support pack Worried About Christmas will help.

Mum issues urgent warning as toddler left screaming in agony at seaside hotspot thanks to beachgoers' dangerous mistake
It comes as Brits are expected to flock to beaches with temperatures heating this weekend BEACH ALERT Mum issues urgent warning as toddler left screaming in agony at seaside hotspot thanks to beachgoers' dangerous mistake Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MOTHER has issued an urgent warning after her toddler was left screaming in agony at a popular seaside hotspot due to a dangerous mistake made by beachgoers. The two-year-old boy was taken to hospital as a result of the "thoughtless" beach-goers activities. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Two-year-old Harry Lambert was on a family beach trip with his mum, 36, dad, 37, and brother Tommy, 6 Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 7 The family enjoyed the first five days of their holiday of playing on the beach in Christchurch Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 7 Until Harry was left screaming with burns on his feet Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media Harry Lambert received burns to both his both feet - after running over an abandoned fire pit on the beach. Amy Lambert, 36, and her husband Richard Lambert, 37, had driven to Dorset on August 4 for a week's holiday with their two sons Harry and Tommy, 6. The family enjoyed the first five days of their holiday playing on Avon beach in Mudeford, Christchurch. But when the family-of-four visited the beach on August 9th, the mum-of-two said Harry ran over a 'hot' patch of sand while playing and began to scream. Company director Richard rushed Harry into the sea to try and cool his scorched feet down in the water, initially baffled by what had upset him. As Harry continued to cry, Amy rushed her son back up to the lodge where they were staying and ran his feet under the sink for 20 minutes. But when this offered no relief, the company director drove him to Royal Bournemouth Hospital in Bournemouth, Dorset, where she was told he had suffered surface burns on his feet. Wince-inducing photos show the two-year-old's scorched feet had erupted with 'fluid-filled' blisters on each toe, before they were carefully bandaged up. After flagging the incident to a lifeguard after it happened, it was later discovered to be a fire pit concealed by sand that was still burning. Now healing, Amy is sharing her son's story to urge people to put out fire pits and disposable BBQs on the beach properly - to ensure it doesn't happen to anyone else. UK Basks in Glorious Sunshine: Thousands Flock to Beaches as Heatwave Hits Amy, from Fordingbridge, Hampshire, said: "We went down on the beach in the morning. "My son Harry was running along on the beach, playing with his digger and he ran across this patch on the beach and instantly started screaming. "My husband put two and two together and instantly put him in the sea. "His feet were bright red and from the moment it happened he screamed for a whole hour. "I felt hopeless as there was nothing we could do [to stop the pain]. "[While I looked after Harry], my husband had gone back to the beach with my other son to tell the lifeguard. "The lifeguard then got a large bucket of water from the sea and poured it over it [the hot patch of sand]. "A huge cloud of smoke came off it as it was boiling. "As they poured more water on it, they discovered a fire pit underneath that had been dug into the sand. "It looked like normal sand and there was nothing to say there was a fire pit there at all. 7 Harry had his feet bandaged up after being taken to Royal Bournemouth Hospital in Dorset Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 7 He suffered surface burns on his feet and left with a blister on every toe Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 7 The toddler screamed for an hour because he was in that much pain Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media "It was heartbreaking to see him in pain as there was nothing I could do and I couldn't explain it to him either as he's so small. "He just kept screaming, 'I don't like it, I don't like it'. "The hospital said that him being in pain was a good thing as he hadn't suffered any nerve damage and it was just surface burns. "He had blisters on every one of his toes and the soles of his feet were bright red." At the hospital, Harry had both his feet bandaged up and returned the next day for a check up. Thankfully, Amy says his injuries are now healing well and he will not need surgery on his feet. Amy said: "He still had the blisters on his toes but they were happy with his progress. "He has three blisters that are quite large and round and filled with fluid but the others are quite flat. "Harry is very lucky. He is only small and if he had fallen over or hit his face, it could have been worse. "He's a little water baby and loves to be down near the sea. "We do intend to get him back down there as soon as we can so he's not worried. It's not something we'd ever think would happen to him." Since the incident, Amy has now shared Harry's story on social media to warn people about the importance of disposing of their beach BBQs and fire pits properly. Amy said: "For me, I've always known not to cover a BBQ but maybe people don't know this. "If you're down on the beach in the evening having a good time, you're probably not thinking about the people the next day. "They probably think that if they cover it, it will be cold the next day. Actually it's making it worse as sand is a conductor and generates more heat. "It was just as hot as if there was still a fire there. You just need to cool it down and get rid of it properly." Anthony Rogers, head of seafront at BCP Council, said: "It is disappointing that the inconsideration of others has ruined what should have been a lovely trip to the beach for the Lambert family. "Disposable BBQs are only allowed on our beaches from 6pm to 10.30pm and we consistently ask everyone who uses one to dispose of them properly - that means extinguishing them carefully and leaving it next to our bins ready for collection. "BBQs should never be buried or put into bins whilst hot and this is an unfortunate reminder of precisely why. "We wish Harry a speedy recovery and hope he can return and enjoy the beach again soon."
