I love the MTSS. Nikol is the older sister I never had and always wanted. The Female Masturbation episode was so good I wanted to send it to all my friends and family. Then, thinking better of that, I sent it to half of my friends and family. Viva la revolution sexual, I say.

Made my day. Thanks Dan!

The older bf episode was hardly persuasive.

In high school, the hottest 16 year olds had boyfriends in their early 20s. Why? The guys had cars and money. The girls were indescribably luscious.

One summer my boss hired an indescribably luscious 16 year old to help with the paperwork. I must have stared at her a little too much because she offered to fix me up with her mom. Anyway, she had a picture of her 24 year old thug boyfriend hanging over her desk.

The part about the older boyfriend being a loser is so fucking true. I had a friend in college who was 19 and dating a 16 year old, and I asked him, "How can you possibly date someone who can't spend the night unless he gets permission from his mom?" He didn't have an answer.

None of the guys I know in their 20s have money or cars. They're all too fucking poor trying to pay off 20-30K of university debt.

Is it their poverty that prevents them from dating hot, money-grabbing teenagers? Is it their education that drives them to date women who are their age, as well as literate?

I'm not sure, but I do know that a guy in his 20s dating a 16-year-old girl is kind of really creepy.

Yeah, 80's Movies are always like that too. The senior guy just about to graduate ends up with the awkward freshman. Awww insues. However,he's 18 or almost and she's 15. Pretty Creepy.

Gloria -- quit wasting your time with impoverished baristas and bookstore clerks, and date a solvent plumber or electrician.

He's actually an impoverished digital animator .... get with the times! Baristas are so 2002.

He *did* smell like my Grandpa and I *am* dating girls now. Wise advice.

and if you're gay and dating an older dude, questions to ask are:
1) why do you look you got dressed from the pages of International Male
2) why are you still driving a jeep wrangler
3) why do you hang out at the cuff every weekend.

WTF? Applies to nobody.

@17: I've been dating a guy who's older than me, and he smells like soap. I don't know of this "International Male catalog," and I've been 86'd from the Cuff for fighting an evil troll, who has since disappeared, melted or become art. I know no one who drives a Jeep, and I'm not even sure the brand still exists.

Bring on the next zinger, ding-dong!

@17 - no, the question most people would ask is "so is it true he's that big?"

Wow. Hope for the future!

You know, #10, perhaps he was dating her because he genuinely liked her.

Now, perhaps it is the more common thing for these older boyfriends/girlfriends/whatever to just be creepy and/or losers, but I've seen long-lasting, stable relationships from those beginnings as well.
