The new Nicole Kidman film about a powerful CEO having a D/s relationship with a much younger intern comes out in December. It's a big box office film, and I wonder how it will permeate basic culture. Their is something special and sexy to me about age gap relationships still being "on the fringe" that make them so exciting and hot to me. Basic bro culture seems to hijack other people's ideas, explore them for a while and then discard them for something new after they use the experience once or twice. It's like when the cheesy film 15 Shades of Grey came out and every household in middle America bought some plastic handcuffs and a blindfold. Cougars will be in hot demand until basic bros lose interest and jump into something else. I think age gap still being taboo is part of what makes it so hot for me. Not really caring about what my colleagues say if I bring a mam 24 years younger to my work's Christmas party, or ordering a glass of milk for a younger lover at a local bar for my lover in front of my literary bar friends. Just the idea that a large group of mainstream folks will try an age gap relationship out and then discard it just because they see it in a big film feels like a form of defiling a relationship that feels so a sacred to me.
