Jetlagged and shell-shocked the day after getting back from India, we were at his younger sister’s confirmation, waiting for the official photograph in front of […]

Does age difference matter?

Sweet Masala Chai 2 – from Goa, India

The wedding rings are ready. Most people would say “We’ve had the rings made”. But I guess we just don’t cut the norm in this respect either (remember, I’m the one who’s 15 years older, not him). So, yes we made the rings. And I’m not talking coca cola can cap improvisations or coconut shell […]

Catch me if you can…

So I’m new to the TBW site but an aficionado of Toy Boys, or an addict, which ever way you’d like to look at it. Since getting divorced I’ve only ever been out with younger men, at first I thought it was by accident but now I see that I’d be nuts not to. I […]
