In Daddies of a Different Kind, Tony Silva uncovers why it is more common for gay and bisexual men to have large age gaps in relationships that heterosexuals or LGBTQ women. Full of insight and revealing personal stories, Silva shows that these relationships are not rooted in economic necessity. Instead, he shows that daddies mentor younger adult men and transmit knowledge intergenerationally, sharing knowledge on how to navigate homophobia, access gay communities, and have fulfilling sex. Silva shows that demographic research understates the commonality of age-gap pairings among gay and bisexual men, and illustrates how daddies shape gay and bisexual communities both culturally and sexually. A fascinating read, Daddies of a Different Kind breaks many commonly held stereotypes about gay and bisexual life.
