Unique in many ways, Luke and Chris’ bond is further highlighted by their 20-year age gap. The pair first met three years prior, at a bar. Since then, they’ve approached the ups and downs of their relationship with warmth and wit. Chris has been on testosterone therapy for a year and a half. As he became more comfortable with his identity and sexuality, their relationship evolved, leading to some radical shifts in their sex life.
Increased testosterone from Chris’s treatment has drastically improved Chris’s libido, leading to a rich and euphoric sexual relationship with Luke. The newlyweds claim a mind-blowing rate of five sexual experiences a day since shacking up. This increased motivation convinces them to purchase an average of 60 tubes of lubricant for every trip Chris takes to the gender clinic. Given their hyperactive sex life, that supply lasts all of three days.
These dynamics of their relationship are complicated by Chris’s experiences with patriarchy, which strongly shape how their relationship plays out. He’s slept with more people than Luke and he’s more experienced with kink and BDSM activities. About 80% of the things they do, on the natural scale, are like this—and they’re both deeply satisfied. Luke’s fascination with Chris, especially when he’s sporting some sexy stubble, goes even beyond the physical in this sizzling age-gap romance.
Their magical relationship has not been without its struggles. Yet the couple unexpectedly ended up in this predicament. As they were about to get personal, a knock on the door heralded an unexpected call from the local housing association office. Yet incidents like these have introduced a sense of humor to their narrative, deepening their relationship with memories made together.
Chris’s personal journey with hormone replacement therapy has been life changing. Since starting treatment, he no longer feels at war with his body. This new self-assurance has really increased his self-esteem as well as supercharged his intimate connection. Luke’s encouragement every step of the way has been instrumental in giving Chris the space to discover who he is.
Even with the age difference, their love for one another always feels so alive. They love being playful and affectionate all day long, representing the emotional closeness that goes along with their sexual relationship. Their enduring romance proves that love knows no age, only the heart’s ability to connect and respect another soul so deeply that societal expectations dissolve.
