To me, 8 or 9 years difference is not the same as 20+ years, as seems to be the situation in the OP. Being in the same decade (20s, 30s) is a good thing... you're both in the same place in life. But then again, if it's a fuck-buddy thing, I guess there's not much to lose. One only knows after the fact... hindsight and all.
I will say that if the genders were reversed, say a 20 year old girl with a 40-some year old guy... well, it happens (an aunt and uncle of mine did it), but it creeps me out a bit. Personally, I could not have sex with someone who could be the same age as my parent.
Then again, another case for the reverse; ANOTHER aunt and uncle of mine (sheesh, my family) got married when he was 24 and she was... 44? or so. Go figure. They became quite unhappy when she started getting saggy and he was just hitting his prime... some cheating went on, shit hit the fan.
So I recommend keep it to fucking only, if you are able to do that. Work is an issue, too. I have shat where I ate in the past, and I wish I hadn't now... created some bigger social issues than was worth it.
