Welcome to the Caffmos Community gay lifestyle and dating glossary for the older gay man, silver daddies and admirers. On this page you will find
some explanations of gay terms that are heard within the gay lifestyle and dating scene. It is a fun area - some of the gay terms do make me titter. But
it can also be a helpful area, especially to those not of the gay scene or who have had limited access or contact with other gay men. Hopefully it will
combine the two, and offer an understanding to some of the terms used by our older, mature and senior members in their adverts or within other areas of
the Caffmos Community or similar sites as well as a giggle or two.
If you know of a word or term you think could be added to this page, please
enter it plus a brief summary of it's meaning in the 'Glossary Suggestion' box provided at the bottom of the page and send to me for inclusion. Many
thanks.
