I dated two. One while she was doing it. One did it after we broke up.

Both had pretty negative experiences when they look back on it.

There's a couple of people in my life who just went the age gap way. They think more fondly on it. But when they tell the stories, it always seems suboptimal...

"Couldn't you have had all that nostalgia and affection without the physical intimacy?"

Maybe not.

I don't have the constitution to keep reading your stories, but you might dig mine. I enjoyed reading this one, but it leaves me too sad to continue.

Hope once these are compiled you share them, revised, in book format. Is it a genre? Have you found others writing about their experiences?
