Since forever? "half your page plus 7" has long been a guideline, so a 40 year old's floor would be 27.
(40/2) + 7 = 27
Apparently wikipedia even has a section on this! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_disparity_in_sexual_relationships#%22Half-your-age-plus-seven%22_rule
I actually have never heard of this. Is this a US thing?
I'm from the US, but I don't know its origins beyond what that wiki page says.
I'm from western Europe and have been aware of this rule my whole life.
