What does it mean if a man gets clingy after sex?

- Watch yourself with this one. When I was 27 I had a "friendship" with a 48 year old and after one time having sex, he pressured me in to more sex. I agreed, only because I was horny and found him handsome. Plus, he seemed to agree to my terms of a sex-only friendship. (Does that make sense?) When we began having more sex, the more possessive he became of me. The way he described it was he was so happy to have this "young woman" but he was wildly insecure and jealous that at any given moment, my 27 year old self would turn around and find a new guy, leaving him without sex again.
He said his only pick of women were mostly older ones, and he cherished having a younger beautiful woman to be with now. But he also said something weird to me, about how I'm 27 and all I am about is fucking. He figured I was just some walking vagina waiting to be fucked around every corner who would give myself up very easily if asked. He didn't get that I was a 27 year old with a brain and some morals. No amount of calming him down would convince him. He figured if he let me out of my sight I was basically a fucking machine with no filter.
Maybe he figured that since I was fucking *him*, I must be fucking *every* other guy out there? Again, a clear sign that his insecurity made a mess of things.
Anyway, he was insane to deal with. After a short time, I refused him sex and just wanted to go back to the non-sex friendship if he was okay with that. He said yes, but was itching for it again and kept hounding me for it. When I said no, it eventually led to my rape. He came over to 'talk' and I believed it. He raped me telling me he needed closure with me.
Anyone here who knows anytime I've mentioned about my rape and that it was by a male friend who I refused sex to, this is the story - so now you know.
I'm not blaming the guy's age because violence knows no age. It's the clingy, possessive shit that got to me. People like this play passive aggressive a lot when they try and guilt you in to doing things because they play this little game of coming across caring when it's really controlling.
I hope like hell this doesn't happen to you, but I do think people like this need to be trained early that you aren't appreciating the clingy side and you're not going to respond to it in ways they hope and for them to find a new way to communicate with you and treat you.
Good luck!Is this still revelant?Damn ! I am sorry for what happened to you. It sucks that it tarnished your view of older men. I can't blame you for your distrust, but shouldn't the guy be given a chance? He's just being clingy, it might actually be a good thing...
I don't distrust men. I tackled my problem by saving evidence, going to court, and with the overwhelming amount of support from the police who were called he actually put in a guilty plea. I'm not afraid of men. I'm sick of those who are violent toward women, and this is a sign that though he might have gotten what he wanted out of me in four minutes, he paid for it bigtime. I wasn't going to let any man get away with that. And his defense was that I was promiscuous. It didn't help his case.
I also dated one more clingy guy before my husband, and he was wickedly abusive in all ways except physical. He was verbally violent when he didn't get his way and acted like a humungous baby in the body of a gorilla. He and I didn't even have an age gap. He was just a clingy, smothering, possessive guy who couldn't stand me even going to the bathroom alone. In the end I couldn't tolerate his emotional and verbal abuse.
I just find people who act like this put up red flags for me.- Show All Show Less
Perfectly understandable !
I am surprised that he ended up in jail ! I am so used to hearing about girls being raped and doing nothing about it. Isn't that pathetic? I am very happy to hear you sent the asshole to jail !
- Not all men are the same. Some of them are more loving than others. Maybe he is a sweet person and feels closer to you now. Just enjoy having all that attention and love. The world is full of cold- hearted people who look at you as though you are a stranger after sex. Looks like you have found a gem. :) Just don't hurt him. Try to reciprocate in kind if you can.Is this still revelant?
- Thaaat he's a woman?
Hahahaha
No, sorry, it was the first thing that popped into my mind.
He thinks you want him to be more than just a hookup and he's okay with that. Or he's possessive because he knows you have a lot more options than he does.Is this still revelant?

- Cause #1 could be the emotional connection has grown for him where he's lovestrucked and has become clingy. Sex is the ultimate and it can do that.
Cause #2 could be where he realizes the age gap. And instead of being just in the moment of the relationship. He could be having thoughts of you, "waking up" so to speak. And realizing that you're young and can "do better"... I'm not saying this, but just like what he MAY be thinking. This causes the person to start to act different, always wanting to be around, almost like monitoring the person you're with to see how they're still feeling lol. But it actually works against you.Is this still revelant? - It must of been some bomb ass pussy. Shieet i would be clingy too if that pussy was on point lolIs this still revelant?

1125- Every guy is different. If he's making you crazy then this relationship is probably not going to work, at least not for you. He sounds a little desperate. What causes a man to get like this? Mostly it's guys who don't have much of a life so they want to take some of yours. If he had outside interests and friends he would be too busy to be clingy.React

These guys are usually not good boyfriend material, at least not for women who do have a life.
- I am not doing that. I do not think that there is any relation between the man age and being clingy after having sex.
most probably it is due to wrong advice OR wrong understanding of a true advice. do you consider him as an experienced person in making love?ReactLike

- Could be he is just totally into you. Or he could be really insecure. You need to be able to tell the difference as you know the back story. Has he changed his behavior in a remarkable manner? Like stopping doing things he normally did without you? Hobbies sport or whatever? If he stopped having a life and is obsessive then get out. But if he is just really into you (mentally and physically) then roll with it. The newness will wear off...React

- You are absolutely right ! Now that he has had sex, I guess he should be treating you like dead weight rignt? He should be using you and then throwing you away like a used condom right? The guy loves you, shows you respect and you come here to complain about it when plenty of girls are constantly complaining that guys "use" them. How are we supposed to know how to react?React

I don't think she is complaining. She just wants to know if it's typical for a guy to act like that after.
@Darkfairy17
Well, the word clingy implies that it's negative, or else she would have said something like attentive, always there for her, etc...
- Depends.. you see girls being clingy more often, but then again you always hear about your mates mate who got his heart broke AGAIN, so this effects a persons trust/abandonment issues. He could have those issues, might really like you, or may be really desperate because he doesn't fuck beautiful younger women so often. Either way i am gob smacked your not over the moon.React

- It probably means he is insecure... he's afraid you might dump him & find someone else... he thinks this is how you want to be treated.
Communication is key. Tell him how his behavior is making you feel. You are both adults (although that doesn't mean you both will act like adults). You should be able to talk about things like this. If he has a negative reaction to this conversation, then he is not acting like an adult... and you need to decide if you want to continue this relationship.ReactLike

While true, is that necessarily such a bad thing, if he treats her very well otherwise?
I really don't see the problem in being someone's trophy as u say if they treat her with respect and love her
