boy-toy

Cougar's young companion

A boy-toy is a young man kept as a romantic or sexual companion by an older, often wealthier partner—typically a woman.

The term emphasizes youth, physical attractiveness, and the suggestion that the relationship is more about pleasure than substance: She showed up with her latest boy-toy.

Sometimes spelled as one word or two words without the hyphen.
