boy toy

Cougar's arm candy

A boy toy is a young man kept as a romantic or sexual companion by an older person, typically a woman: She showed up with her latest boy toy.

The term implies the man is valued primarily for youth and attractiveness rather than substance.

It can also refer to toys marketed toward boys, though this sense is less common.
