Move over "MILF Manor," there's another older/younger dating show in the mix. And unlike "MILF Manor," it is very gay and happens to be hosted by adult star Stormy Daniels.

"In the new eight-episode series, which premieres on Jan. 31, Daniels helps two groups of gay men, 'Daddies' and 'Himbos,' compete to find love and win a $10,000 investment into their relationship," Move over "MILF Manor," there's another older/younger dating show in the mix. It is also very gay and hosted by adult star Stormy Daniels, writes People.

The show premiered Jan. 31 in the U.S. on OUTtv.com, the OUTtv Apple TV Channel and OUTtv on The Roku Channel.

Its title is, of course, a play on "MILF," a term that can be traced back to Jennifer Coolidge's famous cameo in "American Pie" where she played Stiffler's Mom and is described by one teen as a "Mom I'd Like to ...". "When contacted by The Washington Post, "American Pie" screenwriter Adam Herz confirmed he did not invent the phrase, but he can take credit for popularizing it: 'When I say I 'take credit,' I put that in quotes, because it's a dubious honor.'"

With DILF, "They mean Daddies, as in an older (even middle aged) gay man in a relationship with a younger man," writes The Wrap.

"As you probably figured out, 'daddies' are likely to be much more established in their careers and financially secure, and typically serve as a kind of mentor figure to their younger partner – in addition to the romantic relationship. And no you're not wrong, in recent years it's slipped out of gay slang and has even been used to describe heteronormative relationships," The Wrap continues.

The Wrap adds that casting of Daniels is the show's host is its hook. "The porn actress and Trump accuser, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, has been making the reality scene so to speak – last year she was a member of the cast of the revival of 'The Surreal Life'."

Daniels told People: "I host the show, but I also lived in the mansion with the singles to help guide them through this experience, so I can tell you firsthand that these are real love stories. I'm not a crier, but they even made me shed a few tears on set because I got so invested. Every day was an adventure with the Daddies and Himbos."

But who are the Daddies and the Himbos?
