No.
I don't call grown men "big brother." Especially not if I'm sleeping with them, or considering sleeping with them. |

When I was in korea, a guy few year younger than me ( he was a son of preacher of my church ) acted like he can't live without me, but I always treated him like my baby brother, men grow up much slowly than women even at same age.  |

Do they call you "baby"? I think sleeping with babies is worse than sleeping with relatives. (And even if your men don't use that word, lots of other western men do)
Maybe "Oppa" in Korean or "Baby" in English need to be taken in context rather than the way some foreigners in Korea seem to think the word Oppa is somehow incestuous.
Princess: My gf is a year older than me and occasionaly calls me Oppa =) |

I understand it in context. Still, I don't care to use it. I know "doumi" is a perfectly fine Korean word, but because of the CONTEXT in which I learned it...
I would never call a boyfriend OPPA because I have yet to hear a single Korean woman say it without whining like a dying cat. |
