I was lucky enough to meet a lot of different and wonderful men, including one 25 year old more mature and open to a relationship than many of the forty year olds. And he was a wonderful lovely bounce *grin* <br />What I can't understand is why we don't have a problem with an 50 year old George Clooney dating a 25 year old, but we do if the situation is reversed? Why is there an ick factor if the woman does it?<br />Frankly I didn't worry about anything sagging (I keep myself up)or being able to keep up (HE had to keep up with ME - women do reach their sexual peak later) and an older woman is far more willing to do some of the things younger women haven't yet experienced.<br />Do younger men turn me on? You bet! Our biggest problem is with the media-and our OWN-perception that we can't a) be attractive at 40/50/60 b) be sexual enough to please a younger lover c.) let go of our fears of the perceptions of others. <br />If I wasn't married I'd still be dating men who attracted and stimulated me whatever their age might be, and getting some lovely bouncing.Valerie Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18290746965893799388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334971464359338872.post-69136720928891021352010-04-21T07:43:16.601-04:002010-04-21T07:43:16.601-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Valerie Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18290746965893799388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334971464359338872.post-49008760464389245472010-04-20T18:11:55.507-04:002010-04-20T18:11:55.507-04:00Welcome to the Naughty Nine, Cerise! Great topic. ...Welcome to the Naughty Nine, Cerise! Great topic. I just wrote an older woman/younger man story (she's 37 to his 29) so I find this interesting. Like Debra, I don't feel over 40 (or... ahem...50)so why shouldn't I have a younger guy who attracts me? How young? Since I'm happily married <br />:-) it's hypothetical - but I'm going to have fun thinking about it!kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865842550376328393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334971464359338872.post-71363222051905167462010-04-20T16:34:44.350-04:002010-04-20T16:34:44.350-04:00Great subject, Cerise.

Bu...I agree that COUGAR is a bit of a wince for me.<br />But what to substitute? Cup Cake? Honey Buns?<br />I dunno...<br />And the concept of a man who is too too young make me go ewwww, so the answer is...NOT TOO YOUNG. As one of my author pals says, not into the next generation down. Which means what? 20 years younger.

I think part of it for me is I don't feel like I'm over forty, so those young guys in their twenties don't seem like they're out of my age-range!Debra St. Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154130275058459169noreply@blogger.com
