Older Adults & Younger Sexual Partners

Do older adults prefer younger sexual partners?...

Life is a smorgasbord of people with different tastes, needs, and experiences, so the answer to this question is yes and no.  For some, the idea of being with a younger lover is exciting and allows them to create experiences they wish they had in their younger years.  For others, it is a matter of matching energies and libido.  Some older people have the stamina and drive of teenagers and their counterparts are unable to match them in passion and intensity. 

Those who are not able to match a younger person’s passions would sound a resounding “no” because they can’t imagine having to satisfy someone’s seemingly insatiable libido.  In addition to that chore, younger lovers are always interested in moving around, going places, doing things, seeking entertainment and staving off solitude and boredom.  For an older person, this is exhausting, boring, and a waste of valuable time. 

There is always a gender difference and exceptions when asking these types of questions.  Generic answers are far from satisfying since “one size does not fit all” but some assumptions are usually safe to make since it pertains to a majority of those in these situations. 

Gender

Both men and women are bound to feel flattered and get a boost to their self-esteem if a younger person is interested in them romantically.  The notion that they “still got it” is inescapable and a source of personal satisfaction. 

Both men and women with experience in these matters tend to be less inhibited about their wants and needs.  They tend to be generous lovers and take their time pleasing their partners, while teaching them a thing or two about intimacy. 

Men typically don’t mind being a “sugar daddy” or the dominant, in charge, adult in the relationship. 

Older women typically feel that they have already raised children and are not willing to continue being the only adult in the relationship.  At some point, women are seeking an equal partner that can tie his own shoes and know what his doing (both in and out of the bedroom). 

Age and Experience 

Besides the occasional rump in the hay, older lovers may get bored. 

Being a lover typically means that there is some type of a connection that goes beyond the bedroom and if there are no commonalities or interests, the older person may find their involvement to be a complete waste of their time. 

Time

Younger lovers have all the time in the world.  Older lovers feel that time is valuable and should not be wasted.  A romp between the sheets is not a waste of time for a younger lover.  Wasting time with someone who is not your equal could be considered a waste of time for an older lover. 

The old adage “To each its own” pertains to the smorgasbord of humanity when it comes to choosing partners for life or for a while.  There are probably a lesser amount of older people searching for younger lovers than the media hype has led us to believe.  Fantasy is very different from reality and older people are typically, well grounded in reality.
