Can a woman of a certain age be hot?

Roseann4708 said:

After I'd decided on this title for my thread I realized that it could be misinterpreted by some. To be as clear as I can, I'm not referring to those occasions when I am experiencing my own personal summer. (Women over 45 will understand what I mean by that. LOL)

Until the last several years I was most reluctant to pose nude. Despite my photographer's repeated assurances I felt that my body wasn't hot enough for sexy or erotic photos. For photos from my 20's and 30's, I finally came to realize how right he was. In large measure that was due to the patience and understanding shown to me by a new, young g/f who helped me shed most of the negative body image my mom had instilled in me.

Some might disagree that I was hot when I was younger. Each according to his own taste, as the French put it. Here is a link to a scan of a Polaroid taken when I was 25, my very first nude. My initial scan was even poorer quality till my g/f used her considerable photo-editing skills to make it acceptable for sharing.

There follow links to scans of two 35mm slides taken in different sessions either side of my 30th birthday.

Last is a link to a scan of a slide taken when I was 32.

Based on these photos would you agree that I had a hot body when I was in my 20's and 30's? Honest opinions only, please. Thanks!

From time to time I may add other photos from my younger days in response to requests if, of course, there are any.

Some consider the phrase "woman of a certain age" demeaning to women. I've always felt quite the reverse and much prefer it to the over-used adjective "mature," let alone the kiss of death adjective "old." I feel just as vibrant and alive as I did in the photos I'm sharing here and infinitely more knowledgeable, albeit with a bit less energy and a few more aches and pains. A few might even challenge me as being beyond the upper age limit for correct use of the phrase. That's their problem.

I plan to address why I started my own thread and my expectations for it in a subsequent post.

I'll end by extending you a warm welcome to my thread and hope that you'll join me regularly.

You are amazing! Can my wife (RC schools) come stay with you for some therapy? Being from the same general area ( tornado alley) it is amazing how religious upbringing was/is a form of brainwashing. Having traveled the world you realize nudity and other "vices" when addressed early and naturally results in a lot less screwed up people and less related crimes. You are lucky to have a good photographer as well. Being one as well, I have yet to convince my model to pose! I would love to have you in my landscapes. Thanks for your posts!

Incredible as always. Your legs are always phenomenal, but I agree that the way you're lying in this picture makes your breasts look particularly amazing. The only thing really distracting about this picture is wondering about the staining on the top of your stocking on your right thigh

Hi Rose, I love your pics. Especially the very first one (the B&W) ... so sexy! And, it has nothing to do with age.
I've always been attracted to older ladies, especially ones that look as good as you.
Welcome to Lit and please keep posting. You have an admirer.

If there is any doubt about the powerful effect parents have on their children's self esteem, just take a look at this beautiful woman.

It seems everyone around you found you stunning except you. It's no wonder given the damage your mother apparently inflicted.

Ma'am
I must say you have acutally become more attractive with age. You should have no problem attracting any man you would want.

Especially me

Glad you like the photo. I'm not sure that I was aware how sexy I looked at the time I was posing, but I know now how right you are. What really makes it that way for me are how my outer labia show through the thicket of my pubic hair. Would you agree?

Thanks.

While I qualify as a "Ma'am" because of my chronological age, I don't feel anywhere near that old.

Thanks. I do get to choose all the photos I share which saves you from having to see all those over the years when I was wearing business attire, wearing rubber gloves cleaning the oven, etc.

My breasts have had a loyal and devoted congregation of one for 42+ years now and are available for worship 24/7. However, if I win a few new converts our modest sanctuary should be able to accommodate them. My photographer has never once been tempted by another goddess to switch his allegiance. I have rewarded his loyalty by recently granting him a life-time reservation for the first pew.

Thanks for all your compliments.

Rose,
I ment nothing by the Ma'am. I have always treated a woman with the utmost respect. I call all ladies Ma'am. It was in no way a comment on your age (which I am not sure about anyway.... Hell... I am probably older than you are) I simply mean it as a term of respect

you are very beautiful!

I woman writer once said, and I paraphrase loosely, that young men faces are like their lives; nothing interesting is written there.

It is this that I find intriguing about you; the single, long-ago picture of a woman who dared to grasp her humanity and sexuality in a time when women, though freed from the grossest constraints of patriarchy, still risked much to be so open. That bespeaks a woman who has taken chances, made mistakes, reveled in pleasure and known pain; in short, a woman whose responses to the world will be nuanced and thoughtful, and whose many stories will draw me in and allow me the luxury of living in her world, with all its charms, colors and characters. These are things no 19 year old, whatever her outward charms, can promise me, and it is in that internal garden that I desire to wander, for it makes the other pleasures of our time the more arousing, more sensate.
