Reuters: What Older Women Want, Men Can't Deliver?

[Laurel]

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Many older women still want to have sex, but they might find their men cannot oblige.

So says a global survey of 27,780 adults aged 40 to 80 from 30 countries that found aging women become sexually dysfunctional at about half the rate of men.

"To the extent that women are (sexually active), they may be facing men who have problems," said lead researcher Edward Laumann, a University of Chicago sociologist due to present some of his findings at a Vancouver, British Columbia, conference on Thursday.

Sex should be banned once you hit 60.

wasn't that the point behind viagra? I know, not originally, but....

The sexual "peaking cycles" are out of phase too.



Life isn't fair...

I can take care of that problem those women have...

Egads. Maybe lesbians do have a biological purpose.

Sex for sex's sake isn't a biological need.

[islandman]

Wonder if that explains my thing for older women..............

 

[hogjack]

Maybe

I think outsourcing is the answer to these women's needs.

"Sex for sex's sake isn't a biological need."

If that were true, human females would go into heat like other females instead of being sexually 'ready' 24/7/52.

 

[Laurel]

My libido is way greater than it was at 20, and I enjoy sex waay more than I did then, too.

One could say the same thing about gay guys also.







Well, that's one solution...

Can't speak for anybody else, but I find older women are more demanding, more sensual, more liberated and more fun . . . but then, a satisfied woman is a sight to be enjoyed . . .

I agree with that...certainly more liberated, and they have a much better idea of what they want.

We know what we want, and we know how to get it.

How? Looks? Money? Begging?
Let me in on the secret. You know you can trust me.

In all seriousness though Never, I think it comes down to learning about your own body (which does take time) and the things that turn you on.

More important than that though is truly accepting and not judging ourselves as women based on our sexual desires, and being able to express them to our lovers without shame.

 

[erosman]

On the 'men can't deliver front', I think women would do better to steer towards men who don't have to prop themselves up in order to support their ego. Of the individuals that I know where impotence is a problem, pride is the key factor that holds them back from getting help, and...consequently intimacy, and ultimately their wives' satisfaction.



You can teach an old dog new tricks...if he's teachable

Damn. That sounds like hard work. Well, I know I like Catwoman and vibrators so I guess I’m not doing all that bad.

Women seem to live longer lives than men, don't they?...so, who was the brain that decided that the man should be older than the woman, anyway?..... A man does not need to be older than a woman to protect or provide for her, if that is the plan. The man is still the strong one, physically, even though he is younger....is 10 to 15 years younger too much????....*S*

 

[ranajja]

Yep...

My libido is way greater than it was at 20, and I enjoy sex waay more than I did then, too.

Ditto...
