Mature Women

73

By wavechild

It seems like ever since the term "MILF" entered the popular lexicon thanks to the crude humor of the movie "American Pie", guys have had a thing for older women.  Or, perhaps it just took this movie to make guys feel more okay about exposing their attraction to women who have passed the bikini model stage of their lives (though mature women in bikinis are also popular with certain groups).  Whatever is the case, these days it's a buyer's market for mature women looking for younger men.  The word "mature", when preceding the word "woman", doesn't really mean old in this case.  It certainly means a woman who is more advanced in years than her partner or the person with an eye on her, but there's more to it than that.  Somehow, the term "mature women" now means an older woman who is also attractive and sexually available.  Any old older woman doen't necessarily qualify for the label.  And although doing a Google search for this term will yield websites of a decidedly adult nature, this article will discuss the growing acceptance and appreciation of mature women in a more informative, less lewd manner.  You won't find any mature women in nylons here

The Science of Mature Women

Lest you should think that it's somehow strange or goes against nature when it comes to mature women dating younger men, have a look at what biologists have to say on the matter. From a purely anecdotal, common sense point of view, young men are less mature sexually, mentally, and physically when compared to women, even women of the same age. It's accepted that women mature faster than men, but when it comes to the maturation of sexual desire, a curious thing happens- women peak sexually in their late 30s/early 40s while men reach the top of their sexual prowess before the tender age of 30, about a decade earlier! This phenomenon has been studied and tested, and has evidence to back it up. Now, those statistics do not speak of skill in the bedroom as much as they do about sexual desire. In simpler terms, guys are the horniest when they're fresh out of high school, while women start to want sex more when they approach 40. Doesn't seem fair, does it? To think of all the young males in college desperately seeking a mate of the same or similar age when there's far more willing partners a few age brackets above them. How natural does THAT sound? Not very, and more people are getting turned on to this fact every day, so to speak.

Mature Women in Action

What young males at their sexual peak lack in terms of skill and finesse, they make up for in terms of pure energy. There's probably the motivation, conscious or unconscious, for young men to hook up with an older woman who knows what she's doing- someone who can understand the relative IM-maturity of young men and perhaps provide some education to make him a better lover.
Then, too, why shouldn't an attractive single mature women take advantage of a good deal? Instead of bedding a flabby older man who may very well need impotence drugs to get it up, she can get the type of body that women are naturally attracted to. While a younger partner may not last long in any individual love session, at least initially, he will at least have a quicker rebound rate, ready to jump back in the fray after a short recharge time.
But I promised that this article would not be lewd, or at least less so than the other sites on mature women, so let us discuss some of the other dynamics in the relationships between mature women and boys, er, I mean, young men. Mature women don't have to let the immaturity of a young buck turn them off, because they've been through it already and they know that's just how it works. Contrast this with the 18 year old college girl already much more sophisticated in behavior than the majority of her male counterparts- this girl is likely to be much more turned off by immaturity, having embarked on one of the first important steps toward adulthood and wondering why the boys are still just boys. She'll be more serious, where the mature woman will be able to have more fun- why shouldn't she, if she's already had a job, been through other serious relationships (probably a divorce or two as well), and is settled in life? A secure woman can afford to have a boyfriend who doesn't have life all figured out. She can always find more of the same, anyway. The term "cougar" has been introduced into common slang to denote a mature "cat" of a woman who preys on younger men…sexually, of course. Whether it's an accurate term or not for mature women looking for toyboys, it does point to the truth that an older woman usually can be more skilled in getting a younger partner of her choosing.

The Present and the Bright Future of Mature Women Singles

Guys into mature women dating can find a partner who is accepting, very likely adventuresome, and most importantly, fun and appreciative.  They realize that mature women will be more understanding, so have less pressure to perform.  This lack of pressure, in turn, makes them do better in the bedroom.  Even with the changing gender roles, guys are still expected to take the lead.  Since young guys usually don't know what they are doing when it comes to dating and sex, this can lead to some very awkward situations.  An sophisticated mature woman can take charge while making the guy feel like a man- quite a rare ego booster for many guys.  It's really a win-win situation any way you look at it, and I wouldn't be surprised if someday mature women dating younger guys becomes the norm.  But beyond the sexual and emotional dynamics, mature women can have a poise that 99% of younger women can't touch.  They have lived longer and seen more, in most cases, than a young man can imagine.  Far from it being all about seeing mature women in girdles, a young man may be interested in an older woman for those intangibles that only time and life can impart.  The look of independence and spirit of strength of a wise older woman is something in a class of its own.

As a "mature" man, your hub makes perfect sense to me and while I would like to relive my twenties (knowing what I know now), today I understand the emotional aspects of a true relationship and better appreciate the compassion that accompanies an intimate moment between two people. It is only sociological standards that have determined age appropriate relations in our culture. You describe the physical and psychological science of human sexuality. A long-term relationship must transcend sex to satisfy the needs of both partners and that requires time, i.e. maturity. In the end, maybe its not a mistake of nature that sexual peaks and psycho/physio maturity "climax" at different times. There is the companionship component to consider as well. People now live longer and enjoy better health than ever. Perhaps your observations are a look into a small window of human evolution. Nature works in mysterious ways. :)

I have to laugh at comments I have seen that were all just trying to feel young and sexy again.. No I think most of us know we are older and we have always known are faults too that's just it.. we got so used to them they don't bug anymore, lol! Hey we have heard it all before even at our youthful best.

But seriously age does NOT stop desire as young folks assume it will and should be happy to know that.

Many thanks for good comments on the subject close to me.

I have an relationship to a 18 year old ‘boy’ (he was 17 when we first meet) and I am 54. It was sex in the beginning where I boosted his ego by letting him understand (softly) how to do. Now one and a half year later our relationship is beyond sex and girdles (both are still there, though) which I would never have believed from the outset.

I also have an excellent relationship to my ‘mother in law’ who is 6 years younger than me as well as he has with my daughters. Our relationship is accepted in both ‘camps’.
