Question for people over 50: As you have gotten older, have you become more sexually attracted to older people (around your own age)?

For example: right now I'm sexually attracted to men around 25-35 (my attraction to women skews a bit higher at around 35-45). I was wondering if, for example, I will be sexually attracted to 50+ year olds when I am 50.

I know there was that OkCupid study, but the fact older women are less likely to message men younger than them on OkCupid doesn't necessarily mean they're less sexually attracted to them - there could be other factors involved, like feeling younger guys are less mature.

So what's your personal experience? This question is referring solely to sexual/physical attraction.

  • I usually do not find people in my own age group attractive all that often. I tend to find much younger to be more attractive although I don't tend to get any reciprocation from the age group which I find attractive.

  • I am now 51 and find myself sexually attractive to women 18-65

    • 18 too young! 25+ at least

    • Yikes 18 is way too young lmao. I like older guys but man that's too much

    • Yah that’s it! The law was set up as a minimum not the standard. Guys over 50 shouldn’t be dating 18 years old is too creepy. I’m in my late 30’s I slept with one 18 year old. Everywhere we went everyone stared at us. Is not a good feeling. Now I go for 23 years and higher.

  • I'm not over 50

  • I don't like ANY of your options! I prefer women OLDER than 25 to 35!

  • We're in the Lifestyle and the majority of our playmates are +10/-15 years of us. But we also have a few that are 25 years younger than us.

  • If this question is referring solely to sexual/physical attraction as you say and not to moral then I would say that men of any age would be sexually attracted to young recently fertile women, i. e. 16-21 year old women. You can say that these very young women can't be a serious partner for long time relationship, especially if the man is 40+
    and for the majority you could be right.
    As a rule of thumb, I would say that the man should be a maximum of twice as old as the woman and a minimum of 25 years old for a wedding

  • Wow how time flies age is jus a number when I was younger 50 looked very old an my generation we stayed the same as we are today so I still look in my 20s but the year I was born but the 80s still alive in my blood

  • Iam below 50, but I have attraction for younger and same age groups

  • I am 62 and attracted to 40ish women by 40 one is done screwing around and they rrady to settle down

  • Guys in their 50s hit on me all the time lol

  • I'm in my 50s. I don't find women over 30 attractive, even if they're "pretty." I would rather date a plain 25 year old than a gorgeous 30-something. I would not even want to be stuck on a desert island with someone in their 40s, let alone my own age.

  • I’m 52, but everyone thinks I’m low 40s. I don’t find anyone over 45 attractive. That number has crept up though bc I didn’t find anyone over 40 attractive a few years ago.
    I’ve always been more attracted to women younger than me. As bad as this may sound it’s biology, the male lion doesn’t want to mate with the old female, he wants to mate with the young fertile ones. When I pick out fruit at the market, I don’t look for the old, rotten fruit, but for the ripe, fresh fruit. I’ll always be si for though so not sure I’m the best answer to listen to.

  • Not over 50 however I have found that in general as I've aged. The older I get, my views change.
