When I was a teenager, I thought people in their 20’s were the most attractive. Now that I’m about 40, I still think people in their 20’s are the most attractive. It’s hard for me to believe that I might ever be attracted to someone past retirement age, even when I’m past retirement age myself, unless the person is like one of those celebrities who look way younger than they are.

This isn’t something I can comfortably ask most older people I know, but there’s one man who admits that he isn’t and one woman who is. Which is more normal?

    You have to stop and think about what is really sexy.

    Is it sexy when someone pretends to be into you? Most people would agree not.

    A person 20 years younger than you, are they really attracted to you? Do they really know you? Do they really want to be with YOU?

    Once sex becomes about the intimate connection and not just the physical bumpin uglies, it changes.

    That said, looking at porn and fantasizing you can pretend to be any age you want. Thus, you may find yourself thinking you are not attracted to people your own age if you are only looking at porn of the “hottest” people.
