Here we see exhibited the classic type of misunderstanding that results in these threads. Miss Understanding, the single mother of alienation between the sexes.

Women don't point the bone, they point the finger.

Usually, 20yo women don't bang 60yo men for love. And vice-versa.

Mistresses are usually paid, as are masters. And what of the recent 'cougar' revelations? Not relevant?

The actual sex is not the issue, it's the motivation, and surrender, to indulge that's behind the decision. That is the issue.

And that's true of both sexes.

Really, why should such relationships be seen as exploitative or abhorrent? We have examples from popular religions where such liaisons are deemed acceptable in modern society, do we not?

I recall a recent newspaper article by a female journalist whose mother/father (late 80's), in dotage/dementia, was confined to a nursing home. Subsequently found in an undressed state with another patient, similarly afflicted, in a compromising situation. Her question was, "Do I do something about it, or let them enjoy their time together?"

Good question.

Too true! And some possess nails that have never been hammered.

I don't think young men hooking up with older women is unusual.  A young man of say, 20 hasn't yet reached his peak, while a woman of say, 45 reached hers long ago and is on the decline.  Regardless of their past, their current sexual value is about equal.
