The science of Cougar sex

[Bill]

Long story short - evolutionary sexuality theory suggests older women like the cock, love the sperm...

I don't sell much cougar-milf stuff, but this might make for useful selling hooks text for pornslingers that do.

"She NEEDS your SPERM! So give her what she needs, if she agrees to take it up her cougar asshole first!"

A new journal article suggests that evolutionary forces also push women to be more sexual, although in some unexpected ways. University of Texas psychologist David Buss wrote the article, which appears in the July issue of Personality and Individual Differences, with the help of three grad students, Judith Easton (who is listed as lead author), Jaime Confer and Cari Goetz. Buss, Easton and their colleagues found that women in their 30s and early 40s are significantly more sexual than younger women. Women ages 27 through 45 report not only having more sexual fantasies (and more intense sexual fantasies) than women ages 18 through 26; the older women also report having more sex, period. And they are more willing than younger women to have casual sex, even one-night stands. In other words, despite the girls-gone-wild image of promiscuous college women, it is women in their middle years who are America's most sexually industrious.

By contrast, men's sexual interest and output, usually measured by reported number of orgasms per week, peaks in the teen years and then settles to a steady level (an average of three orgasms per week) for most of their lives. As I pointed out in March, most men remain sexually active into their 70s. According to the new study, as well as the one I wrote about in March, women's sexual ardor declines precipitously after menopause.

Why would women be more sexually active in their middle years than in their teens and 20s? Buss and his students say evolution has encouraged women to be more sexually active as their fertility begins to decline and as menopause approaches.

Here's how their theory works:
Our female ancestors would have grown accustomed to watching many of their children — perhaps as many as half — die of various diseases, starvation, warfare and so on before being able to have kids of their own. This trauma left a psychological imprint to bear as many children as possible. Becoming pregnant is much easier for women and girls in their teens and early 20s — so much easier that they need not spend much time having sex. (Read abut cougar cruises.)

However, after the mid-20s, the lizard-brain impulse to have more kids faces a stark reality: it's harder and harder to get pregnant as a woman's remaining eggs age. And so women in their middle years respond by seeking more and more sex.

To test this theory, Buss and his students asked 827 women to complete questionnaires about their sexual habits. And, indeed, they found that women who had passed their peak fertility years but not quite reached menopause were the most sexually active. This age group — 27 through 45 — reported having significantly more sex than the two other age groups in the study, 18 through 26 and 46 and up. Women in their middle years were also more likely than the younger women to fantasize about someone other than their current partner. The new findings are consistent with those of an earlier Buss paper, from 2002, which found that women in their early 30s feel more lustful and report less abstinence than women in other age groups. In both studies, these findings held true for both partnered and single women, meaning that married women in their 30s and early 40s tend to have more sex than married women in their early 20s; ditto for single women. Also, whether the women were mothers didn't matter. Only age had a strong affect on women's reported sexual interest and behavior.

Very interesting, thanks for posting

This might fit in well with the podcast I'm ramping up for.

Nice information about cougar sex.... Usually MILF sex thing is considered as cougar sex IMO. Thanks for posting this.

Seems more milf/mature than cougar oriented, but good info to use.
I've been trying to find cougar sites but been finding they have mature women with mature men passed off as 'cougars'. Tsk tsk.

Seems like a major mistake on the part of evolution, or God or whatever since the risk of birth defects also rise dramatically the older a woman gets.

I always heard a woman's sexual peak was in her 30's, while a man's was like 18 or so. That always seemed a little fucked up to me.

It's not the fault of evolution or God, it is the fault of the human subconscious. Women get closer to the "it's too late to reproduce" point and a voice in the back of their mind says "Quick, get fucked". Men can, in theory, make babies right up until death so their little voice is saying "no hurry, tomorrow will do". But this is simply "being human" not the result of an evolutionary trait.

Since posting my last message it has crossed my mind that perhaps men do subconsciously do a similar thing. Not by worrying about their own "potency", but by worrying about their partner's "potency". When they reach middle age a lot of men have affairs with younger women. Could this be a subconscious attempt to combat the fact that (in their minds) their wives are no longer liable to give them children?

Interesting logic with evolution and lizard-brain impluses. That's a great point about the evolutionary contradiction with the increase in birth defects. Amazing how much of our behavior can be traced back to the cave man days!

I enjoyed this post and the one with the Time article.
Keeping those in mind. Do you think the designer did a good job with this site design?
