We all know that one of the main reasons why men like dating cougars is because an older woman is more confident and self-assured – in day to day life and of course, from a sexual perspective. Throughout the ages of 27 – 45 women experience more sexual desires and are even more inclined to have casual sex and one-night stands. In contrast, men reach their sexual peak at a younger age and so it makes sense that younger men are better matched sexually, with an older woman.

So why is this? The science or theory behind a woman’s increasing sexual activity or desires is simply due to her fertility which declines with age. Therefore the hormones automatically react to this. It’s harder to get pregnant as you get older and the female body copes with this by wanting more sex. This lustful behaviour in older women isn’t a recent ‘trend’ – our female ancestors also experienced exactly the same feelings!

A psychologist named David Buss carried out a survey and asked 827 women to fill in questionnaires about their sexual habits. The survey concluded that women who had passed their peak fertility years but had not yet reached the menopause were the most sexually active. Regardless of whether these women were mothers, married or single, those in the age bracket of 27 – 45 were more sexually interested or active than those in their early 20’s.

So, if you are going to date a cougar – be prepared. Older women are proven to be more lustful, and now you know why!
