It is true that younger men are interested in older women for sex-only
relationships, and that older women also find that to be a good
situation. Partner sex is good, and just because someone isn't in, or
even doesn't want a pair bond, doesn't mean the person should give up
that aspect of life. Old fashioned sexual morality belongs on the
shit-heap of human history.
