The appeal of
May/December romances, especially when it’s a younger man with an older woman
Biology dictates this one to be a no-brainer. Combine the stamina-juicing hormones of a
twenty-something man with the experience-steeped pheromones of a
forty-something woman and you have one heck of a power shake. I’m talking anti-oxidant, radical-free, stimulant
inducing, de-toxifying ecstasy smoothie.
Anyone else hungry?
Er—eh, hem. Perhaps it’s just me, but I find this
concoction to be quite enticing. On tour
with Lust on the Rocks, I also find it to be the popular question! And how many times can you talk lust? Desire,
intimate relations...
Giggle. Is there a
limit? Does one ever tire of talking young, dark and sexy?
I think not! But young doesn’t have to be dark. Or tall.
Young isn’t about looks so much as pure sex appeal. Personal appeal—something that changes from eye to eye. Me? I enjoy
a variety of size, shape, color and style but the one thing that remains
constant is my attraction to “fun.” Especially when entertaining thoughts of
younger men.
Meow. (Is there a
cougar in the room?) Why be finicky? I mean, young and virile is young and
virile, right? And when you add deliciously willing to please, well then, I’m
all ears. And that’s part of the
attraction with younger men. They know the prize at stake. They instinctively
sense the long lazy curves mixed with dangerous hair pin turns that lay ahead, bordering
the likes of sheer cliffs and slippery slopes.
But these boys don’t shy away from slick conditions or
challenging light—oh, no! They’re thrill
seekers at heart with no regard for their mortality. On the contrary, they’re
in it to win it—and the older woman is more than willing to accommodate—so long
as said young man is willing to work for it.
And I dare you to present me with the young man not willing to try. Does such a creature exist? I do love a go-getter. Ambitious,
industrious... Are we still talking
young men and older women? Easily sidetracked, I am.
It’s a curse! But yes, we are most certainly still talking
younger men and older women and the attraction runs deeper than strength and
stamina. It runs straight down to the core of our nature. “Big, strong man
takes over luscious, delectable woman.”
Notice I didn’t say small or weak. There’s a reason. Men don’t care the size of a woman’s
body. Men don’t particularly lust after
weakness and fragility. Men want strong, confident women. They want a woman who knows what she wants
and when they find one? They’ll chase
her all day long and clear into the night.
And that’s been true since the beginning of time.
Disagree? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Author bio:
Dianne lives in Central Florida
with her husband, two children and part-time Yellow Lab--Cody-body! When not whacking away at her keyboard
crafting her next novel you'll find her in their organic garden chasing
grasshoppers and plucking hornworms all while drawing wild analogies between
kids and plants and men. Definitely men.
A girl's gotta have fun, right?
When she's not knee-deep in dirt or romance, Dianne
contributes garden advice for various websites and volunteers in her kids'
school garden (a crazy existence to be sure). But at the end of the day, if she
can inspire someone to stop and smell the roses--or rosemary!—kiss their child
and spouse good-night, be kind to a neighbor and Mother Earth, then she's done
all right.
