Just in time for the debut of our latest and spiciest installment of new and improved porn—Porn for Women of a Certain Age—the internet is all abuzz about the sexiness that comes with maturity:

“Let me look at eye candy on a DVD or at the beach,” writes sexuality educator Katherine Anne Forsythe, MSW, on the National Sexuality Resource Center’s website. “I can fantasize about him when alone. For my real bedroom, give me a seasoned man. I’ll take the older guy who takes his time. The one who plays and teases, and offers suggestions of new titillating erotic ideas…Give me someone who knows what I like and cares enough to make sure I get it. I’ll place my bets on the older guy.”

Thanks to prescription drug “enhancers,” increased empathy for what women want, and bedroom encounters that move beyond straight-laced been-there-done-that lovemaking, mature men are looking more desirable than ever.

And the same goes for the other side of the equation: Mike Strobel of The Toronto Sun received a letter questioning why the newspaper’s daily “SUNshine girls,” beach babes pictured provocatively in swimsuits, are never over 40. In response, he solicited photos of “fine-wine women,” and entries from fit ‘n’ foxy older ladies came rushing in faster than you could say hotttt flash. “I’m swamped with cougars, red-hot mommas, fit-but-50s, and other varieties of The New Woman, ages 40 to 101,” he reports.

Just the idea was enough to get male readers drooling: “ ‘I can’t wait,’ said Craig Wilson, for most of the men who e-mailed. ‘There are a lot of amazing women of all ages out there.’ ”

Gushing about his girlfriend, another gent added, “ ‘She’s still got it, mate, big time!…An ultra-hottie at age 52….But she doesn’t have that haughty hottie attitude.’ ”

A third wise fellow summed it up like this: “ ‘An older woman has class and experience — and it shows.’ ”

Cheers to experience, then, and lovers of that certain age.
