Cougar Sex Decoded: Why Older Women Seek Out Younger Men

A new journal article suggests that evolution pushes women to be more sexual than man. University of Texas psychologist David Buss who authored the article said that the women in their 30s and 40s are more sexually active than younger women.

The article is published in July issue of Personality and Individual Differences. Three grad students, Judith Easton (who is listed as lead author), Jaime Confer and Cari Goetz, have also assisted in the study.

Men who cheat on their partners get away, saying “evolution made me do it”. On the Internet, there are numerous articles confirming that men have default tendency to cheat on their spouses. Some of the medical experts and researchers also give nod to this notion.

The infidelity tendency among men was extensively discussed when Tiger Woods’ scores of extra marital affairs came into the light. The list of women with whom Woods slept was simply endless, as almost every day a new face popped up, claiming to have sex with the golf superstar. 


Having said that, has anybody wondered do women go through similar things, if it’s really true that evolution prompts men to cheat on their partners? A new journal article suggests that evolution pushes women to be more sexual than man.

University of Texas psychologist David Buss who authored the article said that the women in their 30s and 40s are more sexually active than younger women. The article is published in July issue of Personality and Individual Differences. Three grad students, Judith Easton (who is listed as lead author), Jaime Confer and Cari Goetz, have also assisted in the study.

The study says that the women aged 27-45 have more sexual fantasies than the women aged 18-26. In addition, the older women also look for more sex. The study suggests that the older women are more willing to have casual sex, most probably one-night stands.

To put in, contrary to general belief, it is women in their middle years who are America’s most sexually industrious, as compared to girls-gone-wild image of promiscuous college women.
