I've been with older men and with younger men and much prefer older men. They know how to treat a lady and their heads aren't filled with locker room bullshit. There is one younger man I'm quite interested in, but he's intelligent, mature, funny, caring and has an amazing spirit. He's not like most men his age.
I find the whole cougar thing kind of sad and creepy. Although I did have a fun fling with a 17 year old when I was 28. We were friends, both single at the time. He loved giving oral. I loved getting oral. I was a lot of "firsts" for him. His first blowjob to completion/swallowing, his first morning head (always nice to wake up to), his first anal (giving and receiving,) his first threesome, his first prostate massage, his first light BDSM (a little spanking, light bondage, nipple play, orgasm denial, forced oral servitude,) his first rimming (giving and receiving.) I pretty much took him under my wing and taught him some amazing stuff. It seemed like the right thing to do at the time. And he's no worse for wear (and boy did I wear him out!).
I didn't have a sexual teacher myself. Everything I've learned has been either on my own or with an equally curious, but clueless playmate fumbling through with me. Most everything has come naturally to me, at least when it comes to anything skin-on-skin. I've have instruction about enemas and such from people old and young. But I'm good with all the regular "put tab A into slot B" kind of activities.
When I was 18, I played with a man in his early-to-mid eighties. I used to hang out at his place with a guy I went to school with and we'd talk and listen to music. Occasionally, my friend and I would have sex in front of him. He loved to watch. Sometimes I'd go up by myself. My God, you'd have thought it was Christmas for him. We'd get drunk, lie down in his bed, kiss and "pet" each other. He told me that he couldn't have sex anymore, but I didn't have a problem with that. I went down on him and he loved it. He didn't get hard and didn't cum, but loved the way it felt. He'd never gone down on a woman before, but I encouraged him to give it a go. He was nervous and shy at first, but eventually got the hang of it. He lapped me up like crazy. It wasn't the best I'd had, but he had fun and he loved it. He said he had no idea that pussy tasted so sweet and was so glad I convinced him to go down.
I've played with some older men who weren't as experienced as lovers my age or younger. It must be a generational thing, but the women they had been with before were rather uptight and didn't go for anything other than straight sex, missionary position. No oral, no anal, no lights. Nothing.
Sexually speaking, older men are more interesting and more fun in bed. I don't want to teach anyone how to play. I'd like them to know more than just how to jackhammer my head into the wall all night. It doesn't matter how long you can last if you don't know how to do it right the first time. Older men take time to get to know their lover's bodies. They're more open-minded. They love to explore, are more willing to experiment and less likely to refuse to do something based on misinformation or assumptions. They relax more and don't need their egos stroked as much. They've already gone through the "This has never happened to me before" experience and don't dwell on when things go wrong. They prefer to accept whatever happens and do what it takes to make the lady happy. Older men are just more fun in bed.
Emotionally, older men win hands down. They've been through things and lived to tell the story. They are more intelligent, more rational, more mature and much more interesting to talk to. I don't care if a penis lasts twenty minutes or two hours, but by God, when it's all said and done, I want someone who can hold a conversation. I have no need for boytoys in my bed. If I want to cum, I've got toys. If I want intimacy and fun, it's older men for me.
