What do you think about a 50 year old woman having sex with an 18 year old? weird or okay?

Vile.

I am 37 and anyone under around 25 or so looks like a kid to me. I can't imagine actually wanting to have sex with someone that young.

Sadly 18 yo boys are simply not that attractive to women, generally.

Very different from the level of attraction so many men have for young girls, which is odd really. I guess women want more than just sex? The sex would be like a duracell bunny anyway I suspect, from memory!
*edit to add, from memory of when I was around 18 and sleeping with those aged boys, not last week or something!

Not true, tons of women like teen boys, that's why it happens so often and is used in movies too.Women are no different to men in their attraction towards the young.

Disgusting

Notagain75 · 21/10/2025 15:19

No, not ok.
Why do you ask?

Lalgarh · 21/10/2025 15:19

Is it her pursuing him or him chasing her.

It might be the latter if he's young and randy

Catpiece · 21/10/2025 15:20

I can’t imagine any woman of 50 feeling comfortable having sex with a teenager

Why indeed?

Where's the OP? Looks like a 'hit and run'.

Junebrick · 21/10/2025 15:21

Gross. Let's imagine a 50 year old with someone who is 17 and 11 months (a child). Then fast-forward a month, yes they're technically an adult but the same person as before. Just weird.

AltitudeCheck · 21/10/2025 15:21

The age difference implies a power difference which people have rightly pointed out is pretty grim ... however I would want to know more before reaching that conclusion, some 18 year old men can also be predators / visit prostitutes/ take advantage of vulnerable women.

PreciousTatas · 21/10/2025 15:22

I'm 38 and cannot comprehend a grown woman who would see an 18 year as anything more than an overgrown child.

Its not only immoral, it's icky.

Yes, exactly the same as the sexes reversed.

Do you have any figures or proof? I know as a woman I couldn't sleep with someone that young and I'm not 50 yet. Seems to be most women on here think similarly.

The amount of female peadophiles is astonishingly small in comparison to men.

Many women in their 50s, such as myself, do find younger men attractive, yes.

I emphasise men however. Not boys. A teenager, even if 'legal', is a boy. I don't know any woman my age who could look twice at a boy that young. It's ick in the extreme.

SwedishEdith · 21/10/2025 15:24

It's half term.

Hons123 · 21/10/2025 15:24

Really wrong.

Perfectlove · 21/10/2025 15:24

Totally wrong.

So explain the reason for asking, and why you think it's OK?

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

ShesRunningOutTheDoor · 21/10/2025 15:25

Grim

Leadonmacduffs · 21/10/2025 15:25

Creepy and weird - just as it would be for a man that age to be doing that with someone barely into adulthood.

I don't know what kind of 'women' you know, but in general no, they are not attracted to the 'young' 🤢.

Any adult who is must be deficient or lacking in some way. Its definitely not normal.

Yes,google it. Tons of teens having sex with much older women. Cougars are literally a thing.

Female pedophilles don't get the same attention as male ones and boys don't speak out, either because they enjoy it or are scared because of the gender stigma. But there are lot more female pedophilles than people think.

Men, both straight and gay, are often attracted to teenagers.

Women hardly ever are.

PreciousTatas · 21/10/2025 15:27

Yawn.

How predictable.

Obviously a man trying to make himself feel better for his deluded and dangerous fantasies with 'See, the womenz do it too'.

LeanToWhatToDo · 21/10/2025 15:27

The little bum-fluff hair legs.
The poor general hygiene.
The grumpy grunts for conversation when hungry.
The general stick man gangliness.

Just no! Dread to think what kind of films you are talking about OP.

Well it's grim and predatory but they would not be paedopliles
