Older, younger, same age – what difference does any of it make if we are compatible with our partners in the ways that matter to us?

And certain aspects of one’s private life are never (appropriately) shared with a child, in particular a teenager.

While I may bristle at the term “cougar,” I’m all for the freedom to enjoy whomever you find sexually appealing, where the pleasure is mutual and consensual. And there are plenty of advantages to going a bit younger in partner (when you’re a woman). It’s a matter of energy level that matches up quite nicely.

I thought her childish, the things she said to her teenage son I would never entertain saying to mine. The scene where she is giving a blow job and her son walks in was way over the top. And her insecurity over her male neighbor and his dating younger women was insulting.

A mature, secure woman could give a damned who her neighbor is dating.

From what I saw she was not a representative of most women my age who have dated younger men. Like CJ, I give it another chance. Hopefully the character has grown up a bit and learned that discussing her sex life with her teenager is a wee bit odd.
