TOPIC: Age preference - a study of SLS friends

Created by: CuriousElders Original Starting post for this thread:
For older swingers, age is an issue. Since we are at the upper end of those participating in the lifestyle, we decided to look into the matter. A few years ago we looked at the preferred age bracket among the seventy-nine SLS couples we had as friends. It is clearly not a random sample simply because we selected them as friends for one reason or another and not for age, however, we tend to stick with folks over fifty. We compiled the data and this is what we found. The average age of the men was 55.6, and for women of the couple, 54.0. The age range for men was 48 to 69; for women it was 48 to 65. In summarizing the age preferences of this group, we took the average age of the couples, 55, and the average of the lower and higher age limits. What we found was that was low end was 17.4 years younger that they were (about 37) and the high end was 8.3 years older than they were when they specified a limit (about 63) - a definite bias toward youth. Data for the high end was inconclusive because ten couples used an upper limit of 99 which a couple we met told us that it meant that there was no upper age limit. None of this should be surprising since it is well known that sexual vigor, if not the desire, tends to diminish with age. Accordingly, those interested in sex with others will seek out those in whom the juices are still in full flow. A closer look at our sample reveals some subsets with differing outlooks. There are ten couples who have no upper age limit. For two couples, the low end of the bracket is a 21, which means that the age of their partners is irrelevant. For other it varies from a few years younger than they to quite a bit younger. The majority of the couples favor ages about 15 years younger to about 10 years older - a reasonable range. Ten couples like to have partners who are anywhere from about 12 to 26 years younger than they are, but limit the upside to couples less than five years older than themselves. We are bemused by these folks who are willing to mix it up with a much younger crowd, but don't entertain folks much older than themselves. We think this is reflective of an inflated ego that would not be of interest to us. As the lifestyle community expands, we feel there is a place for older swingers that is presently lacking. We do all we can to demonstrate that sex is rejuvenating and invigorating. Our experience is that it is the older women who retain their enthusiasm, interest and sexual capability well into their sixties and seventies. The pharmaceutical industry has come to the aid of the men who would otherwise have called it quits. Although many swingers may think that they are God's gift to those younger than themselves, the elders among us can demonstrate what is in store for younger folks as they age. We will make optimists of you. Give older swingers a try.

User Details are only visible to members.	Interesting data. We wonder why, even with the early 60 year old crowd, the maximum age usually requested is 65. Do people in their 50's and 60's think that when couples passes their 66th birthday, that everything quits working? We are in better shape than many of our friends who are 15 to 20 years years younger than we are. If you could see the constant smile on my face, you would know my husband's equipment still works fine!

User Details are only visible to members.	I know this is a little out of place in this forum, being only 26, but personally, I prefer an older partner to a younger one. Mostly, this is a personal attraction, but I also find older females to be better lovers than there younger counterparts. I have been with a few ladies much older than me, an I am definitely aware of the difference, both in their personal maturity and talents. Most mature women prefer someone in their general age group, as well as younger females that prefer the same. However, there are always some that prefer those who are younger or older than them, with younger men usually being dismissed by older women. If you think this post is out of place, I apologize, but I just saw the forum and thought I would post my two cents.

User Details are only visible to members.	SLS > Groups > "St. Louis Area Over-50 Swinging Couples" is a nice group of 50+ committed couples that hosts both monthly house parties and monthly M&G's. Right now up to 32 member couples. Parties are small and friendly, typically anywhere from 4 to 12 couples attending (usually closer to 4 or 5). House party invitations are made by the party hosts to couples who have been 'verified' as for real. This protects everyone's privacy and safety. You can find all of the guidelines on the groups SLS page. Jack n Darlene

User Details are only visible to members.	VRB ... we can understand your decision to not restrict membership and have attended several groups like that. It's been our experience that, over time, the younger members tend to crowd out the older couples though. We've been told point-blank to not bother returning because we're not young enough or hot enough and the younger members now considered it 'their group'. We've also seen the younger set form cliques so tight that the entire group died when non-clique members just got pushed aside and stopped coming. That's one big reason why we restricted membership to 50-and-over couples. With the response that we've seen here, there seems to be more than a few other mature couples who no longer want to bother with the drama and headgames that youngsters can introduce.
