Hot cougar sex!

A new reality show reminds us (again) that an adult woman with a libido is a crazed wildcat. What's so empowering about that?

    Was I a "couger" at age 19?

    I'm in my late 50's and when I was 19 I was seduced by a 15 year old. We were together for a while and it was his idea, not mine. Of course, this is illegal . . . however, when I reached 40 I started to notice that the men my age were loosing interest in sex. Therefore, the men I was involved with were younger. Once again, they chose me.

    That being said I think there is something wrong with anyone, men or women who distinctly have to date younger people. It's pathetic. 90% of the men on dating websites only want to meet younger women.
