I will say this. As a male in his late 40s, I can still look at an 18 year old and very much be aware of how attractive she is. I may even fantasise about being young again and with such a girl. But, I would feel seriously uncomfortable about being sexual with someone so young in real life. It would just seem so wrong to me. I am not comfortable with actually entertaining the notion of sex with someone easily young enough to be my daughter, and would feel like a dirty old perv if I did.
But that's just me. If any forty something of either gender wants to screw an 18 year old, and that 18 year old is equally happy screwing them, both are having fun with it and perfectly happy about it, and if that feels ok for them, I'll not make moral judgements about it. Live and let live.
Personally speaking, though, although I do tend more often to be attracted to younger women, and can recognise the sexiness of any good looking adult female of any age, in terms of sexual activity or relationships, any younger than about mid-30s upwards and she'd probably be too young for me.
My preferences run to the younger side as well, I'm 33 (soon to be 34) and my hubby is 29, but I still have preferred age ranges that I'd be uncomfortable going out of.
I think it's the maternal part of me that makes looking at younger guys feel wrong. I have an almost 17 year old girl, I just can't look at people in the same age range and find them sexy or a turn on. To much ick factor there for me.
