Wise-ass Cary McNeal takes on this question, and is stocked with reasons why older men are way better at sex. First, he says, they have been with more women and therefore know more about women's anatomy. Second, old-timers have more patience and realize that longer romps in the sack are more enjoyable than trying to get off as soon as possible. Third, older men pay attention to how you're responding, and will change how they make love to you based on what you like and don't like. And finally, McNeal says, older guys know that it's better to give than to receive, and get more out of giving you pleasure.

I posted this question because I'm curious what our intrepid and vocal readers have to say about whether or not older men are better at sex.
I think McNeal's answer is great, but I also think that, like socialism or open relationships, his reasons only work in theory. I've met plenty of older men that aren't patient, observant, selfless, or even slightly familiar with the female anatomy. But if we're speaking in generalities ...
The main difference I've seen between older and younger men is that younger men are much more self-absorbed, and rightly so. They're still trying to work out who they are and what they're doing, so they don't have a lot of time left over to focus on who you are and what you're doing.
This is totally fine if you are young as well, because you're also learning to take care of your needs. Instead of looking for older men who know so much about sex, you're teaching other men your age how to have sex with you.
Older men have gained the ability (one hopes) to step outside themselves and see the larger picture, sexually and emotionally. They don't have to be taught the basics, just the fun stuff that makes you different from all the other women.
But one woman's trash -- sexually -- is another woman's treasure, so I'm still up in the air on this one.
Are older men better at sex? What does "better at sex" mean to you? I mean, who hasn't daydreamed about teaching a Jonas Brother a thing or two, or about having some distinguished older gent go old-school and dote on you completely? Tell us your experience with older men vs. younger men!

Why must people make a valid arguement sound riduculous by dragging political and economic analogies into it? Bad move. I'm sure that plenty of your readers are socialists or in an open relationship. Nicely done.

Okay, I'll be blunt: save for one guy my own age back in high school, I cannot stand younger guys as romantic partners or even men my own age. Why? Because I don't have 20 years to wait about, hoping that he gets his stuff together. Seriously. When I was 21, I was ready to settle down, get married, and start a family, so I married a wonderful man 15 years older and after 10 years we're still blissfully happy. What guy at 21 is ready for all of that? I guess it depends on what you want in life. If you want a man with whom you can claim to have grown up and struggled through life then same age guy it is. If you want a guy who is mature and responsible (not to mention a kinder and better lover) then you have to go older. Let's face it: at exactly the time in which women are becoming fertility challenged, men are beginning to just think about having kids. It may suck for the p.c. crowd, but according to nature (and most traditional societies) the man is definitely supposed to be a bit older (about 10 to 20 years) than the woman. He has matured, is ready to commit, is more mellow, and has the resources to support a family. A young guy has none of the above. Sorry, but nature is sexist.

Uh, I resent that. I am 20, and have the want and the resources to support a family right now. Thanks for generalizing though.

I had my first older lover when I was 21 years old. He was 42. He taught me things about my own body I couldn't even have guessed at. He stopped me faking it like a porn star (without embarrassing me) and how to relax. I learned that someone else's pleasure can be derived from pleasuring me. I learned about the journey and stopped rushing to the destination. In the 18 intervening years the only lovers I have truly connected with have been at least 10 years my senior. I'll admit this is going to pose some problems the older I get but I'm game if they are. I'm still hot enough to be asked out regularly by 25 year olds. A good time if I want to stay up all night playing Halo.

If you are between 40 and 50, I believe we have things in common. Shall we discuss this privately?
The pleasure of pleasuring is under-regarded. Waiting and waiting for her to reach her ecstasy is an earned and learned trait. Somewhat like your first earned million. Beyond the bedroom, life together can be most pleasureable if it is savored, shared. Shall we strart the adventure?

Not to be egomaniacal, but we're not just better at sex, we're better at everything (except perhaps basketball or rave-dancing). In anything that requires experience, obviously repetition builds skill. At a certain point, of course, we won't have the stamina of a younger guy...but modern health improvements are putting that further off all the time.

As an older woman who has had quite a bit of experience in the last several years with older and younger guys I would have to give the edge to the younger guys for the most part. While older men should have more experience and be more patient, etc. I have found this not to be the case. Older men are much more set in their ways and don't seem to care what works for you. I have met two or three exceptions. I have encountered many men in their 20's who were very willing to do whatever it took to please and of course their stamina is without question. Maybe the older guys should make more of an effort.

When i was 26 I dated a 46 year old and he was (still is) the best thing that ever happened to me... This guy was amazing in bed and soooo thoughtful and generous... Of course I also gave him everything he wanted but we had a chemistry that noone else has come close to...
A year later I dated a 39 year old who turned out was the most immature guy I had ever met (including younger guys I dated in highschool) and the sex wasn't even half as good... actually.. not even a third.. what a disappointment!!!!!!

I'm 36 and have to agree with the earlier comments that younger men are better in bed, especially if it's a one-night-stand no strings attached fling. By younger men, I mean those about mid 20's. I only go for cute fit guys who look after themselves and find they offer enthusiasm, stamina and imagination in bed. After all what more can a woman want in bed than a young Adonis anxious to please and with the skills to do it?

It's true. Older men are better. At least the one I've been with. I'm 21 years old and my boyfriend is 39. I've been with about 12 men, all under 30, and most of them my own age at the time, and my current beau is the most amazing...by far. It's true that experience may play a part, but I am only the second woman he has been with, the first one being his wife of 15 years. I think that his past marriage actually is what really makes him better. He pays attention to me, wants to please me, and has a lot of built up desire from the lack of sex that he got while married. I am his muse, young and much hotter than anything he thought he'd ever get, and he keeps me interested, despite any fear of losing me to the younger men. It's also easier to connect emotionally to him, knowing that he actually understands emotions, unlike the guys I've had before.

30 something is not old for a man.

This thread is very interesting, but smacks of generalisation, and a predominant theme is highly apparent throughout.. different women like different things, including the age/experience of their lovers. As a younger but highly attentive guy, I'd like to think that some men come somewhere in the middle of youth and experience, and therefore have the best of both worlds :-)
