I am 59 years old, and I still haven't peaked. if anything, as I have grown older, everything about sex and attraction has improved greatly.

That's awesome, hope this isn't weird but it gives me hope to hear about the experiences of older lesbians. So many people who are LGB nowadays are kind of whacky, and knowing there are people out there who remember what it was like before TQ ideology is comforting

Is this the study you are referring to?

It's a bit creepy that men in their fifties are still lusting after 20 year olds...

I saw this study when I was maybe 17/18, and used to worry about it a lot at the start of my 20s because admittedly I also found 20/21/22 year olds most attractive. Thankfully in my mid 20s I now think 20 year olds look like half-children. I don't think referring to their attraction as peaking represents it well, if that's the study OP was referring to. They never graded the intensity of their attraction, just graphed who it was directed towards as their age changed. But yes so far I seem on track to create a graph that more closely follows my own age.

Yeah I kind of worded my question wrongly, sorry. English is not my first language lol. I meant which age group you find most attractive in relation to your own age and if it changes

Exactly this study, yep. Grossed me out so much. One of the best things about being a lesbian, apart from women, is the fact that we don't have to try and mold ourselves into a model of what men find most attractive... Yuck. I would rather just exist for myself, thanks

I think I know what study you're talking about but I thought the men's attraction peaked at 25.

I like older women. They are more interesting than people around my age (mid twenties). When I'm older I'll probably just be into women my own age.

I’m in my mid twenties and my attraction to women is at an all time high. I’m more woman crazy now then when I was horny teenager. Im also now finding older women (mid 30s to early 40s) who got their shit together more attractive whereas before I had my eyes only on women around my age.

I have always been pretty interested in women around their late 20s/early 30s. Now I am in that age group, so it will be interesting to see if that changes once I get older.

I’ve noticed that as I’ve gotten older what I’m attracted to has kind of shifted. It sounds weird, but the way women over 30 look when they have cellulite and like are starting to age from that childish look to that real woman look has been a huge difference. I think for me what changed was I moved from the VA/DC area where there was this constant pressure to be and look a certain way and everyone was trying to attain this perfect body and then I moved down to the Tampa Bay Area in FL where there’s a huge huge mix of body types and when you’re on the beach and you see all of these different body types and ages of women you really end up appreciating all types and finding things that you might not have thought you’d find attractive, but end up being really in to it. I think what we find to be attractive evolves as we evolve and as our own bodies start to change.
