These girls with old gents don't do it despite the age–they're drawn to the age, they do it for the age. Why? In Consuela's case, because the vast difference in age gives her permission to submit, I think. My age and mystatus give her, rationally, the license to surrender, and surrendering in bed is a not unpleasant sensation. But simultaneously, to give yourself over intimately to a much, much older man provides this sort of younger woman with authority of a kind she cannot get in a sexual arrangement with a younger man. She gets both the pleasures of submission and the pleasures of mastery. Philip Roth
About This Quote

I think that of all the reasons why women get involved with older men, this is one of the main ones. If you're a woman and you're married and your husband's just not doing it for you anymore, why not go for an older man who will enjoy your body better than your husband did? I know all the reasons why older men will always be better in bed than younger ones. They'll be more experienced, they'll know how to get you off, and they'll take less time than their younger counterparts. But if they took less time because they weren't as good in bed, then that wouldn't make them more appealing to women. Older men will always be better in bed because they've had more experiences and they're more experienced.
