Washington D.C. [United States], Feb 4. : Men and women are not 'that' different with respect to age preferences of sexual partners. The difference between men and women with respect to their age preferences, when it comes to sexual partners, is smaller than earlier believed.
A recent study shows that also men become interested in older and older women as they themselves age. While earlier research has indicated that even older men prefer young women, a recent study by Jan Antfolk at Abo Akademi University suggests that this is only partly true.
It is true that men, more than women, tend to maintain a sexual interest in younger partners. Contrary to what has been reported from earlier studies, most men and women are also sexually interested in partners their own age throughout life.
Most sexual activity occurs between partners of approximately the same age. Homosexual and bisexual men and women differ very little from their heterosexual counterparts. The only exception from this is that homosexual men are somewhat more likely than bisexual and heterosexual men to have sex with partners younger than themselves.
