The really ridiculous thing about the stigma associated with older women/
younger men relationships is that it is simply a physical fact that women
reach their sexual peak at a much higher age than men.  Such a relationship,
in actuality, would be only logical.  Also, some people maintain the presence
of a "motherly instinct" in women.  If, indeed, this is also a physical fact
(I'm not altogether sure), that would make one more reason for a secure older
woman to seek out a less secure and mature younger man.

However perhaps I am not qualified to say, as I have never had such a relation-
ship.  I'm rather young.  But it seems to be based in fact.  Does anyone know
WHY the taboo got started in the first place??
