I never looked at it that way Refrye, but I can definitely see your point. I just assumed (makes and A** out of me and you) that they didn't want to proliferate with any older woman, but would be willing to do so with someone nearer their own age. You are right, to have a relationship with an older woman means something deeper than physical sex. It is sex of the mind. I liked what you said about birth defects. I was married and had one "normal" child and then at 30 got pregnant with my daughter who was born with down syndrome. Age does increase these risks even though it can happen at any age, really.
