Yes.
Hookups can be from all kinds of people for all kinds of different reasons. Sometimes I just want someone young and energetic to have a mindless good time with. Sometimes I want an older person to treat me the same way.
My preference just comes from whoever can push the buttons that need to be pushed. Having a common background, like being similar age, can help to ease the process, but it's not needed.
Relationships though, probably someone my age or older who is mature, respectful, and open-minded. Anyone else and I know it's just going to end badly because that's how life works. It's silly to assume a young person will ever remain bogged down in a non-perfect relationship. The brain is practically hardwired to want to explore and see new things, especially as a young person.
Even if I had the perfect relationship with a younger person where they were constantly showing signs of deep commitment, I *know* it would go away eventually. You can't be a human and not wonder what life is like elsewhere, or if you're missing something. If you've only had the one relationship, respecting yourself will inevitably lead you to needing to find out if you're missing something.
Older people know what they want more. It's easier to maintain a steady relationship with an adult.

Simple reason is that it is not about age but what phase of life we're in.
If I'm in my early career phase and she's still in studying and partying that makes for an awkward relationship but a potentially extra fulfilling hookup or friends with benefits situation. Similarly if the age spins the other way around.
Basically a hookup is a vacation into a different phase of life but longterm I want to do my own journey and so need someone closer to where I am. Age is actually less relevant than that.00 Reply
881 opinions shared on Dating topic. for sex my age range is a lot bigger and i guess i kinda prefer older guys like people in their mid/late 20s to early 30s. the age difference and stuff kinda it makes it hotter and they're better in bed. could also go lower age wise than i'd date
for dating i only want to be with people really around my age, not really attracted like that to people more than 2-3 years older than me or 1-2 years younger

+1 yI have personally found that older guys are better for sex but despite a few cultural pop references, I can have a lot in common with them. They can be great for relationships too, it isn't about age it is about who they are.
I have no preference on the matter, I love who I love and age is just a number.

@Fuentes They often have self control and can hold it for hours, until they make a decision to let it go. Younger guys act like they have no control and it has a mind of its own and just goes.

After the age of 40, a natural fall in testosterone levels can lead to a loss of libido in men and an increase in the time needed to achieve an erection.
onlinedoctor.lloydspharmacy.com/.../does-sex-drive-decrease-with-age - +1 y
@Greenbins
Here are five changes to be ready for as you age:
It takes you longer to get an erection. This might start happening to men during their twenties. It might happen so gradually that it is not even noticed until they approach middle age. At some point, men discover that it takes more stimulation to get them hard. Once your testosterone levels diminish with age, fantasies, the sight of a sexy body, and even heated foreplay may not be enough. It might require a little more direct stimulation from your partner. Many older men can only get an erection from the vacuum effect of oral sex and the psychological aspects associated with that sexual act. Your erections are not always as rigid as a steel rod like they were during your teenage years. Sometimes they are only half-hard or semirigid until added stimulation hopefully brings them to full strength. This, too, is normal, but men often greet this phenomenon with panic, recalling the days when they seemed to spend half their time concealing their erections. It takes you more time to be ready to go again. It is a well-documented urologic fact that the amount of time it takes to recover after an ejaculation increases in proportion to a man’s age. When a man reaches his fifties and sixties, the refractory period might be as long as twenty-four hours, even with direct stimulation. At age eighty, it might be one week. The amount you ejaculate decreases. Just as the refractory period increases with age, the volume of the ejaculate decreases. Men also notice that the ejaculation itself feels less and less explosive as they age; the semen leaks out rather than being forcefully expelled. Orgasms might also feel less intense. It takes longer for you to reach orgasm.
These are all normal parts of the aging process. You should anticipate them and greet them without bitterness or alarm.

The average age difference (for a heterosexual couple) is 2.3 years, with the man older than the woman. In 64 percent of heterosexual couples, the man is older. In 23 percent, the woman is older, and in the remaining 13 percent, the partners are less than 12 months apart in age.

Empirical evidence has also accumulated in support of women's preferences for older men, and as you might expect, the data often overlap with those data supporting men's preferences. As this sample of Conroy-Beam and Buss's (2019) review suggests:
Cross-culturally, women report wanting partners who are (on average) 3.5 years older than them.
In online dating, women make the first contact with older men at a greater than rate they do younger men.
Marriage records show that women are marrying men who are older than they are by about 3 years.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that. But there are people who have sex for pure pleasure and because it feels great and turns them on and there's nothing wrong with that either. It's just a different view of how they view sex and what they want out of it. Waiting till marriage for them is missing out on years of fun and pleasure. Again, just two different views and neither one is wrong.
