Yeah. Liz Taylor had 7 (8?) husbands and she looked pretty haggard by the time she was finished with her last marriage. [/sarcasm]

Actually, I don’t mean to mock you, but I do disagree with you in a sense. Sexually promiscuous women do not look older but they do look jaded. Studies have shown that today’s middle-aged 45-year old woman, sexually active since 14, 50 or more partners, married at 37, one marriage and one child, has zero interest in sex anymore. In fact, they enjoy mocking their husbands’ loyalty and cloying love in spite of the fact that they’re not “getting any” anymore.

I think that sexually promiscuous women lose the joy of life, the joy of intimacy with men. It doesn’t necessarily age them.

Read Caitlin Flanagan’s “The Wifely Duty,” still available with a Google search for the author and Atlantic Monthly.

I respectfully disagree, I am 41 now, but even as a young man in my early 20’s most of the available girls my age already seemed “used up” or had to much baggage compared to their teen peers.

By 25 I had almost given up on meeting an acceptable wife from among those who were still available and weren't divorced, had a kid already, or looked used up.

Also by 25 I was feeling sort of weird about dating 18 and 19 year olds, but luckily just as I gave up finding a good one I found my dream girl, and have been happily married the last 16 years.
