From the perspective of an old man, as well as a relatively educated individual, young women are attractive to the vast majority of males because that is an evolutionary trait beneficial for survival of the species. Even though I’ve read that there may be some genetic degeneration in men, as well as more sexual dysfunction and lower sperm count, older women are more likely to have problems with procreation, since they are subject to the same deterioration and they are carrying the fetus for such a lengthy period; and that period is arguably the most important in the future viability of the life-form. So, an affinity for young women by men of all ages is “normal” in an evolutionary sense.Old women may or may not be attractive based on physical, emotional, and intellectual traits, to differing degrees in different males; however, they are at a distinct disadvantage if there are young women available. Old, in our society, sex notwithstanding, tends to equate to overweight, unhealthy, dogmatic, arrogant, pontifical, and physically dissipated.Before being disparaged for misogyny (but feel free, won’t hurt my feelings), being a short male (discriminated against by everyone, as empirically established), the above is not judgmental, merely an attempt to see without distortion.Edit: I should add that it seems equally evolutionarily evident that older males who have acquired scarce resources should spend those resources on young women who would otherwise not be interested. Moreover, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs lists sex as a basic need, and age may lessen the need but that doesn’t mean it disappears.Chimpanzees share more than 98% of the same genes with humans, and the current theory indicates that apes and humans are different branches originating from a common ancestor; which indicates our frequent display of what can be described as “animalistic behavior.” (Mason, P. (2014). Understanding the brain: The neurobiology of everyday life. The University of Chicago. https://class.coursera.org/neurobio-001). We now possess brains evolved to the level of hunter-gatherers (technological evolution has been more rapid that our biological evolution), we seek reproductive partners based primarily on genetic predisposition. Physical appearance (e.g., apparent health, facial symmetry, and body shape) provide clues to an individual’s reproductive potential and their ability to support and protect offspring.Some neuropsychological theorists indicate that the bipedalism of human ancestors decreased survivability by making human predecessors less capable of escaping predators; but, may have enhanced survivability through freeing the hands to invent and innovate, and do things like collecting food to exchange for sex. Also, evolutionary psychology may argue that natural selection has genetically programmed us to seek more than one sexual partner to ensure a diversity of traits and production of additional offspring, both of which facilitate survival of the species; even though this doesn’t play into our logical thought processes, our instincts lead us in that direction (see: “Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain,” by Dr. David Eagleman, who directs the Laboratory for Perception and Action and the Initiative on Neuroscience and Law, Baylor College of Medicine, for insight into subconscious motivation).Chimpanzees and other primates purposely deceive to get food or sex -- or to avoid punishment. In one famous example, Koko, an internationally known gorilla who uses sign language, pulled a sink from a wall and broke it. When asked how it happened, she blamed it on her new friend -- a tiny kitten named Kate.http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/rm-quiz-why-you-lie?ecd=wnl_spr_101116&ctr=wnl-spr-101116_nsl-ld-stry_1&mb=IQSThaevOpfgCbFLiXDZ9WdEpmNqbUHLbosVGLYBNFs%3d

It can be viewed on three levels, or a combination of all three (which is probable). One, an unethical and misogynistic attitude on the part of a rich and powerful male who could have a significant impact on the life of a young female, and they use that power to coerce intimacy. Two, an evolutionary psychological adaptation wherein young females subconsciously and/or consciously seek powerful males for mating and/or survival advantages. Or three, an evolutionary psychological adaptation wherein a rich and powerful male consciously and/or subconsciously seeks young, attractive and/or fertile women for procreation and/or recreation.Some neuropsychological theorists indicate that the bipedalism of human ancestors decreased survivability by making human predecessors less capable of escaping predators; but, may have enhanced survivability through freeing the hands to invent and innovate, and do things like collecting food to exchange for sex. Also, evolutionary psychology may argue that natural selection has genetically programmed us to seek more than one sexual partner to ensure a diversity of traits and production of additional offspring, both of which facilitate survival of the species; even though this doesn’t play into our logical thought processes, our instincts lead us in that direction (see: “Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain,” by Dr. David Eagleman, who directed the Laboratory for Perception and Action and the Initiative on Neuroscience and Law, Baylor College of Medicine, and is now associated with Stanford University).

Some do it due to unfulfilled needs. And, presumably, anyone would feel uncomfortable doing most things for the first time (particularly if they risk STDs, hugger muggery [robbed by Ho or pimp], arrest, etc.).Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs“Maslow wanted to understand what motivates people. He believed that individuals possess a set of motivation systems unrelated to rewards or unconscious desires.Maslow (1943) stated that people are motivated to achieve certain needs. When one need is fulfilled a person seeks to fulifil the next one, and so on. …Biological and Physiological needs - air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep, etc.”And, even at the peak of self-actualization one will be “Capable of deep appreciation of basic life-experience.” For me, that includes sex.Mcleod, S. A. (2007). Simply Psychology - Articles for Students. Retrieved from: http://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.htmlEdit: Our genetic make-up has apparently varied little since the time prior to the early hunter/gatherer era. For example, our DNA has been found to be more than 98% identical to that of chimpanzees. Some neuropsychological theorists indicate that the bipedalism of human ancestors decreased survivability by making human predecessors less capable of escaping predators; but, may have enhanced survivability through freeing the hands to invent and innovate, and do things like collecting food to exchange for sex.
