I'm wondering why I'm feeling attracted to older women, especially those around 45 and the "aunty" type, when it comes to dating and sex. Is this normal, or should I be concerned about these specific preferences?

It's normal to have specific preferences or attractions, including being drawn to older women. This could stem from personal experiences, emotional connections, or the perception of maturity and confidence. Exploring these feelings openly can help you better understand them; if it's causing confusion or distress, consider discussing it with a therapist or counselor.
