MILFs, Cougars, and Game of Thrones

So, I like older women.



Not this old. 

Now it's a funny thing when you look at terms like MILF and cougar, because they can apply to such a broad spectrum of people. Technically, anyone who has a child, and with whom you want to bump uglies, is a MILF. Cougars run a range of ages that seems to vary depending on the age of the explainer. For example, I am 30. I'm not looking at other 30 year olds as "older women." We're looking into the 40s, here. Yet 18-year-old me would have seen a 30 year old as "finely aged," and he would have been all over that shit. Not that I wouldn't fuck a 30 year old now, because I would. But given the choice between throwing down with a woman my own age or one with a few more miles, it's likely I'd skew older. It's by no means the deciding factor, but generally, I don't get down on the super-youthful soft look (with all apologies to my good friend Dave).

It's interesting to browse porn offerings that fall under the "MILF" heading, because nowehre is the diversity of what qualifies under that heading more apparent than in the world of adult film. Basically, anyone can be a MILF in the right lighting. I've seen the same girls doing MILF scenes and "teen" scenes at the same point in time. I've tried to narrow it down, and I think that to be a porn MILF, you have to:
  1. not look like a teenager;
  2. that's it.
It's not even limited to women with a few wrinkles, or an "augmented" frame (which, in the fine tradition of Stifler's Mom, is classic cougar styling). It's just basically anyone who doesn't moonlight in the "fucking the babysitter" side of things, usually with a younger dude. And you know what's crazy? It sells. If you're not the type of person who shies away from adult bookstores (nothing wrong with that; to each their own), head into one and check the amount of MILF and cougar themed titles for sale. A lot of stores have whole sections devoted to it, because it sells, despite no real common thread in the product. I guess that says a lot for the brain being the most rockingest sex organ. The idea, the fantasy, of the older woman is moving product.

Oh, I also mentioned Game of Thrones. So I just caught Sunday's episode, because I watch shit on my own time. First off, you need to be watching this if you aren't, because it is fantastic. You also need to read the books, if you're a reader. Anyway, the show tonight came to mind because at one point, it occured to me that we were basically watching a very long, well-produced porno. I mean, Theon Greyjoy fucking switched positions in one scene. I half expected one of the Ironmen to come down below and join him in a devil's three-way. Then they cut to another sex scene. This show has always been a fan of the nudity and the intimacy, but damn.

Also, with regards to deviation from the books: yeah, there was a ton, and I did see some complaints. I thought it was fine. The important stuff was there. Shireen isn't a major player. Jacelyn Bywater isn't a major player. Jaquen H'ghar's hairstyle is of little concern to me, as long as they nail his character and pattern of speech, which they did. I thought that, regardless of the changes from the books and the copious amounts of sex (and OH MY GOD, that Theon/Asha scene was creepy), it was once again superbly written and acted, and I enjoyed it immensely.

I'll leave you with a question for the comments section: which character in Game of Thrones would you most want to bang? And, which would you most like to have dinner with? For me the answer is the same for both: Grand Maester Pycelle.
