How sexy changes with age
March may be cold, but it's hot and heavy here at OnMilwaukee.com as we celebrate our first-ever Sex Week. We're taking a mature look at local video and sex toy shops, area strip clubs, sexy Milwaukee events -- and even some connections between Brew City and Playboy magazine. It's serious, responsible, adult-themed content -- but don't worry, parents, we'll keep it PG-13 in case junior stumbles upon these stories as OnMilwaukee.com turns a pale shade of blue for seven days.
As a teenager, I remember finding people sexy based solely on their appearance. If they had the right clothing and the right look, they topped the list of attractive people in my book.
A s I got older, other qualities, like intelligence and sense of humor, became equally as important in the attraction equation.
Now, in my 30s, a lot of the people I find sexy are even less conventionally hot. To me, confidence is the sexiest quality of all, followed by realistic optimism – not too optimistic, but not too jaded, either.
I also find men who are great fathers to be quite sexy, particularly proud guys wearing their babies in baby carriers. Oh, don’t even get me started on the sexy dad topic …
Now I wonder what I’ll find sexy as I get older. I remember my husband’s grandma being interested in a particular gentleman because he was one of the last men she knew who could still legally drive.
What do you find sexy?

Someone who is not shallow or full of themselves. I alwas thought that would be the easier score, but now in my thirties, I realize a conversations is core. I could care less if the person hits the treadmill twice a day for an hour each time. Moms with a god job and is hands on with their kids is sort of sexy. But not one who dumps their kids with someone else all the time.

I definitely agree. There are many more factors as you mature and it goes both ways. There are physically attractive men I have only platonic interest in...but likewise I have men approach me now unlike I ever had 10 years ago. I think it's being comfortable with yourself and enjoying life.

Does fashion have to change in middle age?
Published May 19, 2013
Just because a woman turns 35 or 38 or 40 doesn't mean her wardrobe has to become a wasteland of frump and "mom jeans." Especially these days, when 40 is supposedly the new 30. But are there fashion dos and don'ts for middle-aged women?

What's with H&M's sizing?
