In general, presumably older men and women are more experienced, and in some cultures, it's actually considered desirable for the older ones to "break in"the younger one. If it's an older man and a younger women, the older man is presumably less hasty, can take his time, and isn't obsessed with sex alone - theoretically - i.e., he can mentor in other capacities, and impart the skill she need to get and hold a man, handle more aggressive men, etc. Similarly, when it comes to older women who tend to have higher sex drives, are used to handling the more athletic aspects of sex, physically and emotionally, while younger men tend to have libidos to match, and are often sorely in need in instructions on how to act like gentlemen - - though not necessarily in the bedroom. Again, all theoretical, I've heard younger subs complain that older doms are less sociable and considerate, while I've been told by Vanilla women that they prefer older men because they are more sociable and considerate, i.e., take them to dinner, have better stories, not as grabby, etc. i.e., experience counts, not just in kink, or D/s, but life in general. And, in that respect, when it comes to "old" attitudes, it really depends on the person - it's difficult to say anymore exactly what a "traditional" attitude is - consider that the average 50 something woman was a teenager at the height of the sexual revolution and might well be pretty laid back, whereas somebody who came of age in the Eighties might be more conservative, you just have to get to know the person. I don't have that much experience with the converse, but had any older women been around to socialize me in my younger years, I doubt I would have objected, and it might have saved me some trail and error. The caveat, and this is mentioned by Irene Claremont de Castillejo, a Jungian analyst in Knowing Woman, a book I recommend, is that these sorts of relationships by nature tend to be mentoring relationships and ultimately, most end up looking for someone closer to their own age with whom to form long term dyads.
