33
At the age of thirty-seven she realised she'd
never Ride through Paris in a sports car
with the warm wind in her hair. So she let
the phone keep ringing and she sat there softly
singing Little nursery rhymes she'd
memorised in her daddy's easy chair. Her
husband, he's off to work and the kids are off to
school, And there are, oh, so many ways for
her to spend the day. She could clean the
house for hours or rearrange the flowers Or
run naked through the shady street screaming all
the way.
34
for all the beauty and freshness of younger
women, many still have fears. Fear drives them to
compete with each other and with the men in their
lives for power, control, love. When men admire
an older woman, they see somebody free of all
that. They see a friend, companion and a sexy
adventurer.

35
But if you will not take this Counsel, and
persist in thinking a Commerce with the Sex
inevitable, then I repeat my former Advice, that
in all your Amours you should prefer old Women to
young ones. You call this a Paradox, and demand
my Reasons. They are these 1. Because as they
have more Knowledge of the World and their Minds
are better stord with Observations, their
Conversation is more improving and more lastingly
agreable. 3. Because there is no hazard of
Children, which irregularly producd may be
attended with much Inconvenience. 4. Because
thro more Experience, they are more prudent and
discreet in conducting an Intrigue to prevent
Suspicion. The Commerce with them is therefore
safer with regard to your Reputation. And with
regard to theirs, if the Affair should happen to
be known, considerate People might be rather
inclind to excuse an old Woman who would kindly
take care of a young Man, form his Manners by her
good Counsels, and prevent his ruining his Health
and Fortune among mercenary Prostitutes. 5.
Because in every Animal that walks upright, the
Deficiency of the Fluids that fill the Muscles
appears first in the highest Part The Face first
grows lank and wrinkled then the Neck then the
Breast and Arms the lower Parts continuing to
the last as plump as ever So that covering all
above with a Basket, and regarding only what is
below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women
to know an old from a young one. And as in the
dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of corporal
Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal,
and frequently superior, every Knack being by
Practice capable of Improvement. 6. Because the
Sin is less. The debauching a Virgin may be her
Ruin, and make her for Life unhappy. 7. Because
the Compunction is less. The having made a young
Girl miserable may give you frequent bitter
Reflections none of which can attend the making
an old Woman happy. 8thly and Lastly They are so
grateful!!
