Author Virginia Hoefler has released a groundbreaking new book sharing the experiences of a single woman over 50 seeking companionship, yet finding it only in younger men.
The book, titled “Erotic Excerpts from the Intimate Diary of a Mature Woman,” seeks to overcome the social stigma associated with so-called “cougars,” partly by drawing on Hoefler’s own experiences and relationships. The plot follows a woman over 50 who, after divorcing her husband, finds companionship in the younger men who befriend her. It also describes the sexual encounters that follow.
“Women reach a certain age and experience when they know what they want—and know how to enjoy themselves,” said Hoefler. “The problem is that there are not many available men on the market who fit that profile. What’s worse, these women may feel that they are expected to give up their desires because they’re supposed to be ‘too old’ engage in these types of activities. They are left behind because they are expected to have an ‘off’ switch that doesn’t actually exist.”
At 64 years old, Hoefler is a grandmother who has been married and divorced five times, with three of these relationships being with younger men. She currently lives in Milwaukee, Wis., and wrote the book shortly after being laid off from her job and finding herself with excess spare time and no relationship.
