[49] More theories about MILFs

The following week, I found myself back in the same lecture hall, feeling more settled in after that first whirlwind class. After having a good laugh about Freud with Vanessa, I was ready to see what other curveballs this professor was going to throw at us. Part of me hoped we'd move on to something a little less... personal, but something told me we weren't done with the topic of older women just yet.

The professor, who I now knew as Dr. Clarke, strolled into the room, his usual calm but authoritative presence filling the space. He didn't waste any time getting started.

"Alright, everyone," he said, setting his leather briefcase on the desk and adjusting his glasses. "Last week, we discussed Freud's Oedipus complex and the subconscious attraction young men might feel toward older women. Today, we're going to dive even deeper into why this particular dynamic—older women, or as the internet lovingly calls them, MILFs—is psychologically beneficial for young men."

I couldn't help but smirk at his use of the word "MILF." Hearing it come from a professor in his 60s was a little surreal, but this was Dr. Clarke. He had a way of making even the most bizarre topics seem academic.

The room was filled with a mixture of amusement and awkward tension, with students exchanging glances. A few people chuckled under their breath, and I had to bite back a laugh myself. Here we go again, I thought.

Dr. Clarke continued, his voice steady and serious, as if he were talking about something as mundane as cognitive development. "Now, as Freud laid the groundwork, the Oedipus complex suggests that young men are subconsciously attracted to older women because of their nurturing qualities. But modern psychology has expanded on this. Let's talk about a few more reasons why relationships between young men and older women—what some might call 'MILFs'—can actually be quite beneficial."

I leaned back in my seat, bracing for whatever was coming next.

"The first theory," Dr. Clarke began, pacing across the front of the room, "is about emotional stability. Young men, especially those in their early 20s, are often still figuring out who they are, what they want in life, and how to handle relationships. Older women, on the other hand, tend to be more emotionally mature. They've been through more of life's ups and downs, and they're typically less interested in the drama that can come with younger partners. This creates a stable, secure environment for young men, which allows them to grow without the chaos of a volatile relationship."

A few students were nodding along, and I couldn't help but think about Vanessa. There was definitely something to that. Vanessa had always been calm, collected, and grounded, especially compared to some of the younger women I'd dated in the past. With her, there were no mind games, no wild emotional swings. It was... steady. Solid. Exactly what Dr. Clarke was describing.

Dr. Clarke continued, a faint smile on his face as he delivered the next point. "Then there's the issue of confidence. Let's be honest—dating an older woman can be a major confidence booster for a young man. The knowledge that a woman with more life experience, more options, and a better understanding of herself chooses to be with you? That's empowering. It can give young men a sense of validation that, frankly, they might not get from relationships with younger women."

The class chuckled at that one, and I felt myself nodding again, though I didn't want to admit how true it was. Being with Vanessa had definitely made me feel more confident, even when I wasn't sure what the hell I was doing with my life. It was hard to deny that there was a kind of ego boost that came with being with someone like her—someone who could have anyone but chose me.

Dr. Clarke walked back to the front of the room and leaned against the desk, folding his arms across his chest. "Now, let's talk about experience—both in life and, well, sexually. Older women tend to know what they want, both in and out of the bedroom. For young men, this can be incredibly freeing. Instead of fumbling around, trying to figure out what works, they're with someone who already knows. This dynamic can lead to more fulfilling relationships, where communication and mutual satisfaction are prioritized."
