I’m going to have to fight **tumbledown** for Redford. But he won’t be 73 until August. Did you know that he remarried last July? I would have done Newman until his last day and he was in his 80s. > [@](#): > > **Erdosain** : I wonder, is hot steamy sex ok when a woman has Osteoporosis? My doctor says 3 times a day and at bedtime. This thread has made my day! I don’t feel like I’m quite so ancient. Zoe, age 66 and a half. ---

The _first_ one to come to mind was \*Jane Seymour \*who is a full decade older than I am. But there are probably others I haven’t thought of yet. ---

Edit: Their ages, that is. Not that people are attracted to them. I’m going with Pierce Brosnan, 55. He’s hot, and is old enough to be my father. ---

Oh, and I’d totally bone Rich Lowry, but at age 40, I wouldn’t say he’s out of my age range for boning. Yes, I would fuck his tighty-righty little brains out. ---

I’m 35 & I’d bang Raquel Welch like a screen door in a hurricane. There are others that are significantly older than me who would meet the same fate, but the Lovely Raquel is the oldest. ---

I’m 24 for the record - back on page 1, I picked Susan Surrandon (63) and Deforest Kelley circa Star Trek 2 (62). If Dee is cheating, since I’m going back in time, I pick Hugh Laurie (50) as my man-choice. ---

> [@Erdosain](#): > > Jean Chatzky, 45 I’ve encountered Ms. Chatzky around New York, and she is as delicious looking IRL as on the tube. Maybe more so. Once she was in a yellow raincoat and strap sandals, and I have to say, she had some of the prettiest feet I have ever seen. ---

Robert Plant. 61 years old. Grizzled, yes, but you can still see that certain… something. And another vote for Harrison Ford. As for you blokes… you mean Helen Mirren isn’t the automatic default setting for this question? ---

> [@Maiira](#): > > David Duchovny (49) > Patrick Stewart (69) Repeating to mention my own age: 22 Also, I can’t believe I forgot Harrison Ford. Actually, I think he was hotter when he was younger, so maybe that doesn’t count so much. Also, Anderson Cooper’s pretty smokin’, but he’s only 42. Still old enough to be my father, though, so I guess it still counts. ---

No one ever gets my Christopher Walken crush, and I don’t find that too odd. But how can you not understand the appeal of David Bowie?
