Nonetheless, let me pose you this question: do you honestly think that a 50-year-old man will find someone (a real person) in his age group more attractive than, say, an 18-year-old girl? Or are old people not supposed to have sexual desires? [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/tongue.gif[/img]BTW, the poll was created as a topic in an H-manga forum. Thus, at least theoretically, all respondents were 18 or over. The site is also fairly well moderated (considering it's a discussion board for a site that has set aside forums specifically for distributing pirated software).
Eh, it was more along the lines of my addressing others who'd already strayed from the fantasy portion of this topic.
As to the other part of your question: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In short, it depends on the attitude and viewpoint of the 50-year old man.
To quote Queen: "Crazy little thing called love."
A 50-year old man can easily find his 50-year old wife to the most beautiful woman alive, the sexiest woman alive.
Or he could ditch her and run off with an 18-year old gal.
I know a lot of women who are 40+ who are far sexier than a lot of 18-year old girls...of course I know a lot of 18-year old girls who are sexier and more attractive than 40+ year old women.
As to the fantasy aspect, I still prefer the more mature women. Women generally don't hit their sexual prime until their 30s. The seiyuu who portray older women in anime & H-Games seem to do so convincingly, (there are exceptions, of course).
To quote Van Halen: "I'm hot for teacher!"
Now, I was also hot for gals my own age back in my high school days, college days, and so on, and so I'm certainly not limited in my attraction.
When I said 18-50, I meant it, although there are 18-year olds and 50-year olds (and all ages in between)I wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole.
Let me put it this way: To me the sexiest of the gals in "Inuyasha" is Kikyo.
