"There is nothing sexier than a person who owns their desires and isn't afraid to express them. Confidence is the ultimate aphrodisiac and is incredibly alluring. I also enjoy intellectual stimulation, sensual touches, emotional intimacy and passionate kisses."

So said Addyson James, a 44-year-old cougar who lives in sunny Arizona. Addyson grew up on a dairy farm in Vermont. She was a cheerleader in high school and ran cross-country. She enjoys hanging out with her dog, working out and trying new restaurants.

"I was an aesthetician and laser technician for 20-plus years," she said. "Prior to that, I served in the U.S. Navy for five years. I served during 9-11."

Thank you for your service, Addyson.

And now, thank you for your hot body.

40Something: Do you masturbate often?

Addyson: Yes. Masturbation is not just a private indulgence. It's an art form. I revel in the pleasure of my own touch, exploring every curved and sensitive spot with the expertise that only comes from knowing my body intimately. I believe that self-pleasure is a celebration of sexuality. Masturbation is a way for me to connect with my desires on the deepest level. I embrace it fully and unapologetically.

40Something: What sexually satisfies you the best?

Addyson: Ultimately, what satisfies me is the freedom to express my desires without inhibition and to share my journey of sexual discovery with an audience that appreciates and celebrates my passion for pleasure. Whether I'm indulging in a solo session, exploring the dynamic of a threesome or reveling in the power of a BBC, it's the authenticity and intensity of the experience that leaves me feeling utterly fulfilled.
