Study Reveals Cougars Are Ready to Pounce

Don't worry, she won't tear your face off. Unless, of course, that's what you're in to.

60 percent of women between the ages of 45 and 80 were sexually active in the preceding three months, according to a survey conducted by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco.

What about the other forty percent who weren't getting any nookie? No parter, a partner with plumbing problems or a partner with no interest -- in that order -- were cited by the majority of respondents.

Only nine percent found themselves unintentionally chaste due to health complications or a lack of motivation.

So for you game hunters out there, now you know -- the rock n' roll generation seems happy to keep the party going straight through their golden years.

You just have to be able to keep up.

Jackson West is just glad Viagra will be there when he needs it.
