A woman posts in a sex-positive Facebook group asking about a pussy pump and gets a patronizing response from the admin praising her age and sexual interest. She argues the comment reflects ageist stereotypes that deny older women sexual agency, and wonders if a younger woman would have been treated the same way.

Yesterday I was on a Facebook group asking some of the women in this sex-positive community that I'm a part of about the Pussy Pump, just to make sure that it was safe and just to find out if anybody else had had any experience with it. And the response from actually the person that was the administrator of the group was, firstly, God, it's so great to see that a woman of your age is still interested in experimenting and trying out these different forms of toys and interested in sexual pleasure. And fuck, that pissed me off because I thought, who are you to tell me that I shouldn't still be interested in sex and sexual pleasure? What is it about my age that needs commenting on? If I was a 23 or 25 or a 30-year-old woman and I was asking a question about this pussy pump that I bought, would the response have been the same? Probably not, and I suspect it was all about my age, and that just really, really fucked me off.
