'Cougar women' 7 Oct 2009
Do they really exist or are they a media creation?

There’s a new TV series in the US 'Cougar Town' starring Courteney Cox, which follows the rise of the 'Cougar woman'. It's a term used to describe an older woman who uses the same predatory sexual techniques as men, focussing on members of the opposite sex who are much younger. Jenni is joined by Relationships Psychologist, Susan Quilliam and Julia McMillan, Founder and CEO of the dating website, Toyboywarehouse.com to discuss whether this term is simply a male fantasy, or represents a genuine shift in relationships and dating behaviour.
