... this is related to the "MILF" Genre which had a major boom in the early 2000's....

Disagree, I thought that was a simply a recognition of a lot of women with a couple kids were very attractive.

Which seems like a good thing not a bad thing.

I disagree with your disagreement, i'm pretty sure that when a younger guy is attracted to older women in a lot of cases it could be a sign of having an Oedipus complex at least that's what i think , i couldn't find any research on that topic though. And a lot of young guys like "MILFS" i included, but i don't really know why tbh.
It's definitely not just "a simpl[e] recognition [that] a lot of women with a couple kids were very attractive" imho , why would your subconscious procreation instinct prefer an older less likely to bear healthy children woman instead of a young one ? Pretty interesting topic all in all i think
.....

I won't disagree with this being possibly an unhealthy fixation in an individual male. However you are simply incorrect if asserting that a younger guy attracted to older women would be indicative of mental health issues, a priori. Consider, what is the issue? Is it an 18 attracted to 28? 18 to 38? 18 to 58? 38 to 48? Clearly for 18 to 28, the "older woman" could have 3 kids and be very attractive. Etc, etc.

My comment was more social and cultural. Here is a phrase. "MILF." How did it drift into language? How did it start to be used, and continue to be used? Is it a pejorative term? (I find the term sort of humorous somehow...)

While I addressed the use of the word and the understanding of it by most people, obviously it's a different matter for the rare individual afflicted with a sexual addiction.

An oedipus complex isn't a mental health issue it's just a concept of psychoanalytic theory by Freud, i didn't say that a young male being attracted to older women or vice versa is unhealthy, just that it doesn't really make evolutionary sense because of the lower fertility rate in older women.
The Term "MILF" started with the movie American Pie as far as i know it's humorous like you've said and spread by Word-of-Mouth i guess, i think the woman in the movie was in her mid 40's the woman doesn't necesarilly has to have given birth to be considered a "MILF" just an attractive older woman. ( This whole thread is kind of bizarre in my opinion with all those hardliner opinions about wanting to ban porn and nonscientific statistics about porn addiction, and it's also the first time that i've ever argued about porn weirdly amusing)
