It's weird how the biological versus society's way of thinking works. I mean naturally guys hit a sexual peak really early on 18-22 years old and from there they continue, but women hit it in their mid 30's. So wouldn't this make sense that there should be more of this type of relationship around? Or am I missing the point?

Yes and no, women's fertility also drops after 30 (some) and 40 (more) so there are some contradictory sexual urges going on biologically.

And socially our society has been set up in a way that encourages the opposite, the guy's older because he's been the provider and the woman's younger and the innocent.

So you're not wrong, there are just other things going on too. And 'cougar' is the new 'it' word. Well, it's not that new anymore but still.

Is it wrong? The age gap being so wide? Doesn't hobbies, interests, thought, experiences be different? Of course putting aside the sexual part, would they have nothing else to talk about? (I'm in this situation btw, among other flaws)

There's nothing 'wrong' about it. Experiences are usually pretty different in relationships for a lot of reasons, age, race, cultural background, socio-economic status, education, and gender. Some couples have the same hobbies some do totally different things, etc.

I sense that you're looking for some sort of universal rule here to tell you whether to stay or go in your relationship, or what to do in general, and though there's plenty of guidance out there from friends, professionals and random internet peeps alike, you're best to judge your relationship on its own merits.

Do you have things to talk about with your partner? If yes, then you answered your own question

Incorrect.

Stamina does not = peak. Just because you can bang someone 10 times a day doesn't mean you know what you're doing.

As far as women are concerned, this is total bullshit - many women were so uptight when they got married it took them forever to loosen up and admit they had sexual desires. That isn't the case in this day and age.

More women are more loose now and admit their sexual desires?

Enjoying sex =/= loose.

Cougars

Women outlive men in almost every country. That doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea for an older women to date a younger man but just statistics.
Something to consider when planning that next or first trip to the alter if you have a keeper. At the end of the day, a keeper is a keeper regardless of age gap and as long as you're both of legal age.

Cheers,
