Actually Nightstriker, yes, i know what you mean. i think there is a slight propensity for people over the age, of say, 35 involved in BDSM...tho i have to say that in my experience, it sometime seems that there are more younger people in the Ds lifestyle in r/l and hence i think there's a higher number of older people online (only as a general trend). i have at times wondered if this is due to younger people having grown up in a more sexually liberal time and some older people being 'stuck' in relationships they are not satisfied with (in a Ds sense), the internet (chat rooms etc etc) therefore being something of an outlet.
It isn't something i have applied a huge amount of thought to though, as i generally get on more with people who are older than myself and rarely give people's age a second thought.
