My midlife sex romp made media waves and shows that Britain is still ageist
Evening Standard|September 20, 2023
MOTHERHOOD, career, M money, debt, drugs, miscarriage, abortion, rape, frequenting gay clubs in the hope of meeting "the one", I've written a book about womanhood in all its messy, chaotic glory.
My midlife sex romp made media waves and shows that Britain is still ageist

Spending several months writing my first (and last) no-holds-barred memoir in bed, it's jam-packed with brilliant advice, even if I do say so myself. There's Dolly Alderton on friendship, Anita Bhagwandas on beauty, Julia Samuel on grief, Sam Baker on starting again... and all anyone wants to interview me about is my clitoris.

Divorced, at the grand old age of 49, I'm now in perimenopause and three years ago I started taking HRT. Unrelated, but around the same age, I found a therapist to deal with childhood trauma. Perhaps not so unrelated, around this time my libido increased.

Scientific evidence suggests the perimenopause can sometimes increase a woman's libido. So, pair that with a clearer mind, and it's safe to say I'm enjoying the best sex of my life.

Thanks to being older, I also possess zero body shame and on my 46th birthday metaphorically burned all long floral dresses in my wardrobe to make room for sexier tailoring. So yes, I'm a middle-aged woman with a penchant for miniskirts having a lot of sex with hold the front page, lads - a lover 13 years my junior.
