As a 53-year-old there was naturally one headline that caught my attention this week – “The age when we feel at our sexiest is revealed as 53.”
I’d had a heads up on the story before it was dissected everywhere from the Daily Mail to Women’s Hour. A fellow fiftysomething mate of mine had emailed the press release, prefacing it with: “Well this has filled me with mirth!”
I scanned the story for the evidence of our new-found allure – squinting slightly at the small print through the multifocal contact lenses I’m currently trialling. And there’s no doubt this 53-year-old has been feeling pretty hot in the bedroom lately. There’s nothing like a 3.00am flush to get you naked and thrashing.
