Carol Vorderman has culled her lovers from five down to three.

[[https://www.dailystar.co.uk/showbiz/carol-vorderman-makes-burnout-admission-36116752 Carol Vorderman ]]has had to slash the number of lovers she has down from five to three, admitting: “Times are hard.” She now only has a trio of three long-term “special” male friends on the go after previously enjoying the attention of five. The [[https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/emma-louise-jones-see-through-36093930 maths whiz]] has always been open about loving her friends with benefits. So... Is it reasonable for a woman of a certain age to have multiple lovers....not to mention the energy. Is it unreasonable, immoral, and just plain tacky?

I think she is slutty and tacky, and yes, I would think the same of a man if he was elderly and bragging about his many sexual partners, it's pretty gross either way...in my opinion.

The saving grace in her constant repetition of how many men she has on the go is that she may encourage other elderly women who have written themselves off sexually, that age need not curtail a good sex life.
Though Mirriam Stoppard new book, 'Sex, Drugs and Walking Sticks: A Guide to Living Your Best Life in Your 60s, 70s, 80s and Beyond,' is probably far more educational and far less self-promoting.

Good for her having lovers, but I do wonder what’s behind the need to be perceived as sexy by the public when you’ve had that much life experience. I always notice it in her body language on quiz shows. She reminds me of me when I was 20 ish and thought my worth was defined by being attractive to men.

How can her own choice about her own life and body be “unreasonable “?

Not unreasonable.,....but unreasonable if she advertises it

Good for her. She's not hurting anyone, unless she's in to that too.

Another thread made me consider the fwb issue and I think the only time they are OK for various reasons is for older people.
People who are mature with grown-up children (or past child-bearing age), whose hormones have calmed down, no longer in, 'must find a mate mode' etc.
People are hopefully more able to express their needs clearly.

What I can't stand is when women waste their time in fwb arrangements when young.

Not every young woman wants a long term partner or children though. For those women, having FWBs is therefore not a waste. I never considered mine a waste of my time, on the contrary I’ve generally had a great time with them!

Carol was on TV tonight, her face seems have morphed into an older version of Jesy Nelson, the ex Little Mix member.

Her choice, but I kind of hope it isn't true. Having a harem of men on call might be good as a fantasy, but in real life I'd be worried about STIs.

I think it probably is true, she has certainly said it often enough.

I didn't see it, but our heroine was on one of those Channel 5 afternoon programmes today. One of the discussion topics was, "is it OK to have multiple lovers?"

I think we all know where Carol's views lie....she has told us often enough.😀

Hmmmm......I'm not sure it's to do with jealousy. Let's face it, most men are more sexually driven that most women (generally speaking) so it wouldn't be hard for any of us to have the opportunity to shag around.....and like one poster said, they regard both men AND women as cheap and slutty when they sleep around.

For me personally, I just don't (and have never felt the need) to shag around as I wouldn't have stayed in a relationship if it wasn't fulfilling in that way. I was with the same person from the age of 18 to 31 (and up to the age of 31 had never slept with any one else). However I don't feel I missed out sexuallly AT ALL as we had fantastic sexual chemistry. It didn't occur to me to shag around as I just didn't feel the need to look elsewhere. Plus I was SA'd when I was young, so I absolutely needed/need to be with someone who I felt/feels loves, cherishes and respects me. I couldn't be so blase about 'giving myself away' like that. That's not to say that I judge others....it's just not me and doesn't sit right with me at all. I'm a serial monogomist lol
Sadly, that relationship ended up being more and more emotionally abusive, but the sex was always great and the glue that held us together (along with a big dollop of traumatic bonding) - and probably why I stayed far, far longer than I should have......

Not because she’s against the bragging part. It was the saying she thinks it’s cheap and slutty to shag around. Basically women aren’t allowed to enjoy themselves without being judged negatively by some. Women putting other women down yet again, it all comes to down to deep seated resentment, jealousy and competition.

She can do what she wants, but culling is perhaps a little harsh.

One definition of Culling..."To select desirable parts from a group or list"

That sounds exactly like what she has done.

I completely agee @NovemberMorn Shagging multiple people at the same time is nothing to be proud of, and it doesn't make you better than people who ... GASP ... choose to just have sex with one person!

And why talk about it in public? I don't dislike Carol, but I dislike this side of her ...

Show quote history

I don't dislike her either, I always thought she seemed like the sort of woman who would be great fun on a night out, plus she obviously doesn't give a damn about what people think of her...(and that's obvious in the way she has often talked about sleeping around)
Though, she does state that she doesn't do 'one night stands'...so that's something at least. 😄

And a person who hides behind a keyboard, has nothing worthwhile to add, calls others nasty, childish names then scurries off like a little coward ... shows exactly what sort of person they are too.

It's obvious (by this thread) that some women think it's fine she sleeps around, others don't. Some think her bahaviour is fine, but to publicly talk about it is tacky. I happen to think that behaviour, whether it be a man or woman, is cheap, and to brag about it, cheap and slutty.
The fact that she is an older women....makes it morso, she should have learned to have a bit of decorum and class at the age of 65.

She is giving interviews to be noticed, so no one should complain because people here have noticed and commented.

That's my opinion, and it's also my opinion that the Carol supporters would think entirely different if an elderly man in the public eye gave several interviews bragging about all the different women he was having sex with.

Some will deny it, probably the same women who would banish a man from the home if he so much as farted.😕

Having them is fine.
Talking about them in public is oh so very tacky!

I suppose she needs some way of keeping up her public profile.
