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 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?

Each to their own.

It isn't immoral but the attention seeking of always talking about it in the press makes her look a bit desperate.

What an over share. Just no need. Do it quietly and privately.

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

I agree. Talking amongst your female friends I could accept, announcing it publicly is tacky.
However, maybe it could reassure other women in their 60's that it's OK to sleep with as many men as they like. I do believe there is still a stigma attached to women who sleep around, but I doubt that's the reason she is talking so openly.

It's all very "I have sex" isn't it.

Or to put it another way, we don't know her boyfriends because they go to another school.

Good for her!

if I wasn’t married I’d probably do the same thing. It’s not immortal if everyone knows where they stand, why on earth would it be?

Agree. What consenting adults do in their own bedrooms is absolutely up to those involved.

Bragging publicly ‘ooh look at me I’m getting shagged by 5 different men’ is as tacky and classless as hell

Of course it's reasonable for a woman to have multiple sexual partners if all are in agreement.

I find her annoying
