*In those few words, Gary sums up how most middle-aged men feel about sex - they can't be bothered. The reason? They fear losing control, looking a bit stupid, pleasing a woman rather than themselves and forgetting what their hair/stomach/hairy buttocks or big feet look like. And they worry that they might have a small willy.

So Gary is speaking for 90 per cent of men aged between 30 and their deathbeds, when he makes the simple act of shagging sound like a minefield, an activity you can only fail at. How sad.*
err cant they refuse sex for what ever reason they like without feeling any bit of guilt

YABU to read the DM.

YABU to read the DM. ill read what i like ok

If you liked it, you wouldn’t be here moaning about it.

It’s a terrible paper and you shouldn’t be directing traffic to it by posting the link.

Thank you DollyDaydream114 and OP - don't help to spread the crap the DM publishes, please.

I am not the "owner" of MN.

I am a regular poster on MN and I have every right to object to the content of your post.

You can post whatever you like, OP. And share a link if you want to by all means. I've clicked the link for the sake of it to increase traffic, I'll have a proper read of it when I get home.

The DM spreads nothing but hate and lies. Why would you take anything it publishes seriously?

I think all of us arguing about the validity of DM articles is increasing traffic to this thread very successfully.

YANBU. Nobody should feel bad about saying no.

Agreed. DM are garbage. That's like saying "I disagree that franko has a tiny willy - I read it from graffiti on a bus stop"
It's non news, and spouts shite.

OP is coming across very well as a DM reader.

Has OP flounced yet?

OP does strike me as an anti Linear, faux outrage/real froth type.
Yabu to take ANYTHING the DM writes at face value.

Has OP flounced yet?

no but your post

didnt make any sense you were the one that started the argument

I clicked the link, I admit it . Even worse I read the article. Janet accuses lineker of being a normal boring guy who isn’t that remarkable and hasn’t achieved anything groundbreaking. Made me laugh as she has made a career out of being a waspish boringly predictable journo.

Pot, kettle, black.

Oh and men can not fancy sex just as much as anyone else. Entirely personal choice.

I love the DM. Post what you like OP.

OP - just because I disagree with your posting links to DM articles isn't a reason to report the thread to MNHQ.

I was simply stating an opinion.

Well that escalated and went totally off track very quickly

Is your back button broken?

Impressive, this has turned into a proper bunfight and we're only on page 1. I'm making myself comfortable.

I get the impression she doesn't like Gary Lineker.

AIBU to find this dm article creepy

No. Imagine an elderly man complaining that a younger, attractive woman doesn't want sex- then generalising that all women over 30 are lazy because they aren't up for it enough.

She then goes on to assert that he is controlling for having boundaries. Next it's that being a TV host is easy.

Next apparently older men are obsessed with 'weird sex' because Frank Skinner did a bit on it once. It seems she found a jokey tweet Lineker wrote in the middle of the article to support this theory and forgot her earlier attacks on him. The bastard is also apparently in favour of green policies and not sufficiently anti immigration.

That is one fucking weird, creepy, obsessive article.

Blimey, all this argument about the DM makes me want to read the article - which I will do right now.

I've read it. I like Janet Street-Porter, don't dislike Gary Lineker though always felt he was a bit too good to be true.

Football is a religion to a lot of men, they think of little else. So it doesn't surprise me that GL rates scoring goals on the football pitch higher than sex. He's had some failed relationships so not surprising really. He's grown up now.

(Mind you he hasn't met me, he might have a change of heart if he did )
