AIBU to think this article has been made up? “Laila” sounds like a fantasy…

[GreenwichPips]

Just saw this article on the Guardian website: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/jun/15/this-is-how-we-do-it-i-prefer-sex-with-someone-who-has-erectile-dysfunction

Does “Laila” really prefer sex with a man who has erectile dysfunction and does she have a preference for “older, plump men (with a 42in waist”?

Perhaps this woman exists but the further I read, the less I believed it…

It sounds as though “Laila” has a very troubled relationship with sex and little idea of what a healthy relationship looks like. I don’t think I’ve ever read one of these Grauniad sex/relationship pieces where one or both halves of the couple involved didn’t, tbh.

She sounds like someone with a lot of trauma who is now in a really dysfunctional relationship.

I read it yesterday and thought the whole thing was made up, which is what I think every week. I mean why would you contact the Guardian and tell them all this stuff about your sex life? I bet they have a good laugh writing these things but they've taken it a bit beyond the outer limits of belief this week.

Ha, I posted this last night in Feminism. She's basically still in an abusive relationship, poor soul. I said I hoped young women don't think this is all that they deserve.

Misogynist made-up crap in the Guardian?!?!?! Well stone the crows.

I’m not sure I believe a word of that. It’s actually almost funny. If it is true, it’s quite sad.

Ah bless the Guardian is now printing the older man’s man’s fantasy stories

This is one of the Guardian's latest attempts to modernise isn't it? A little stimulation reading about other people's sex lives over breakfast. I've got a subscription to the Guardian because it's the last defence in the culture wars and it feels like I should help maintain it but It's frequently a bloody irritating read. Good crosswords though.

It was probably written by a plump older man with erectile dysfunction, who wants to convince ladies that this is what other women like! 🤣🤣
I don’t think that most women are into guys like this!
