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

[NovemberMorn]

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?

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

Wss^

This.

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

I find her annoying

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

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?

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.

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.

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

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

Each to their own.

What does being 'of a certain age' have to do with it?

Are you implying you think it's tacky but it would be less so if she was younger?

If not, I'm not sure what you're saying?

Tbh I think there's a stigma attached to anyone who sleeps around, male of female largely because of STD risk.

Nothing wrong with lots of consensual sex. Telling everyone about it so publicly is very, very tacky whether you are male or female.

Edit: I've just read the article and no where can I see it mentions FWBs.
Also poor Carol has been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, hence the stepping back news so she has much utmost sympathy.

This! ( but also… how does she have the energy?)

Most women 'of a certain age', have learned to hold their own council.

Yes, I do think it's tacky, especially for a woman her age to be bragging...because that's how it comes across to me.

Why is everyone assuming it's the truth? She's in showbiz, press is money and telling tall tales to stay relevant is part of the job.

It’s all a bit Jay from The Inbetweeners, I’m not sure I believe it tbh.

Nope.

You mentioned nothing at all about bragging in your OP...

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?

And where does she find them because as a woman of a similar age, the pickings out there are very very slim

Whatever....I am mentioning it now.

She is a 'celeb'...just as some women consider it a notch on their belt to sleep with well known males, I'm sure some men think the same re females..

The OP of the GUM clinic AMA said HIV is increasing in middle aged women because of liberation and multiple partners. I hope Carol is being careful!

I think shes great

I don’t believe she had five men on the go in the first place, she is just desperate to be seen as desirable and sexy, she will say anything for attention.
