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?

She used to seem quite the opposite of the femme fatale she likes to be seen as now, when she started on TV's Countdown.
Who would have thought that 40 odd years later she would be known for far more raunchy stuff?

She can have all the “special friends” <boak> she likes. But she bangs on (excuse the pun) about it and it’s a little bit cringe.

I am curious about the blokes. Do they mind being part of a harem?

Good luck to her, nothing wrong with having multiple partners if all are happy about it, but it's a bit tacky to talk about it in the media.

I think it’s great she talks about it. The sexuality and desirability of ‘women of a certain age’ is simply erased in our misogynistic culture. Although her choices wouldn’t be my choices - I’m too bloody knackered! - I think it’s positive for her to be an older woman embracing her sexuality and being vocal about it.

The Daily Star is not a reputable news source...

Im just waiting for the male equivalent to make the news with cries of 'go you' and good for him.

Shut up Carol

I think it's great. Good for her!

I expect this will become the new normal soon enough but it's really nobody else's business.

Oh you think she's some sort of public service?

Women in their 60s dont need 'reassurance' to do something they want to do. How patronising.

I’m too lazy to read the article in the link but what does that mean “times are hard”? Why does times being hard mean you have to give 2 of your lovers the elbow? Am I just very naive?

Exactly.

Didn’t she originally speak about it as someone was going to sell the story?

if each time she does a story it stops a pissed off ex selling one for cash I wouldn’t blame her

Sounds great if you want that and everyone are willing partners.

If they're all freely consenting adults, then it's none of my business what they do.

Not patronising at all.
Many women, especially older women have been conditioned to not sleep around, her making it public that she does, could be helpful to them.

Like I said, I doubt that's the reason she tells all, but if it helps...every cloud.

You are unreasonable for using the term "woman of a certain age"

This is what I want to know although to be fair I have neither her figure or her profile !

Sexist AND ageist, then. Well done.

Why shouldn’t she talk about her relationships? She hasn’t done anything to be ashamed of.

Ugh. Can't wait until that attitude is in the bin.

FWIW I'm 40 and my friends are mostly late 40s - late 50s and nobody has this attitude you mention. In fact most women I know delightfully talk about when they slept around before married. And good for them.

I never did, and I regret it tbh!

The phrase ‘woman of a certain age’ is sexist. You never hear ‘man of a certain age’ being used.

I think you need to consider why you’re uncomfortable reading about a sexually confident older woman OP.

It wouldn’t be my choice of relationship but consenting adults shouldn’t be barred from publicly talking about their love life unless they’re young and/or married.

The media sites you’re reading about her love life on are probably wording the articles with the intention of trying to get readers to judge and dislike her.

Last year I read Gransnet and there's some women on there who are happily dating multiple people at once!

Let them 😁

Has anyone actually read the piece linked to?

She's talking about her arthritis and suffering with pain.

I cant see anything about 5 men or 3 men or anything like that.

Poor woman is in pain from arthritis.

Probably because she is annoying.

ETA: She can have as many partners as she wishes, provided everyone involved is a consenting adult then it's entirely her own business. But Christ, she irritates the life out of me.

I do like Carole! I didn’t know about this revelation but hey ho, go for it IMO, and if she’s bend up front then the press can’t use it against her!

She's ghastly.
You go shagging as much as you want treasure.
No one gives a shiny shit

Nor toilet paper in an emergency.
