From sexual escapades with younger men to fancying your best friend , Rachel Johnson advises a woman who is ashamed of having sex with a younger man, and another confused about her sexuality. Dear Rachel, I was in a long marriage that eventually turned very unpleasant and abusive. I’ve been separated for a year and half now.
I have a high-profile and high-pressure job and do not want a long-term relationship again so I have been on Tinder , which, to my surprise, has been great and I am seemingly very popular. One of the men I have met is literally half my age (I’m 62), the sex is amazing and he is a lovely person. He is an Australian here on a short-term visa so it would never be long term.
I am aware that society frowns upon such a relationship where the woman is much older , even though it condones the same if the man is much older than the woman. He is attracted to only older women and as I keep myself in good shape and love sex, younger men are very attractive to me. Part of me thinks it is incredibly unfair.
Should I just ignore society and ignore thinking I should feel ashamed, or should I break it up and look for a more age-appropriate sexual partner? – Anon.
