I’M 50 AND CRAVE SEX

QI’ve been single for 10 years after divorcing my abusive husband at the age of 40. I’m successful, earn good money and can travel if I choose to. Over the past decade I’ve dated occasionally but haven’t found someone I want to share my life with.

Now I’m craving sex, but not necessarily a relationship. I don’t know how to go about finding someone to have sex with. I’m not someone who hangs out in clubs or someone who’d advertise somehow for casual sex. What do I do? Joy, email

ACasual sex should be easier to find than a lasting relationship. I’m sure there are many men who’d be willing to have no-stringsattached encounters. The problem with casual sex, however, is making sure it’s safe sex.

Meeting someone on the internet can be unsafe as the person may not be who they say they are. It’s an option, but you should always ensure you meet for the first time in a safe public place with lots of people around.

Your best bet would be to socialise with other single people and if you find you’re attracted to someone then be open and honest with that person about what you have in mind. It’s generally easier to have casual sex with someone who’s also only interested in having a bit of fun – or someone you may not see again. However it happens, always make sure you have safe sex.
