The former Erotic Review magazine editor answers your sex questions... We have been to bed once and the sex was fantastic, but I couldn't help contrasting my ageing body with his perfect pecs. I'm scared that he sees me as a desperate woman in the last-chance saloon, and I am worried what my children think. All my friends are shocked and tell me he's taking advantage of my vulnerability and that I should find someone nearer my own age. But I enjoy his company, his humour, and his energy in the bedroom. Can't I have a little fun before I become a pensioner? When women are young and looking for Mr Right to share a hearth and to father children, they should consider every single practical aspect of a potential partner. But having just exited a long relationship, I doubt your immediate priority is replicating the model. Jolly, amusing company, coupled with an invigorating love life, could well prove the perfect therapy. An eminently sensible 54-year-old friend of mine, who was left by her husband of 26 years, had a brief fling with a handsome young artist to the surprise of most of her acquaintances. Shortly afterwards, with the spring back in her step, she met and charmed her second husband, who's a few years older than she is. Share Reassure your friends that while you enjoy this man's company in the here and now, you are utterly realistic about the relationship's potential limitations. Your children are a different matter. If you tell them about this relationship, you may find they have understandable caveats: both because of the recent divorce and because this man is not so very much older than them. So while things remain on a light-hearted footing, I would keep this man out of their path. You have a right to a private life, as do your children. All of my divorced female friends have a firm rule about not introducing any new suitor until they know he will be in their lives for some while. If things do progress, you will need to sit your children down and discuss the matter sensitively, gauging their reaction. Do remember, however, that they are likely to feel cautious about any relationship you develop, with their keenest scrutiny based on the man's character and treatment of you and them , not his age. One divorced woman I know has just moved in with a younger man and her teenage daughter is thrilled that they like the same music and he's teaching her guitar. It's your own take on the situation that will determine whether this young man boosts or saps your confidence. You can walk down the 'ageing, vulnerable, imperfect me' route - or you can congratulate yourself on your va va voom. Not every woman in her 50s can enthral a chap more than two decades younger. More from Rowan Pelling for the Daily Mail... It's clearly not preoccupying him. Very few men prize physical perfection above vivacity, humour, intelligence and kindness. You don't need to watch The Graduate to know an older woman has much to offer a younger man. The confidence, sophistication and sexual experience of a 50-something woman is invariably light years away from her 20-year-old self. Many older women will take the lead in bed in a way they would never have done in their youth. You could see yourself as doing this man a favour with a bedroom masterclass. The truth is, one liaison with a younger man doesn't turn you into some sort of Cougar. Why does everyone make such a meal about age differences when it comes to love? Why shouldn't 46-year-old Demi Moore sincerely love 31-year-old Ashton Kutcher, and vice versa? Temporal years do not always correlate with inner years. In my 20s I went out with a man who was 27 years older than me, to the bemusement of my friends, but he had the spirit of a teenager. I found his swaggering confidence preferable to the studied ambivalence of many of my fumbling peers. And I presume he thought my youth compensated for my sexual inexperience. The truth is you might not yet be ready for the dyed-in-the-wool habits of a 50-something bachelor. Your beau sounds like a breath of fresh air after a stressful time. Having said all that, most evidence suggests relationships between older women and much younger men are less likely to go the distance than the older man and younger woman model, or partnerships where the age gap is smaller. It's a cruel matter of biology: an older man can supply a child to his younger spouse, but not so the mature woman. My advice to you would be to see this as a rejuvenating, lighthearted liaison that helps bridge the gap between divorce and the next great life adventure.
