Looking around the train carriage this morning, I am struck by the realisation that people inevitably get uglier as they get older.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, relationships are not based on looks, bla bla bla. But if physical intimacy is a key to sustaining a relationship how are you supposed to get aroused by the man who looks like the father in law you met 30 years ago and himself now resembles the man in the photograph?
After a while in a relationship sex can be a real effort. So how do you do it when you factor in a ridiculous commute, pressures at work and all the other demands which are an unfortunate consequence of adulthood?
