How jealous are you? Do you think that the person that you're with is up to something behind your back? Do you worry about that kind of stuff, or are you pretty much relaxed about all of it? I suspect on a scale of 1 to 10, when it comes to jealousy, I'm probably around a 4. I don't get too jealous. Of course, there's always little niggles, but generally I'm not all that jealous, and I personally know that for me, a lot of, you know, what I get up to or don't get up to is around availability and opportunity. Have I— am I in a situation where there's somebody I'm interested in and they're available? Mostly I'm not because I work for myself in a room and there's nobody else around. And so if I want to meet someone, I pretty pretty much have to go online or I have to go out. I have to make arrangements. I have to figure out where we're going to meet. If we decide that we are interested in each other and we want to have sex, then we have to figure out a date, a time, all that sort of thing. Mostly it just doesn't happen because I just can't make it work. And even when I'm out, if I think somebody is flirting with me, it's unlikely to go anywhere. And these days Not a lot of people do anyway, because let's face it, I'm no spring chicken, and I had plenty of flirting and opportunities and loads of sex when I was in my 40s, which I don't regret at all. And ladies, if you're in your 40s and you're up for it, you can have so much fun. I have to say, that was the best decade in terms of sexual activity, just loads of it. But these days, I don't you know, I'm not as bothered, let's put it that way. I know I can have sex when I want to because I'm a woman, and if you're a woman and you want to have sex, you can, providing you expend some energy. But if my partner wants to spend more time trying to find people to have sex with, sexting, doing whatever, then I think, well, you know, that's up to him, and I want him to do whatever makes him happy. And providing we've got an understanding that that's, you know, okay, then I don't really see much that's wrong with it.
