| I didn't expect it to be like this at my age. I thought my sexual prime would be when I was at my most sexy, which is certainly not when I look in the mirror now. But it's not how we look, it's how we feel, and at this point in time I feel strong, uncompromising - and up for it. I'm not alone: looking around, the culture seems to be positively vibrating with middle-aged women having the sex of their lives. On screen, Nicole Kidman, 57, seduces anything that moves, the latest Bridget Jones movie sees her have two younger men on the go, and Miranda July's latest novel All Fours has been passed round midlife book clubs more times than the school gigolo. Fashion designer Phoebe Philo, 51, and a longtime poster girl for this generation, has been employing increasingly sexually suggestive designs, from back seam trouser zips to erotic prints.

| Many millennials (me included) have recently entered the arid sex desert known as The Baby Years. Yes, we may be falling into bed at 8.45pm but we're also suffering from the kind of brain-melting tiredness that means every exchange is followed by, ‘Wait, did I already tell you that?', | Many millennials (me included) have recently entered the arid sex desert known as The Baby Years.

| - | It's fine, though. Millennials have already made significant inroads when it comes to sexual enlightenment. We speak fluent polyamory, we made sex parties cool again and we're all about open communication (we are, after all, the generation who discovered mental health). Crucially, we're not as blighted by porn addiction as the generations who grew up after the advent of superfast broadband; as teens, millennials were forced to download porn clips via a dial-up modem on the family desktop and it's hard to get a proper horn-on when you have to wait three days to watch a 14-second clip.

| The truth is, lots of us are a bit short on time. Having said that, my friends who are currently child-free seem to be having some great adventures. One couple I know recently went to a ‘sensual touch' party, where you take off all your clothes in a darkened room, lie on the floor and have warm extra virgin olive oil poured all over you. Then you writhe around with the other attendees - they said it was brilliant. | The truth is, lots of us are a bit short on time.
