I am ex-Cambridge, an erotic novelist - check out The Gift of Girls and Being a Girl on Amazon - charmed by well-read intellectuals who don't care that the economy has gone down the toilet. Snobbish? A bit. But I can't stand false modesty and game-playing.

In matters of love, or rather sex, it is my experience that if you don't go to bed with the man the first time you date it's because you don't really fancy him and it will be a disappointment if you allow it to take place on subsequent dates. Easy? No, extremely fussy, and attracted oddly to older men.

Can't stand slutty pop culture, in the house, in yer face, in the tabloids garbage and dream of living ona desert island without electricity.
