SAUCY SECRETS: I thought my sexcapades at 43 were empowering and fun... now I've gone too far and I'm the laughingstock of the group chat

Dear Jana,. I came out of a long-term relationship at the start of the year, and since then I've been catching up for lost time. I've slept with more men in the past few months than I did in my single years before meeting my ex. Honestly, it's been so liberating flirting, having fun and getting a bit of myself back.
But I'm the only one in my friendship group who's single (I'm 43F). While they're all busy talking about school runs and house renovations, I'm out there living my best life. And when I tell them about it, I get the 'oh, you're still doing that?' look. It's starting to make me wonder if I've gone too far.
Do I need to rein it in before I turn into the talk of the group chat? Or is this just part of moving on and finding myself again?. Sincerely, Single & Spiralling. Dear Single & Spiralling,. I have three words for you… Get. It. Girl. Forget about being the only single one in your friendship group and break free from the shackles of judgment (which, let's be honest, is usually just jealousy in disguise). Go have some fun! It sounds like you're feeling wanted again, rediscovering your confidence, and enjoying a newly revived libido. That can only be a good thing, right?.
In this week's edition of Saucy Secrets, Mail+ columnist Jana Hocking counsels a 43-year-old woman who fears her prolific sex life is turning off her mostly married-with-children friends. As long as you're being safe (condoms are friends, not foes!) and choosing men who are kind, who cares who you're getting naked with? You're living your best life, and that's what matters.
