I DO not want to give my name because I would not want my family to read this. I just wanted to say how I completely disagree with Helen Mead's column on Monday.

I am a 71 year old pensioner and enjoy sex as much now as I did in my twenties. I have been having sex inside and outside for years, even in the garden shed.

Helen obviously has not found the right man.

Name and address supplied.

...COLUMNIST Helen Mead again tells us about her barren sex-life (May 12). Her column resembles one of those dreadful TV programmes where brainless morons expose all the sordid details of their inelegant existence.

How many Evening Press readers want to know that Mistress Helen permits no hanky-panky in the garden? I'd be more interested if she did.

If young Helen finds sex so boring and continues to resist it with such vehemence, she will one day wake up to find that any attempt at sexual activity will only cause a fall of soot.
