These veddy British journalists dare to explore “the horror of wrinkly sex.” Aging female readers looking for signposts and encouragement will be partially satisfied, but this is more like a pub crawl alongside an English girlfriend jawing on about everything to do with sex (including not having it). Frequent man-bashing confuses the unwritten goal of making “single sirens” feel better about needing men in the first place. Reminiscent of Barbara Herrick’s The Blackberry Tea Club: Women in Their Glory Years, this is of limited usefulness.
