Thanks for sharing your sex life, Trinny, but is it all too much?

Trinny Woodall’s confessions about her lack of libido may be helping her peers, but is she giving the next generation of women ‘sex angst’ asks Bibi Lynch

Sex at this age is about freedom. You’re free from the possibility of getting pregnant – and those who did have children no longer have the kids in bed with them

There was no “hello” from down below. For that line alone I would marry Trinny Woodall, who trotted it out in an interview she gave to The Times about her total loss of libido when she hit the menopause.

It’s the kind of brutal honesty we have become used to from the broadcaster and fashion and beauty expert who has never knowingly held back since she started giving style advice with wing-woman Susannah Constantine in What Not to Wear.

Trinny also revealed that she’d had testosterone injected into her buttocks to kickstart her sex drive. “I think if you totally shut down your sexuality, you miss an element of being a woman. It’s very easy to do that and it takes away an integral part of the energy of who you are… When your uterus stops secreting sexual juices, you become drier…” TRINNY! “…as a person.”
