Both show the bedroom antics of ladies in their 40s and 50s sleeping with much younger men and this is being credited with the sudden upturn in British women in the same age group looking for sexy underwear. Debenhams said that nationwide analysis of their most sold lingerie styles over the last six months revealed that the over 40s has given a huge boost to the lingerie market.

Annette Warburton, Debenhams’ head lingerie buyer, said: “Positive female role models in this age group such as the women in the Sex and the City movies and Courteney Cox in TV’s Cougar Town are giving the women confidence to splash out on themselves.

“With women’s 40s being touted as the new 20s, and lingerie designers stepping up to the mark to feed this demand, it’s a market we expect to see grow further in the future.”

The trend follows that of older women joining online dating sites, as old people look for romance after a divorce or widowing.

The crimes took place between February 2 and 5 in 1999, and between March 15 and 18 in 2004. In Leicester Crown Court today Squires was also charged with damaging property on those dates – whether this was in the act of beastiality or in his hurry to get to the animals was not made clear.

While it’s often said that the older generation like things done traditionally and that modern technology is too much for them, surely someone could’ve found him an online dating site to sign up to.

The infographic (below) also shows that online dating sites, such as eHarmony and Match, are full of liars and easy lays. Although out of the 1 in 3 women who slept with a guy on a first date, 80% of them didn’t use protection. Naughty, naughty.

This week saw Gareth Mead (an English Member of Parliament) and Michelle ‘Bombshell’ McGee (famous for sleeping with Jesse James). Photos of both these people in sexual poses, swastikas and Nazi salutes were found by reporters. Mead lost his job because his bosses felt the implications of the photos weren’t suitable for his position in such an ethnic community as Hammersmith and Fulham.

Mead said: “It’s a private fetish – I’m not interested in anything political and I’m not a racist. There are Jewish men who do this as well.”

Gareth Mead is not the first public figure to be sacked because of their sex life – in 2006 the Liberal Democrats Home Affairs spokesperson Mark Oaten was sacked after newspaper reports of hiring rent boys and his copraphilia fetish and a year later Katie Hopkins, a contestant on The Apprentice, was sacked for having sex in a public place – the Daily Mail photographed her at it in a cornfield.
