News about David Janson

Although it has taken me until the age of 69, I've finally found a man who makes me laugh, a man who takes me to wonderful restaurants and makes me feel like a lady, and a man who is fit, gorgeous and fantastic in bed. The most important thing is that these three men never meet. It's a twist on an old gag, but in my case it's entirely true. After two marriages and another long-term relationship, none of which provided lasting happiness, like many women my age I now reject the idea of focusing all my love and attention on one man. I won't swallow the lie that a partner to cook and care for is what every woman needs. In fact, there's a sign in my kitchen that says: 'The following four-letter words are banned in this house: cook, dust, wash, iron.' Instead of recoiling at the idea of living alone as I head into the next decade, I love it. Of course, I still adore men, but as friends with benefits rather than a husband. But please, do take your mind out of the gutter - of those three men I'm currently seeing, only one shares my bed.
