Continuing the depressing trend of dumbing-down in the once excellent Guardian, today they have an article by an attractive woman who apparently gave up having sex for a year in order to 'find herself', 'gain self-respect', 'avoid damaging relationships' etc etc
Needless to say, she's written a book about it.
The article is as cynical, narcissitic and self-regarding as you would expect. It's also extremely boring. Thankfully, the comments on the internet version are almost uniformly critical. Most of the readers saw the article and book for the desperate acts of self-promotion they are.
