Plus: Truly brilliant white wines under £9
| | For years, Ian Oliver felt just a little bit different from his peers. He got along well with girls and went to an all-boys secondary, but when he hit puberty, sex became a hot topic among his classmates. He had no interest.
Despite this, he went on to have several girlfriends and three engagements – all of which ended due to his lack of interest in sex. It wasn’t until he read a newspaper article in his 30s about a woman who was asexual that he had his ‘‘lightbulb’’ moment.
‘‘There was a sense of relief to having a name for myself, and on realising I’d never need to have sex again,’’ says Oliver. Here, he shares his story – and explains just what asexuality means – in his own candid words.
Elsewhere, the bank holiday weather may be dicey, but why not manifest a little sunshine with a crisp, fresh bottle of white? The Telegraph’s Wine Correspondent Victoria Moore has rounded up a league of brilliant white wines under £9 – from Aldi to Waitrose. The only thing better than a bank holiday is one that sticks to the budget.
