Have you ever compared the aroma of your vagina to a raccoon eating a dead fish in a dumpster? Lacey has. Our lady gardens aren't meant to smell like roses but if things are overly whiffy downstairs it might mean something more serious is going on.

In popular culture, there are lots of ways of naming the "other woman" and none of them are particularly kind: temptress, home-wrecker, mistress, side girl. In the cultural imagination, the "other woman" comes to lure men away from their partner and run a wrecking ball through the perfect family home. They embody the potential fragility of our closest and most important relationships.

As we get older, wiser, more resilient, and better placed to back seat drive, the world does not reward us. Or our grey hair. If the advances of human progress can make a potato chip taste like a beef rendang curry, why are women still, after all this time and progress, so judged by the way we look? The Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery estimates Australians spend around $1 billion a year on cosmetic procedures.

And will it be the mean the end of sex in my relationship?
