About 19% of men admitted they were potential gold-diggers and would tie the knot with someone in order to benefit from their wealth and luxury lifestyle, compared with only 11% of women.

Pretty much a staple of a certain sort of historical novel (that is, those written back in history, […]

Seems that the British male is less interested in bonking his partner than in the past. As to possible explanations:

Cooper, who is professor of organisational psychology and health at Lancaster University, also blamed Britain’s culture of long working hours. ‘Britain’s work culture has gone from 9 to 5 to extremely long hours, which makes for […]

So the perpetrators of this blackmail plot about the royal gay sex scandal have been found guilty and sentenced to five years each. No, I still can’t say who it was all about but that is easy enough to find out.
What everyone is really interested in of course is whether the allegations were true, not […]

Oh Aye?

Police in Tarpon Springs, Florida, said the body of Deborah Jeane Palfrey, 52, was discovered in a storage shed near the mobile home of her mother, Blanche, where she had been staying while awaiting a jail sentence. Officers confirmed that a handwritten note was found with the body and that foul play was not […]

Gordon was friendly – at least until I explained my mission.
"Make up with Peter?" he hissed in an angry whisper.
Then, as his voice gradually rose from dispatch-box volume to a near shout, he exclaimed: "Peter? He’s been going around telling everyone that I’m gay! And I am NOT GAY!"

It’s not actually something to worry about […]

Look, he’s gone from the political scene (Hurrah!):

In her conversations with investigators, the new informant told how the former governor was fond of using sex toys to enhance his own pleasure.
She also gave further details as to his specific sexual fetishes in graphic detail, "divulging that he a penchant for props," the Post reports.

It’s not actually as if this is a surprise, of course:

Money doesn’t make the world go round: it’s testosterone. The more that traders have, the richer they’ll become - up to a point.
John Coates, who used to manage a trading floor at Deutsche Bank on Wall Street but is now at the Judge Business School […]

while hedgehogs are into girl-on-girl cunnulingulus.

Wow! Umm, and just what is the cunnulingulus of which the Good Professor speaks? A google search provides four entries, two the rather strange online handle of a game player, this article itself (and this blog post will presumably follow at some point) and the Great Peter Briffa commenting upon […]

A startling revelation: the Frogs are trying to spice up their sex lives and in doing so they’re buying up British designed sex toys.
One possible explanation is that the Brits (as George Mikes pointed out, the Continentals have sex lives, the British have hot water bottles) needed technological assistance and thus developed the technology […]

From Ian Dale’s survey of sexuality in politics:

All this does seem to prove that political parties do attract more gay people, proportionately, than other areas of society. This is especially true among activists, I think. One or two people in previous threads have had a go at explaining this phenomenon, but I don’ think any […]

I came across the same phenomenon when researching an article on Sienna Miller: the 18th-century idea that young actresses are little different to common prostitutes is alive and thriving through 21st-century technology.

Umm, no, not quite. There is indeed a certain level of young actresses who are so thought of but they are referred to more […]

Seeing this story:

The founder of a website which sold sperm to lesbians who wanted children has been jailed for 16 months for fraud and forgery.

I thought, Aha! He’s been doing what that American doctor used to do. When asked for a sample to impregnate a woman he would run through the catalogue, agree, yes, […]

Marvellous!
On being asked to comment on the idea that the 28 year old mistress of the 66 year old Czech President is pregnant the spokesman said:

Despite my gloom and regular jeremiads, it is true that life and society, in oh so many ways, do get better over time.

(I was one of those surveyed, by the way. YouGov, here’s a hint for free - we have civil partnerships now, we can’t get sacked for being gay, heck, we can even serve […]

Sounds, erm, different:

Max Mosley, one of the most powerful men in world sport, was under pressure to resign as boss of Formula One’s governing body last night after he was exposed enjoying a Nazi-style orgy with five prostitutes.
Jewish groups condemned the behaviour of Mosley, 67, whose father, Sir Oswald, was the leader of the British […]

“It is also my client’s understanding from the same source that Gov Spitzer did not remove his mid-calf-length black socks during the sex act."

Not exactly high style, is it?

The Singapore government is offering students lessons in seduction in an attempt to boost the city state’s flagging birth rates.

Are they looking for examiners for the practicals, do you think?

Although, to be fair, we didn’t look to Prezza for the porno, rather the comedy value.

Is there a reason I need to know about the legal, consensual sex acts of various tri-state governors? I know the economy is bad, but surely things are not yet so dire that we must look to our elected officials […]
