The richer you are, apparently, the better sex you have. That’s according to a recent survey of more than 600 high-net-worth individuals. And rich women, it seems, enjoy sex the most.
“In seeking a higher-quality sexual experience the number of well-heeled women that lead more adventurous and exotic sex lives, have had an affair, or joined the mile-high club far outdistances that of men — and the affluent gender gap in views on sex doesn’t end there,” Hannah Shaw Grove and Russ Alan Prince, two well-known researchers on the habits of the rich and famous, found.

Part one of a French ban on smoking in public places comes into force on Thursday, covering workplaces, schools and hospitals and setting the clock ticking for smoke-filled cafes and bars which have until next January to kick the habit.

Look like James Bond? Expect a date not marriage
NEW YORK: Men with rugged jaws and chiselled, masculine facial features might have no problem getting dates but women don’t always see them as marriage material, according to a US study.

If I’m ever reincarnated, I want to be a woman next time around,” my 56-year-old (male) friend from my high school days blurted out to me one day after we’d met up for the first time in a while.

I was a bit perplexed. “I’ve never been a woman, so how would I know. Some women have faked orgasm, so it’s a bit intrusive for a guy to stand there and talk about what a woman’s orgasms should be like.”
He shot back. “I’m not asking you to speak from personal experience. Tell me from the point of view of somebody who’s been studying Japanese sexuality for 30 years.” Read more
