While on the pronouncements from British schlebs - what an extraordinary claim from comedian Stephen Fry that women don't like sex.
He said it was just the price they paid for being in a relationship.
If they truly loved sex, he said, they'd have anonymous encounters with random strangers in
public toilets or local parks - they'd have sex, he claimed, the way gay men do.
If he was trying to be funny, he's misfired.
Feminists have been dusted off and brought out of their gender studies courses to decry him and I imagine there'll be more than one gay man who'll be seething at the perpetuation of the stereotype of gay men being mindless promiscuous whores.
Fry has clearly never been to a bar or nightclub populated by young straight people because he'll find that anonymous sex is alive and well - if that's his measure for enjoying sex.
Fry is sulking now and says he was misquoted and has threatened to quit Twitter - his usual response when criticised.
But even allowing for the fact that gay men are often the sometimes unwilling confidantes of straight women - too much information, girls - it's a ludicrous claim. We're engineered for pleasure as well as production and there are many skilled men who know exactly what buttons to push to prove Fry wrong.
