good thing I do not live in France

if you check out the following link you will find that a 49 year old French woman sued her 52 year old french husband for divorce. the judge granted the divorce and fined the husband 14,000 ($?).

the reason for the divorce and fine was that the husband was not engaging in love making and in France for a married person to not have sex is both a crime and a reason for divorce.

Under Australian law, if a person suffers a deterioration or loss of sexual enjoyment on account of an injury caused due to another's negligence, this can give rise to a claim for compensation. The head of damage is called, "loss of consortium". In my former ambulance chasing days I recall successfully suing for loss of consortium on several occasions. Most clients do not want to bring the claim because of the evidence which must be given to support such a claim; it can be a trifle embarrassing.

I cannot tell a lie - it's not mine. I heard it from Cec Bolton, a fantastic bloke who sadly is no longer with us. He did however leave great memories and a lot of witty sayings which I occassionally pilfer.

A priest was given his Sunday congregation a sermon and the benefits of a healthy sex life and how important it was to a long and lasting marriage,
He asked the male members of his congregation how many had sex more than once a week,
Nervously several of his congregation put their hands up smiling as they did,

"Nothing wrong with that my sons" he replied, "you’ll probably have long and happy marriages"
He then asked how many had sex once a week
Nervously several more of his congregation put their hands up
"Nothing wrong with that he replied you’ll probably all have good marriages"
He then asked how many had sex once a month
A few of his congregation put their hands up
"That’s OK he replied you’ll probably have other commitments and place less importance on sex in the marriage"
He then asked how many had sex once a year
A little old guy named Trevor sitting in the back row excitedly put his hand up and shouted
“Me, Me, father”
The priest asked
“and why are you so excited my son?”
“Tonight’s the night, father”
