Okay, someone has confessed to accidentally deleting my post and asked me to repost. It went something like this:
There's an old joke:
How do you get Aussie girls to hate sex?
Marry them.
My paper ran a feature by Frederick Forsyth about a marlin-fishing trip; the headline was "The Day of the Tackle". All of my women colleagues who saw the proofs immediately thought of the Forsyth novel, The Day of the Jackal. All of the men told me it was "rude" and we shouldn't run it. Go here

Anyway, the point of the post was it's not necessarily that Aussie women hate sex; they just don't obsess about it the way the men do... Now, Paul, can I please get back to my fiddle playing?
