Sex may not be all that it's cracked up to be, according to some Australians at least, who have revealed in a survey they prefer curling up with a good book rather than their lover.

I was led to believe Aussie men were like bulls in bed.

Well, last I heard, Australians were getting super fat. So I'd rather read, too, if I lived there. Climaxing and horfing shouldn't go together.

Big girls are more fun. Just grab a roll, the natural lubricants on the skin will

couldn't finish before throwing up

Whoa Mates, Aussies are a literal lot, I am sure they meant to say they spend more time reading than having sex! They are just not as prude as Yanks, and get over their naked bodies at an early age, unlike most Americans that spend more time watching someone else doing it rather than perfecting their own SKILLS!!!

But you can read a book as many times as you feel the need; also, you don't have to look your best. Would it not depend on what book?

I've had sex more than once, that's for sure. Multiple times a day, if I can...

you don't have to look your best

I never look my best...

Never judge a book by it's cover, GEEZER-guy, you know that =)
