I have never paid one lira, one euro for sexual favours. I say this also because, for those who love to conquer, the joy and the most beautiful satisfaction is in the conquest. If you have to pay, I ask you, what joy is there?

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi once again denies that he has paid women for sex (which isn't actually the issue, since someone else paid for them.) The Daily Mail's coverage of this comment notes that Berlusconi delivered his poetic remarks "as an expressionless Spanish counterpart looked on." I can imagine! Also, Gianpaolo Tarantini, the businessmen who claims to have procured a large number of women for the premier's enjoyment, alleges that "two of the prostitutes he provided for the 73-year-old media tycoon were "SISTERS" who specialised in a sordid double-act." E la vita continua.
