Whenever anyone reaches a certain age, they are always asked the question: what is your secret? The answers can range from beauty products to olive oil every day to a daily glass of whiskey.
Or there is also another possible explanation given – lots of sex. When the actor Ernest Borgnine was asked this particular question on Fox News, he gave a similar response but with a subtle difference.
Rather than having lots of sex, Borgnine puts his longevity and good looks in old age down to the fact that he masturbates a lot. If that’s true, I should live to a ripe old age.
I didn’t actually find what Borgnine said to be shocking, but was more shocked by the reactions of the presenters. Is sex a taboo subject in the U.S.? In the U.K., we discuss it quite openly, especially on Richard and Judy.
