So much for the myth of great French lovers.
A 51-year-old Frenchman has been ordered to pay his ex-wife $14,000 for being a dud in bed during their 21 years of marriage.
A judge in Nice ruled that the legal code stipulating married couples must agree to a "shared communal life," implied that "sexual relations must form part of a marriage."
He ruled that meant the woman's complaint of a lack of fire in the bedroom constituted grounds for divorce, London's Daily Telegraph reported.
The 47-year-old wife wasn't satisfied, though, and demanded 10,000 Euros in compensation for "lack of sex" during her two decades with her husband.

A Sydney man has delivered his final gag — in a newspaper's death notices.
Brian Alexander Leitch's dying wish was to be able to write his own obituary, which appeared in today's Daily Telegraph after he finally succumbed to cancer on December 15 at the age of 76.
The message reads:
"I would like my relatives and friends to know that I have finally fallen off the perch due to a serious attack of death which was utterly and absolutely fatal and totally untreatable even with a bottle of Chivas (although God knows I tried). See ya at the camel sales. Over and Out — Captain. "

Yesterday brothers Guido Garafalo, 45, and Alberto Mario, 53, were picnicking with their families on Mount Etna, on the island of Sicily, when Guido collapsed to the ground with a heart attack.

Paramedics arrived by helicopter but both brothers were declared dead at the scene.
