Oh please! Would someone tell Trudie Styler that we don't want any more details about what her and husband Sting get up in bed.

Years ago she told us how Tantric sex meant the couple could go at it for hours and now she has shocked an American DJ with intimate details of the couple's wife-swapping antics.

Claiming it is a normal part of the rock and roll scene, Trudie explained she has been to bed with other women and has watched while Sting got it together with a bevy of beauties.

Now don't get me wrong - I have no problem with consenting adults doing what they want but do we all need to know about it?

Trudie's outburst is the equivalent of those 'zany' types who go round in bright coloured glasses telling everyone just how mad they are.

If Trudie's sex life really was so liberated and free and easy, she wouldn't feel the need to talk about it as she would be getting all the gratification she craved at home.

Her bragging simply makes her look like a sad, desperate woman trying to create a wild image for a conservative man who we all know is primarily interested in saving the planet.

The real rock and roll gods get on with their rebellion and don't have the time or inclination to tell anyone else about it. But Trudie isn't the only one promoting an alternative way of living.

Dr Laura Schlessinger has written a very disturbing book about relationships which is flying off the shelves in America.

It's title is The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands and sadly there isn't a single ounce of sarcasm in its covers.

The book advocated the ways of a 50s housewife for a modern woman wanting to hang onto her man.

According to this bible a woman should always wear lipstick for her fella and cook his tea.

She should not bore him with details of her day but instead let him let off steam before running him a bath and washing his hair!

Most men I know would run a mile if their partner turned into this kind of Stepford Wife clone but Dr Laura reckons if you don't worship your bloke he'll leave (probably for a woman who uses her brain, lets her hair down and has something to say for herself.)

It's no surprise this book, which seems to reduce men to the status of an idolised pet, is popular across the Pond.

Americans love to look back to the good old days and to be told in five easy steps how they can turn their money-obsessed, image full lives around.

Luckily the book doesn't stand a chance in the UK. British women's most powerful weapon in life and love is our sense of humour so we will simply laugh at its crass advice and set about massaging every man's most erogenous zone - his funny bone.
