Sting's Wife Trudie Styler: Stories of 24-Hour Tantric Sex Sessions Aren't True

21 years ago, songwriter Bob Geldof and Sting started a long-running belief that the Police frontman could last a whole day in the sack. During an evening interview with a rock journalist, the friendly musicians spoke of their love lives. Geldof claimed to be a "three-minute man," while pegging his buddy as a yoga-fueled tantric sex machine, capable of sustaining 24 hours of lovemaking.

Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Sting's wife Trudie Styler has finally put those rumors to bed. "Him and Sting had gone to do an interview with a rock journalist, and the interview turned into a drinking session. At one point, the journalist asked how long they could go for, and Geldof said that he was a three-minute man, but, as Sting did yoga, he could probably go for hours."

What happened next, was most likely misconstrued by the journalist to be fact as Sting said, "Well, haven't you heard of tantric sex?" Thus began the myth that the 'Message in a Bottle' singer was a god of sex and ska -- a mystical being that dreams of rain in his castle bedroom while engaged in a orgy of epic proportions.

"At the time I thought it was very amusing but then it sort of became a cause celebre," Sting's 57-year-old wife continues. "The tantric hours got extended and, suddenly, I was doing it all day long. Well, if only!"

While this may end up hurting the famous lover-of-the-low-end's cred, it finally gives every other man reasonable expectations. "Sting said that 21 years ago. He has just turned 60, and I imagine it will carry on going until he drops."
