Sting is Unfortunately not the Tantric Sex God We all Thought he Was

SexySexyHeather Graham was the latest to join the Tantric sex craze, but Roller Girl wasn't the first or the most famous. That role belonged to Sting, but  Sting's daughter recently let the cat out of the bag once again: the whole tantric sex rumor was a practical joke  started by Bob Geldolf.

Whether or not this means that 8 hours of tantric sex is possible or not remains to be seen, but I am seriously bummed out this probably means that Sting isn't a swinger either. There go my fantasies.

Way back in a 2004 interview, Sting told BBC1 that he not only had no clue what tantric sex was, Sting said he would instead describe his sex life with his wife as "frantic sex", which does not sound nearly as appealing.

The tantric sex connection was apparently traced back to a dinner with Geldoff in which Sting bragged about his 8-hour love-making stints, and Geldoff reportedly joked back that "30 seconds" was more his style, potentially earning him the unofficial McLovin' award. As a joke, neither party denied the tantric sex rumor, possibly making it the biggest urban legend to hit the airwaves since the Richard Gere gerbil rumor of the early 80's.

Most people don't have such success in spreading rumors of their sexual prowess, but this may just be due to the company that they keep. Not everybody has friends in "high places".  

The two have a history of talking up their sex life. His wife Trudie was joking just last summer about how Sting's gray beard had contributed deliciously to their sex life.  Of course, the entire story was carried by FOX news and we all know how reputable their reporting is....
