A secondary impetus to my wandering wondering today was a piece on the radio about a short Netflix documentary entitled "What Would Sophia Loren do?". Anyway, that got me to thinking about how the French have this reputation as red-hot lovers, but mostly only the men if so; most of the non-American movie "bombshells" during my my lifetime were Italian. Sophia Loren, Gina Lollobrigida, Elke Sommer - wait, she was German - did I say Sophia Loren?
Brigitte Bardot. She was the inspiration for the phrase “sex kitten.”
I don’t think the French are known so much for being “red hot lovers” as they are for their extremely high level of comfort with issues of sexuality.
