Sexual Dynamo, 94, Ditched by Third Wife

ROME (Reuters) - It took nearly a century, but an Italian retiree has discovered that experience and enthusiasm in the bedroom aren't necessarily the right ingredients for a happy marriage, an Italian newspaper reported Thursday.

Rome's la Repubblica said the unnamed 94-year-old found himself in court in the central Italian town of Chieti on Wednesday after his third wife, a 52-year-old woman he met through a marriage agency five months ago, filed for divorce.

Explaining to the court why he thought the marriage had broken down, the nonagenarian dynamo was quoted as saying it was probably because he'd wanted too much sex.
