Berlusconi 'in pre-poll sex ban'


Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has surprised followers with an unusual pledge - to give up sex until after April's general election.

Mr Berlusconi, 69, reportedly made the vow at a campaign rally in Sardinia with a popular local TV preacher.

Father Massimiliano Pusceddu had praised him for opposing gay marriage and defending family values.

In remarks quoted by Il Giornale newspaper, Fr Pusceddu promised his support, prompting the PM's comments.

"I will try to meet your expectations, and I promise from now on, two-and-a-half months of absolute sexual abstinence, until 9 April," he said.
