LONDON: Sylvester Stallone was put on a sex ban while he filmed the latest Rocky movie. The 60-year-old action star, who is married to former model Jennifer Flavin, was happy to adhere to the ban because he had no energy left for the bedroom after his gruelling daily training regime.

He told Scotland’s Daily Record newspaper: “There is only so much energy in the body and I know some athletes in the film didn’t adhere to the ban, but I did because I knew it was the only way. I hear David Beckham says he doesn’t, but maybe he’s the exception. The people I know who fight, all stick to a sex ban because if they don’t, they lose.”

Stallone says you only have to look at nature to see how the most sexually frustrated animals are the more aggressive. “Think about the wild bull and those guys in the pasture having fun. Who do you think would win in a fight between them? The wild bull of course.”
