And on top of that, the poor have more sex and enjoy it more than the rich,-or at least the former afford the latter an opportunity to believe it to be so, and to share it vicariously and enviously.

And now we learn that the millionaire is not really into fucking his trophy wife. Looks like a win for the back-door man.
