To be frank...

ONG gone are the days when prudish Brits looked across the Channel with raised eyebrows at the sexual eccentricities of continental Europe.

Think back to the pre-internet era, when Eurotrash would shock viewers. How innocent it seems now. Remember that bawdy late-night series hosted by French designer Jean-Paul Gaultier and Antoine de Caunes, where you might gawp at a chubby middle-aged fraulein serving pork knuckle and litre steins in an all-nude Bavarian beer hall. A tongue-in-cheek voiceover making Carry On-style innuendos. Or we'd glance across the Atlantic, pearls clutched, at outrageous spectacles like John Bobbitt, who became a porn star after his wife infamously cut off his... you know what.

Now, it's the rest of the world looking at Britain like a worried parent at a renegade teen. This week, I caved and watched Channel 4's 1000 Men And Me, a voyeuristic documentary about Bonnie Blue one of the most notorious women on the internet.
