French publications writing about sex

PARIS, Aug. 6 (UPI) -- Some of France's publications have added illustrated articles on sex that some say are being used to boost sales.

For the last three weeks, Liberation, the daily newspaper founded by Jean-Paul Sartre and others in 1973, is offering a lavishly illustrated series on a different sexual topic every day including oral and group sex, bondage and Internet pornography, reported the Daily Telegraph.

Editors say they have enough topics on sex to last all summer.

Elle magazine had published 10 pages about "French women's fantasies," and France Soir has run a full-page questionnaire to elicit details of readers' most intimate secrets.
