And Now For Something Completely Different: Raquel Welch Sez 'We're all sex addicts'


Raquel Welch, one of the premiere sex symbols of the 1960s, believes American culture has devolved to the point where "we're all sex addicts."]

The star of "One Million Years B.C." spoke to Men's Health magazine this month, after clocking in at number two in the magazine's list of "The Hottest 100 Women Of All Time" last December. In her interview, Welch talks about sexuality, both in her heyday and today.

"I think we’ve gotten to the point in our culture where we’re all sex addicts, literally," says Welch. "We have equated happiness in life with as many orgasms as you can possibly pack in, regardless of where it is that you deposit your love interest ... I don’t care if I’m becoming one of those old fogies who says, 'Back in my day we didn’t have to hear about sex all the time.'"

"Where is the anticipation and the personalization? It’s all pre-fab now. You have these images coming at you unannounced and unsolicited. It just gets to be so plastic and phony to me," says Welch. "My fantasies were all made up on my own. They’re ruining us with all the explanations and the graphicness. Nobody remembers what it’s like to be left to form your own ideas about what’s erotic and sexual. We’re not allowed any individuality. I thought that was the fun of the whole thing. It’s my fantasy. I didn’t pick it off the Internet somewhere."
