Long-suffering northern males have long been written off as unreconstructed types who love bitter and hate talking about their feelings.

Yesterday, they were coping with a further indignity after it was claimed they were so out of touch with their sexuality that they were inhibiting women in the North.

The finger was pointed by the organisers of an erotic festival, which blamed poor attendance figures on the chauvinism of the northern male.

Erotica - with its display of sex toys and topless dancers - would not be held in Manchester next year unless numbers improved, the event's organisers warned.
