Grumpy Aussie miners get sex lessons
Grumpy Australian coal miners are getting lessons on "exploring their wives" to revive their sex lives and boost production at work.

Men working at the Bulga mine near Sydney attend classes on issues such as menopause and foreplay because, a manager told the Sydney Morning Herald, a miner not having sex at home "can get mighty grumpy at work".

Nurse Tammy Farrell said the mostly middle-aged miners sniggered when she mentioned extra-virgin olive oil in a nutrition talk but became "very serious" when the subject turned to cranky menopausal wives rejecting their advances.

2. What about "extra-virgin" olive oil?
What can that do for your sex life that plain old olive oil can't?

4. Corporations now want to influence their employees' sex lives
to promote more work productivity.

...The Xstrata mining company's communications manager James Rickards said the classes had been successful because the men were keen to learn about the changes associated with menopause and why their sex lives might be suffering...

I think corporations should stay out of employees' personal lives.
