English comedian Russell Brand, who has long been notorious for his frequent and varied sex dalliances, has developed a problem of sorts. You see, the bloke claims to bed 80 women per month:

The comic, 33, boasts in the new American issue of GQ magazine that he enjoys getting down and dirty with up to three girls a day. When asked how many women he has sex with a month, he revealed: “Work out how many days and, here’s a simple rule, triple it! I love it. I’ve a very addictive personality, and it’s very easy for me to get compulsive about anything sensual.”

But it’s not all fun and games. Brand has admitted he’s approaching burnout. “Sometimes I think, ‘Come on, have a day off!’”

The motormouth comedian also revealed he bedded a 61-year-old in his youth but admitted it was a mistake.

“She was certainly not a young woman. She was in a position of authority in my life. I didn’t cover myself in glory that night. It was a formidable and unusual occurrence, and I weren’t yet ready for such challenges to my narrow-minded understanding of bodily aesthetics. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.”

In case you were wondering, Russell spent thirty days in treatment for sex addiction in 2005. (No word on whether he’s yet been treated for that huge “crack problem” of his as well.) Then came this 2006 interview from the Guardian’s Observer:

The way he is written up in the tabloids, I was half expecting to walk into the room to find ‘sex-crazed Russell Brand’ rutting against a table leg. He hasn’t helped matters by admitting during his stand-up that he slept with prostitutes when he was off his skull, or giving interviews announcing ‘I’m obsessed with sex’ (apparently the ‘I’m a sexy wildman!’ quote was made up). You get the feeling that Brand (the former ‘fat kid’) rather enjoys the ladies’ man tag, though he draws the line at ‘sex addict’. ‘The definition of addiction as I understand it is compulsive behaviour – you’re unable to stop, despite the consequences on your life. By that criterion I don’t think I have a problem with sexual addiction. With sex, it’s just a hedonism thing. I don’t like the way everything’s so controlled and constrained. If anything is unusual everyone’s freaked out. But it doesn’t matter, nothing matters, I’m nihilistic like that. I think, let’s just fuck, let’s do something that feels good.’

So, Russell no longer considers himself a “sex addict,” but his outward behavior would suggest otherwise. I guess the better question is, “Why do all these women sleep with Russell Brand?” It’s rather disgusting to think that a fellow who averages three different lays per day probably doesn’t take the time to shower between women, and, of course, one must consider all of the things that cannot be removed by mere showering or, for that matter, by any means at all.

With regard to the sexual mystique of this guy, I guess I just don’t get it. Hell, I don’t want to shag Russell Brand at all, although I will confess to an unbridled desire to cut off that awful fucking hair.
