Language of love

Localisation - like most developments in publishing - has benefited greatly from the needs of the porn industry. “I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men and German to my horse,” said Charles V of Spain, without, alas, going into detail. I assume, however, that his Italian will not have been the standard fare of that country’s porn site headers, which cracks me up completely:

Signore tettona culo enormi si siede sulla poltrona e ti guarda culo enormi culo enormi pur mantenendo la benda sugli occhi sesso anale culo grosso

You could sing that kind of stuff in a British ice cream ad and no one would notice.

   I always heard it was Friedrich der Große who said this.

   I think Freddy might have talked English to his horse.
