Kirk Douglas' Nazi sex

Kirk Douglas has written a new memoir about his colourful sex life.The 90-year-old Oscar winner has recalled how he lost his virginity with his teacher and enjoyed bizarre bedroom sessions with a German airline stewardess.In 'Let's Face It - 90 Years of Living, Loving and Learning' Kirk reveals: "I had been a ragamuffin kid of 15 coping with a neighbourhood filled with gangs. Under my teacher's guidance I became a different person. I am eternally grateful. "By today's standards she would have gone to jail. I had no idea we were doing something wrong. Did she?" The 'Spartacus' actor also romanced a "big, tall blonde" airline stewardess who loved being "disciplined" in bed. In the height of passion, she would scream "I'm a Nazi!" which was Kirk's cue to slap her.While enjoying an active sex life, Kirk insists he did have some morals about love.

When he was seduced by a wealthy girl one summer, he refused to take the relationship any further because he was more interested in her Cadillac.

The Hollywood legend said: "I met a very attractive girl with rich parents. She said her father would buy us a nice apartment in New York and take care of all of our expenses while I was in drama school.

"She had a beautiful Cadillac and there was the extra dividend of good sex. What else could a poor Jewish boy want? But deep down inside I knew I would end up as a man without character. Bottom line, I just couldn't do it."

Kirk also revealed Ava Gardner once turned up at his apartment in the middle of the night crying over her marriage to Frank Sinatra.

He said: "Ava was sobbing. She said they had had an argument. Frank had a gun. He threatened to commit suicide. I said, 'Ava, married people have arguments. Frank loves you. You must go back and try to act like nothing happened.' "
