Apparently, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has pledged not to have sex until the election:

The premier's chastity vow came after a weekend meeting with a well-known Sardinian 'charismatic' priest, Father Massimiliano Pusceddu. The TV preacher praised the premier for upholding family values and promised that his movement would back Berlusconi to the hilt during the election campaign .

In response, the media-mogul-turned-politician said: "Dear Don Massimilano, I'll try to live up to your expectations and I promise you two and a half months of absolute sexual abstinence."

Well, if he wins, he'll have one hell of a victory party.
