Ex-French President Chirac lost his virginity in an Algiers bordello

Paris, Nov.4 (ANI): Former French President Jacques Chirac has come up with a surprising revelation about his private life - the loss of his virginity.

In "Each Step Must Itself Be a Goal", the first of two volumes, which charts his life up to his 1995 presidency, Chirac recounts how he lost his virginity while working as a sailor aged 18 in an Algiers bordello.

"The bosun asked me whether I was a virgin. I said yes. 'Well we'll have to sort that out. You'll see,' he told me. It was very nice of him and it had to be done. And he took me to one of those famous quarters of the Kasbah where we spent the whole night," The Telegraph quotes him as saying in his autobiography.

"When the next morning came I went back down to the port ... I was no longer the same man," he adds. (ANI)
