Letter: Sex god Clinton

Sir: Suzanne Moore on Monica Lewinsky states, "She gave him oral sex in return for what?" (Review, 23 September). What can Ms Moore possibly mean?

Echoes of my 1905-born mother. When my brother and his girlfriend came to stay from the States, where to our mother's exact knowledge they had been cohabiting unmarried for some years, I was told in very precise terms that they were to have separate bedrooms (even in my house) because he could not "expect to have his marriage benefits for free".

Is this the same point, or am I missing something.
