Italian PM says he cannot understand missing out on the 'conquest' element of seduction, in interview with magazine.
Silvio Berlusconi has denied allegations he paid women for sex, as he continued to be dogged by allegations he has a fondness for young models and starlets.

Previously, he had simply dismissed as "garbage" and a smear campaign reports that an acquaintance had paid at least three women to attend parties at his residences.
