In a recent interview with Reuters, his best friend Franco Columbu confirmed that such incidents have taken place, such as when he touched the breasts of a British television presenter. "Like the girl in London when he was lying on the bed, the couch or whatever it was, and touching her and taking a picture," Columbu said. "That stuff is Arnold, he does that. He says, 'You have nice big legs' and touch her, fine. But nothing harmful or telling somebody 'Leave, I am going to be with her alone."' "They love it of course. I've never seen him do something that was, like, out of place. Talking, yes, he would say something like 'Oh, you look so sexy,' 'Oh, ya, you have a nice ass,' but that's it."

Over his long career in bodybuilding and then film, Schwarzenegger has often discussed women and sex in a way that some voters may find objectionable. "Girls became sex objects. I saw the other bodybuilders using them in this way and I thought it was all right," he wrote in his 1977 memoir "Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder."Whatever I thought might hold me back, I avoided. I crossed girls off my list -- except as tools for my sexual needs." "My attitude about all that has changed radically. I used to feel that women were here for one reason. Sex was simply another kind of exercise, another body function." In the 1974 book "Pumping Iron" Schwarzenegger said: "If I see a girl with big tits, I'm going to stare and stare. And I'm going to think in my mind what I am going to do with her if I would have her."
