The world's first international sex school has opened in Austria and claims it will teach students how to be better lovers, a report said.

But far from being a cheap thrill, one term at the International Sex School in Vienna will cost pupils £1 400 (more than R18 000).

According to orange news, Swedish-born headmistress Ylva-Maria Thompson says anyone over the age of 16 can enrol at what she describes as "the world's first college of applied sexuality".

Students live in a mixed sex dormitory block where they're expected to practise their homework.

"Our core education is not theoretical, but very practical. The emphasis is on how to be a better lover,” the new school head added.

"Sexual positions, caressing techniques, anatomical features. And we teach people hands on."

Raunchy adverts showing a couple making love have already been banned by Austrian TV, the report said

"This is wrapped up in a very stylish way but it is just selling sex," one protestor commented.
