Some things never change - when it comes to the opposite sex. And Sir Sean Connery is no execption as far as middle-aged women are concerned.

A Saga survey showed that women over 50 voted the first James Bond as the second sexiest man in Britain - reports the Daily Record.

As for the men... The over 50's voted in two former James Bond cast members: Joanna Lumley from 1969's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", and Minnie Driver from 1995's "GoldenEye".

An overwhelming 84 per cent of over-50s said it`s OK for couples to be openly affectionate in public. Almost 60 per cent felt there isn`t too much sex on TV. Saga`s Emma Soames said: `It was interesting to see the wide variation in tastes.
