Terminator star Arnold Schwarzenegger has confessed that he attended classes to try and stem his sexual urges, after being elected as Governor of California.

In an interview with the Daily Mirror, the Austrian-born former body builder describes how his decision to take the special classes was influenced by the allegations of sexual harassment that plagued him during his campaign to become governor.

"I've learned my lesson. I think that now that I am not representing myself but representing the state of California, it is a totally different ball game," the Hollywood star, turned politician, told the paper.

"When I took office, the first thing we did was to take classes and have experts come in to talk about sexual harassment because the laws are so strict now."

The Republican governor even hinted that he has his sights set on the White House, expressing his view that it is "outdated" to prevent non American-born citizens standing for the presidency.

Mr Schwarzenegger is married to newscaster Maria Shriver, a self-confessed Democrat and member of the Kennedy clan.

Unlike his wife, Mr Schwarzenegger indicated that he would not be backing Democrat candidate John Kerry in the forthcoming presidential election.

Nonetheless, despite their political differences, Mr Schwarzenegger confessed that he often goes skiing with Mr Kerry, who has a house next door to his in Idaho's Sun Valley.
