'X-Men: First Class' - Mutants Running Around Naked, F***ing in the Bushes??

One of the many reasons that X-Men went from a failed title to one of the most-loved modern superhero comics after Chris Claremont rebooted the franchise with Giant-Sized X-Men #1 was because he masterfully found a way to make mutants a metaphor for the pains and pleasures of puberty. You might have missed it, after all over the years that metaphor has become increasingly subtle.

Or maybe not so much with the subtle.

So perhaps that spirit of sexual awakening can be attributed to allegations that the X-Men: First Class set was basically a raucous sex bacchanal of near-Caligula proportions.

Check out the piece at the Daily Beast about the production nicknamed "Sex Men" by the film's crew, and read about the lascivious goings-on behind the scenes, including the mystery as to whether January Jones strutting about in her underpants for months on end has anything to do with her turning up pregnant after the film wrapped.

Congratulations January, it's a - boy?
