If you want to pull a drunk girl, offer to take her home and name her breasts. To get her to leave after sex, suggest she might be accidentally infected with Aids.

The author of these and other gems of relationship advice was today revealed to be the Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, as it emerged that as a young man, he wrote a personal guide to luring women into bed.

The John Bercow Guide to Understanding Women was written in 1986, when he was a 23-year-old Tory councillor in Lambeth, south London. It was published in a radical magazine for young Tories called Armageddon. Offering his own insights into what women truly want, it included advice on "how to pick up virgins" and "how to pick up refined girls". Women, he wrote, "will settle for anything that breathes and has a credit card". Picking up "drunk girls" could be done by using the line: "Maybe we could go back to your place and name your breasts." To get rid of a girl say: "Don't move, I have just broken a test tube filled with the Aids virus."

News of the young Bercow's sexual expertise came a day after the Speaker's wife, Sally, revealed her history as a "party girl". In the Evening Standard she said: "It was all very ladette – work hard, play hard." Sally Bercow, who first dated her husband when they belonged to the Oxford University Conservative Association in the 1980s, is standing for Labour in the local elections in Westminster next May. She said she gave the interview as "this has all got to come out". Her husband had mellowed since his days as a "right-wing headbanger", she said.

A spokesman for the Speaker said: "This article … in no way reflects the Speaker's views today."
