If you’ve ever envied Sting‘s sex life, you can stop right now. According to the singer’s daughter, her dad knows squat about Tantric sex!

Coco Sumner says her father’s legendary prowess — which was said to include eight-hour marathon sessions with his wife, Trudie Styler — was actually a tongue-in-cheek story fabricated by his pal, rocker-activist Bob Geldof.

“Bob Geldof made up this thing and it stuck — and it’s an international joke!” the 18-year-old actress moans in the new issue of the U.K.‘s Love magazine, out Monday. She adds that the fictitious story has haunted her for her entire young life.

Says Coco: “It’s embarrassing when people bring it up. I don’t really have anything to do with my parents’ sex life. They love each other. So what?”

Tales of Sting’s seduction techniques were first revealed in the 1998 biography “Sting — Demolition Man.” However, the former Police front man eventually back-pedaled, saying that any discussion of Tantra with Geldof was the result of a “bitching” session.

“We were chatting and talking about having hours of sex. It then became really a joke which went around the world like a forest fire,” Sting said.

“I’m definitely not going to deny it, or confirm it,” he then teased London‘s Evening Standard. “Yes, I do a lot of yoga. I’m not an expert on Tantra, but it’s about trying to establish everyday normal things like walking, eating and making love with an element of the sacred.”

And while Coco denies that her parents have loved each other for a very long time, Geldof is sticking to his story — but still can’t imagine why his friend would want to do anything that physical for an extended period of time.

Says Geldof: “I said to Sting, ‘Why would you want it for eight hours? It must be so boring. must have said, ‘Get on with it!’?”
