RENOWNED physicist Professor Stephen Hawking is allegedly a regular at a California sex club.

The author of A Brief History Of Time has been seen at Freedom Acres swingers club in the Devore neighbourhood of San Bernardino.

According to a source who has been a member for nearly half a decade, the 70-year-old visits the club with a handful of nurses and assistants and has naked women dance on top of him.

The source said: "I have seen Stephen Hawking at the club more than a handful of times. He arrives with an entourage of nurses and assistants.

"Last time I saw him, he was in the back 'play area' lying on a bed fully clothed with two naked women gyrating all over him."

Hawking - wheelchair-bound due to a long-time battle with Lou Gehrig's disease - has his staff standing nearby watching while he is with the women.

The source added: "I have spoken to him on several occasions and have shared drinks with people in his group. He'll even take photos with people in the club as long as it's in a neutral area."

Hawking is known to have been a fan of strip clubs in the past. In 2008, he posed for a picture with Peter Stringfellow in one of his London lapdancing clubs.

At the time, Stringfellow wrote on his website: "I asked him how he felt about having a conversation with me about the universe or if he would prefer to watch the girls.

"His answer was quite simply, 'The girls'.

"Of course, this was through his computerised voice box but the guy just simply blew me away."

Hawking has been married and divorced twice and has three children.

Asked to comment on the sex club allegations, Hawking's agent Robin Morgan said: "Stephen has a wicked sense of humour."
