Jan 31st, 2012 at 10:00AM: Giorgis looked like he didn't have long to live.
Aged about 70, he was a tall man who appeared shorter because he stooped so much that his head hung almost below his shoulders. He was thin and walked with a limp that showed he suffered from sciatica. His clothes--yellow sweater, gray trousers, and brown dress shoes--were old and faded but immaculately clean. His gray hair was neatly combed over ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Aug 2nd, 2011 at 10:30AM: A large number of budget flights from Eastern Europe and other parts of the world to the Netherlands has created a ring of prostitution at Amsterdam airport, giving a new meaning to the word layover. Prostitutes are flying into
Schiphol Airport and using the hotels in the international transit area to meet with clients without going through customs, often making a hefty profit even after ...Valentine's Day tribute: Sex museums around the world
Feb 14th, 2011 at 10:30AM:
Ah, Valentine's Day. It's a loaded holiday, one with high expectations. This year, though, I got into the spirit of things: I decided to rustle up a list of the world's great sex museums. Even if you can't pay a visit, their websites are informative and loaded with photos of exhibits. And best of all? You can indulge all by yourself, no relationship needed.
Erotic Heritage Museum, Las Vegas ...Thailand's new PC Air first airline in country to hire transsexual flight attendants
Jan 31st, 2011 at 3:00PM: Being the hostess with the mostess just got more competitive. The Sydney Morning Herald reports that Thailand's newest airline, PC Air, is raising the bar on airline personnel. It's the first Thai airline to hire transsexual flight attendants, as part of a pioneering effort to redefine equal rights within the industry. PC Air is slated to debut in April, running charter flights across Asia. The ...Spain cracks down on hookers, requires vests for streetwalkers
Oct 26th, 2010 at 1:00PM: It's not the same as Amsterdam, and it's much different from flipping through the Yellow Pages (do people still do that) here in New York for an attractive "escort service." Spain does things differently, especially outside Els Alamus (in Catalonia). If you want to find some temporary companionship, look for the yellow fluorescent vests ... at least, that's what The Telegraph says.
The ...Get off a cruise and into custody: Passenger wrongly nailed as hooker
Sep 9th, 2010 at 2:00PM: What do you do when your mom is arrested for prostitution? Well, you probably claim that she didn't do it. After all, she's your mom, and nobody admits to guilt on these things anyway. If you were Paola Londono's kid, you'd actually be right to proclaim her innocence.
Thanks to a clerical error in the Osceola County Sheriff's office, Londono, from Orlando, was arrested when she stepped off a ...Philly no longer top spot for airline hotel hookers
Aug 20th, 2010 at 12:00PM: It's not often a worker at the airport makes you feel good ... and it seems like the party's over for the good people passing through the City of Brotherly Love.
The police ended the fun by arresting nine people this week. They're being called a "prostitution ring," but that just seems so negative. Rather, they appear to me to be dedicated to putting smiles on faces in airport hotels.
When's ...The seedy side of Istanbul
Jul 20th, 2010 at 4:30PM:
Turkey isn't all mosques and markets or comfy long-distance buses. It may come as a surprise that prostitution is legal in this predominantly Muslim country and drugs, while illegal, are a brisk business. Like any big city, there are nice neighborhoods and sketchy ones in Istanbul, and most tourists will rarely stumble into the areas with bad reputations, but some are within stumbling distance ...Erotic bathhouse art in Pompeii
May 18th, 2010 at 11:00AM: Visitors to the ancient Roman city of Pompeii are already familiar with the eye-popping art in the brothel, but most miss another naughty site--Pompeii's suburban baths.
The changing room in these baths had cubbyholes for storing clothing. Each one was decorated with lively scenes of straight sex, group sex, oral sex, and just plain acrobatic sex. The example to the right, with two men and one ...Galley Gossip: "Flight attendant" prostitution ring busted (in more ways than one)
Mar 5th, 2010 at 9:30AM: Sex sells. That's a fact.
But did you know that sex stories involving flight attendants will sell even more? It's true. Take for instance the flight attendant prostitution ring bust story that's been making the rounds. The travel site Jaunted even asked me to comment on it. Honestly, I really didn't want my name to be associated with a prostituting group of flight attendants, but then, knowing ...Male prostitutes coming to Nevada
Jan 7th, 2010 at 10:30AM: A Nevada brothel plans to be the first in the state to offer male prostitutes. The Shady Lady Ranch, 150 miles north of Las Vegas, is now taking applications for the position of male sex worker. Applicants must be between 21 and 40 years of age, have a good attitude, and be "service oriented". While male visitors to Nevada have long enjoyed the state's legal prosititution, there hasn't been ...South African sex workers call for decriminalization during World Cup
Dec 5th, 2009 at 4:30PM: As South Africa gears up for the 2010 World Cup, the country's sex workers are starting a campaign to have prostitution decriminalized. The drive is being spearheaded by the Sex Worker Education and Advocacy Taskforce (SWEAT), an organization that strives to protect the health and human rights of sex workers. SWEAT's website documents numerous cases of harassment by police and the public. SWEAT ...Berlin brothel to bikers: ride up and save!
Oct 16th, 2009 at 4:00PM: digg_url = 'http://digg.com/odd_stuff/Brothel_In_Berlin_Gives_Rebate_On_Sex_If_You_Come_On_Bike'; The travel and hospitality industry has tried so many ways to go green – from trying to wash fewer sheets and towels to using organic products in spas – that you might start to wonder if it's running out of options. Well, if that is a concern, it's probably time to look to the world's ...Amsterdam invests millions to clean up the Red Light district
Sep 6th, 2009 at 11:00AM: Amsterdam has long been a bit of asordid playground - it is one of the only places in the world where you can go to legally smoke some pot and visit a prostitute. Because of its very liberal laws, Amsterdam created a pretty bad image of itself. To many people, the first thing they think of when you mention Amsterdam is not its many canals and beautiful architecture, but hookers and weed. It's the ...Unsurprising news of the day: Berlusconi in yet another scandal
Jul 26th, 2009 at 10:00AM: Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has been taking a lot of flack lately, what with allegations of corruption and dictatorial leanings, his divorce, and his penchant for hiring attractive women for important positions. Now he's got to deal with charges that he's covering up archaeological remains on one of his many properties.
The accusations stem from secret tapes made by call girl ...Angry hookers protest ad costs
Jun 3rd, 2009 at 4:00PM: Prostitutes in New South Wales are mad. Escalating advertising costs in local papers have prompted these street-walkers to take to the ... um ... streets. The Scarlet Alliance thus protested outside the NSW Parliament House, fighting for anti-discrimination laws to protect their rights. In addition to advertising, they want better treatment from banks, lenders and local councils.
Sex work is ..."Rule of 3" suffering in Thailand's red light districts
May 29th, 2009 at 6:00PM: The bar girls in Patpong, a destination for so-called "sex travelers," have a basic rule: three inches (duh), three minutes (duh), 3,000 baht (that's around $87).This year, they can add another "3" to it, one third. That's roughly how far tourism revenues are expected to fall in Thailand this year. A projected 35 percent drop means less business and less income in what is largely recognized as one ...Vancouver hookers get media training for Olympics
May 26th, 2009 at 5:00PM: A magnifying class will be held over Vancouver from February 12 to February 28 for the Winter Olympics, and Vancouver's prostitutes want to put their best feet forward. To prepare for the influx of business and – media onslaught – Prostitution Alternatives Counselling and Education Society (PACE) is helping the city's sex worker population understand what to expect.
The Canadian agency ...Hookers and artists try to coexist in Amsterdam
May 5th, 2009 at 8:00AM: Amsterdam doesn't want some businesses to grow. It seems unusual in a recession (and yes, the Netherlands is feeling it, too), but I guess the situation isn't so dire that they can't be picky over there. So, the locals are fighting the business of naked people with the business of art – which clearly has no history of portraying the uncovered human form (feel free to chortle).
The city of ...Satisfy your lust in Baghdad (finally!)
Apr 20th, 2009 at 8:00AM: According to the NY Times, Baghdad is getting safer, and people are looking to have a good time (though, this does stand in stark contrast to the suicide bombing I reported a few weeks ago). So, if you find yourself in Iraq's capital, stop by a nightclub, order a drink and nail a prostitute. For the best results, go to Saddoun Street, where you'll have plenty of choices.
Or, you can dash off to ...
