Mar 20th, 2010 at 3:00PM: The beholder's eye just lost some of its decision-making power. A court in the Netherlands has ruled that private sex shows, among the major draws for Americans looking to let loose in a permissive culture ready to exploit repressed visitors, are not art. This is a departure from a 2008 ruling that called the gyrating in private booths cultural.

Mar 7th, 2010 at 9:00AM: Where is a flight attendant uniform synonymous with high-touch service? Well, you may encounter JAL duds in a Japanese sex club. Your hostess may not keep it on long, but you'll be happy to know that your safety is her first priority, whether you're dressed or not. When JAL fell into bankruptcy, the risk that flight attendant uniforms would fall into the wrong hands skyrocketed.
It seems that ...Second chance for swinger cruise
Feb 9th, 2010 at 1:00PM: It's not the waves that are rocking the boat. This year, YOLO Cruises is bringing back its swingers trip. Since you only live once (YOLO), the reasoning goes, you should get out on the water and work up a sweat.
YOLO's last Swingers Cruise trip was a bit controversial, but that hasn't stopped the company from giving it another run. It's chartered a Carnival vessel for a three-night voyage to ...Canadian restaurant encourages patrons to have sex in its bathrooms on Valentine's day
Feb 5th, 2010 at 8:30AM: Forget chocolate and flowers - how about treating your loved one to sex in a restaurant bathroom?
You'll need to travel to Toronto for the experience, but Mildred's Temple Kitchen has announced that they'll encourage any of their guests to use their bathrooms for some Valentine's day nooky.
Now, I'm no prude, but I don't think I'd be too comfortable standing in line with other couples as we ...Winter weather doesn't deter amorous Brits

Dec 10th, 2009 at 2:30PM: When you think of art exhibits, you probably don't think of scenes of group sex, gigantic phalli, and barnyard animals, but the Eros exhibition ain't your grandma's art show. In fact, when this art was made, your grandma wouldn't be born for another two thousand years. The Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens, Greece, has just opened "Eros: From Hesiod's Theogony to Late Antiquity". This exhibition is ...South African sex workers call for decriminalization during World Cup

SWEAT's website documents numerous cases of harassment by police and the public. SWEAT ...British backpackers spreading sexually transmitted diseases
Oct 23rd, 2009 at 10:30AM: "No sex please, we're British." That old joke has been proven wrong by a new medical study that found British backpackers in Australia are picking up more than just short-term partners; they're picking up infections that they spread around Australia and back home. A survey of 1,008 backpackers at youth hostels in Sydney and Cairns revealed that 24 percent of British backpackers had unprotected sex ...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.

Oct 13th, 2009 at 3:30PM: A flight attendant who used to work on Oprah's private jet is suing for more than $300,000 in damages, claiming that allegations that she had sex with the pilot are false. The story is, as these stories usually are, convoluted and filled with he-said-she-said contradictions. The skinny is: attendant Corrine Gehrls supposedly had "sexual contact" with the pilot outside his cockpit while Oprah was ...Denmark: the land of promiscuity
Sep 17th, 2009 at 12:00PM: Denmark promotes promiscuity?! Well, that's the accusation that caused the country's tourism agency to yank an ad from YouTube. The country, which has a reputation for being a bit more open than we're used to seeing in the United States, used a three-minute video clip to promote the destination, but featured a blond woman and an infant, claiming the latter came from an encounter with a foreign ...Aruba's Westin Resort offers $300 for your baby
Aug 29th, 2009 at 12:00PM: I can understand the idea of a babymoon, a vacation taken right before a new baby is born. Enjoying one last (for a while anyway) trip before your life becomes a crazy blur of diapers and late-night feedings almost seems medically necessary. But taking a vacation with the sole purpose of getting knocked up - a procreation vacation - well, that sounds a little too "desperate marketing ploy" to me. ...Sex Tourism becoming increasingly popular with older women
Aug 15th, 2009 at 2:00PM: digg_url = 'http://digg.com/travel_places/Sex_Tourism_becoming_increasingly_popular_with_older_women'; When you think of a "sex tourist", you probably think of a dirty old man in Asia, molesting young boys. As it turns out, these filthy old men now have some competition.
International organization "Defense for Children-EPCAT" is sounding the alarm bell for a disturbing new trend in the world ...Galley Gossip: The mile high club - a question and a story

There's a question I'm always asked whenever someone finds out I'm a flight attendant, a question that never ceases to amaze and simultaneously makes me cringe regardless of how often I hear it, a question about you guessed it - the mile high club.
...NYC best city for singles (if you own a computer)
Aug 2nd, 2009 at 2:00PM: Looking for love lust on your next vacation? Your next trip should be to New York, which has knocked Atlanta out of the top spot as the best city in the country for singles. And, why wouldn't it? You have more than 8 million people chasing their dreams, so the choices are endless. There's one of everything, so in one night, you could meet every flavor of scumbag available. But, there's an upside ...Sexologist has carry-on inspected, TSA keeps cool
Jul 19th, 2009 at 5:00PM: Robocop sets off alarms. Of course, this "Robocop" is the nickname sexologist David Steinberg has for an 8-inch solid brass sex toy. Even a TSA official could see that one coming. This device was stored safely at home, but Steinberg's bag of goodies still attracted inspector attention at the airport in Seattle.
For once, it may have been prudent to respond, "No," when asked if the security ..."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.
