Free Hotel For Sex

A Swedish porn king is set to franchise as many as 100 five-star hotels around the world and let hotel guests stay free.

In exchange for staying free, the hotel guests would give the hotel the right to broadcast their sexual activities to paying customers live over the Web.

According to preliminary figures, the numbers could be staggering. The research was done at more than a dozen swingers' clubs around Barcelona but the porn king believes that the hotel has to be for both swingers and non-swingers in order to keep the style and class of the hotel. Stay tuned.

Topless Measure Voted Down

Amid all the midterm election issues in the United States last week, there was a vote that struck a blow for gender equality.

Voters in Pittsfield, Massachusetts shot down a measure that would have given the same rights to females as males when it comes to topless.

Around seventy percent of the voters rejected a measure that would have allowed women to walk around town topless.

The nonbinding question urged the district's state representative to introduce legislation amending the state's nudity definition.

Under the proposal, females of any age would be allowed to be unclothed from the waist up in public anywhere males are allowed to be similarly undressed.

Organizations such as GoTopless.org have urged cities to pass measure to allow women to exercise their freedom to go topless just as men.

Currently such cities as Boulder, Colorado, South Beach, Miami Beach, Florida, and Portland, Oregon are allowing women to exercise their topless rights.

In addition, we can't forget such events as Mardi Gras and Fantasy Fest. We will keep you abreast of further developments.

World Cup Predictions Wrong

The world cup held in South Africa this past summer saw no significant increase in the sex industry's demand despite alarmist projections before the games.

However, Reuters reports that a survey of 663 sex workers found little change in their average number of clients per week. There were also concerns that HIV could be spread, due to high rates of the virus in the country. However, the surveyed workers reported that 99% of men used a condom.

In Canada, Manitoba is following the lead of Ontario in demanding that online service Craigslist stop carrying ads for sex-trade workers in Canada.

Critics of Craigslist's erotic services section allege that underage girls are among those being sold for sex in the ads.

A group of Canadian attorneys led by the Justice Minister will write a letter to Craigslist "in the hope that they'll voluntarily pull those ads."

The passage reads as follows, "That night she cradled me in her arms and soothed me; told me what I needed to be told; strengthened me ... On that night of 12 May 1994 I needed that love [she] gave me, selfishly," he wrote."I devoured it to give me strength. I was an animal following my instinct."

Prostitutes And Trees

Sex News Around The World heads to Italy where authorities in the Abruzzo region of central Italy are prepared to combat prostitution by deforestation methods.

Apparently local law enforcement and politicians have fought prostitution in this area for decades in which a stretch of forested road has been a haven for the sex trade.

The forested area runs inland for more than 10 miles from the Adriatic coast alongside the river Tronto. Despite cameras, raids, and 24-hour patrols, the mayors of towns near the road have seen no progress.

The regional government's public works chief announced the move and agreed with provincial and municipal representatives to cut down all the vegetation "around and along the banks [of the river Tronto]", in which the prostitutes ply their trade.

Three environmental groups said that the scheme would destroy 28 hectares (69 acres) of woodland vital to local ecosystems, saying the only crime of the thousands of trees on the local authorities' hit list had been to "offer with their fronds shelter and intimacy to sex slaves".
