Bottom line is dancers have got a ballet cheek
FOR fans of Scotland`s national ballet troupe it was deemed simply too shocking to pass without comment. The name MiddleSex Gorge hinted at the fact Scottish Ballet`s latest production would get a bit racy. But Edinburgh theatre-goers are being warned before buying tickets for the dance company`s new show that they will see bare bums. A health warning-style note on the Festival Theatre`s programmes somewhat sternly warns them the show "features exposed male buttocks". The show is a bold step ...

Naked rambler to fight on
The so-called naked rambler has hailed his nude hike across Britain as a success and promised to continue his crusade. Stephen Gough, 44, was fully clothed on Monday and travelling back to his Hampshire home.

Kama Sutra carnival raises eyebrows
The prospect of condoms and Kama Sutra poses in a parade in Rio de Janeiro`s famed Carnival has riled the Roman Catholic hierarchy in the Brazilian city. The Academicos do Grande Rio samba school has chosen the theme "Let`s Put On a Condom, My Love" for the procession that will march in the extravaganza at the Sambadrome, center of the Bacchanalian four-day party to take place next month. The floats will feature giant figures and live couples representing Adam and ...
How to improve your sex life
SEX CAN be magical. It expresses something that nothing else can, and it is the primary way of showing love. It has a place in our lives that is at least as important as any other aspect of our relationships. Beyond recreation and procreation, sex is the time, place, means and language of knowing someone else on a level different from all others. A loving partner makes us feel a mature, well-rounded person with every chance of happiness. And in ...
Drummer ridicules sex charges
A former rock star has told a court that claims he attempted to rape a special needs teenager while giving drum lessons are ridiculous. David Holland, 55, of The Green, Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire, a former drummer for the rock band Judas Priest, denies one charge of attempted rape and five counts of indecently assaulting the young man.

The New Jersey doctor charged with killing his wife and faking a car accident to cover it up says he was the victim of a 500,000 dollars blackmail attempt by her lover - a deadbeat dad who threatened to sell tapes of their sexual encounters if he weren`t paid, according to police reports obtained by The Post. Jonathan Nyce, 54, told detectives he got two cell-phone calls last July 10 about the audio and video tapes - with the caller ...
Los Angeles gets Erotic Museum
One look at Hollywood`s newest tourist attraction and it`s easy to mistake it for any number of adult shops along the popular Walk of Fame. The nude pictures, sex toys and stag films aren`t meant to arouse but to edify. This is, after all, the Erotic Museum, which pays tribute to all things sexual, from the tame to the tawdry. It chronicles sex through the ages with nude abstracts by Pablo Picasso, erotic jade figurines from ancient China, vintage sex ...
Explicit theatre reaches Sydney
In an age where even the mundane task of opening email exposes millions of people to garish pornography, it`s becoming increasingly difficult to shock theatre audiences with depictions of sex and nudity. Puppetry Of The Penis? Ho-hum. Famous TV stars getting their gear off in The Blue Room? Yawn. Genital mutilation at the Melbourne Festival? Pass the Minties. We`ve seen it all really. But acclaimed Spanish company La Fura dels Baus begs to disagree and its controversial new show XXX ...
Court rules for Playboy in Internet dispute
A U.S. appeals court ruled on Wednesday that Playboy Enterprises Inc.`s trademark terms "playboy" and "playmate" should be protected even in Internet searches that prompt pop-up advertisements. In 1999, Playboy sued Excite Inc. and Netscape, which used Excite technology, claiming the Internet companies had infringed the trademark on "playboy" and "playmate." Playboy objected to the inclusion of those two terms in a list of 400 words, many of them explicit sexual expressions, that would trigger sex-oriented banner ads unrelated to ...
Nude cheerleader`s death plunge accidental
A weeklong trip that was supposed to celebrate a year of hard work and success for some 500 cheerleaders began on a tragic note with the death of one of their own.

Lesbian lovers tried to kill Marine 5 times
A prosecutor said in federal court Monday that two lesbian lovers planned the cold-blooded and premeditated killing of a Camp Pendleton Marine. Federal prosecutors say that Astrid Tepatti and Ebony Wood, both 21-year-olds, wanted to kill Tepatti`s husband, Marine Sgt. Stephen Tepatti, "at any cost." Both women have been charged with attempted murder and manufacturing a biological weapon. The defendants were in court Tuesday for separate detention hearings. Tepatti`s detention hearing was postponed. During Wood`s proceeding, the prosecutor said a ...
The L Word: new TV Show
Except for the politics and soft-core pornography, "The L Word," Showtime`s new series about lesbians that starts on Sunday, is old-fashioned fun - more "Melrose Place" than "Sex and the City." The show`s equivocal message does stand out, however, though perhaps not quite as much as the steamy scenes of women making love. "The L Word" has been marketed by Showtime as a kind of premium-cable Certs: a manifesto of lesbian liberation and visual candy for men. This was not ...
`Proof` Kobe accuser had sex after `rape`
Kobe Bryant`s alleged victim may have had sex with another man after she left the Los Angeles Laker star`s hotel room but before a rape exam 18 hours later. Bryant lawyer Pamela Mackey makes that allegation in a legal filing made public Tuesday, in arguing that the young woman`s prior and subsequent sexual conduct should be admissible at trial. The basis for Mackey`s allegation stems from the semen and sperm found in the yellow panties which the 19-year-old Eagle woman ...
City tries ploy to block Hustler store
Lexington`s city council took an unexpected step yesterday in the battle to keep a Hustler store from bringing more sex to the city.

In the meantime, the council directed the planning commission to create a zoning amendment that would permanently prohibit adult stores from opening along interstates. The Hustler store had been ...

Who joins nudist clubs?
WHEN Brian first visited a nudist resort he needed a bottle of schnapps just to get his gear off. A few years on, stripping down is second nature. The 64-year-old and wife Anna, 63, are regular faces at the Corio Valley Nudist Club. Most weekends you will find the Melbourne couple relaxing at the club`s camp, tucked away in scrub at Sheoaks.

Indy escorts were `clones` of NYC madam
A New York City woman is accused of operating a lucrative escort service in Indianapolis that investigators say was actually a prostitution ring that raked in nearly three-quarters of a million dollars. Investigators said Lou Ann Conley, 50, recently boasted that her business was successful because her "girls" followed standards, all wearing the same type of clothes and providing the same services. Lou Ann Conley "They`re like clones of me, and that consistency is what`s kept us in business," she ...
Students choose cybersex
According to a book titled, `Sex on campus: The naked truth about the real sex lives of college students` by Elliot and Brantley in 1997, only 45 percent of college students have safe sex every time and 76 percent of college students reported engaging in intercourse with a partner who was under the influence of drugs or alcohol - and in many cases not protecting themselves. The risks associated with unprotected sex have not changed; HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted ...
Buffy practices orgasm technique
Buffy star Alyson Hannigan has been practising her orgasm technique for the new stage version of When Harry Met Sally. The American actress is to appear opposite Luke Perry in the upcoming West End production.

Hannigan is taking over Ryan`s role and said: "I`ve been practising ...
Women`s sex drugs reach testing
Procter & Gamble is in the advanced stages of testing a drug to improve the sex drive in women that executives say may be a "blockbuster" seller. Company officials say the first-of-its-kind drug, called Intrinsa, is intended for women suffering from a loss of sexual desire as a result of menopause or surgery. The drug is being developed as a skin patch containing testosterone, a hormone that affects sexual desire in women. Company officials say if the Food and Drug ...
Chinese go for Internet sex toys
Judging from empty aisles in stores that sell sexual health products, you`d think Chinese people had no interest in sex - or at least far less than their uninhibited counterparts in the West. Such a conclusion, however, would be wrong. The fact is that the Chinese appetite for sex is as voracious as any other culture`s. It`s just that in China people are discrete when it comes to purchasing sexual products. The Internet is enabling millions in China to view ...
Ex-cultist says girls were groomed for sex
A former cult member told a jury Wednesday how the group transformed from a Muslim commune in New York to an extremist sect that groomed girls for sex with its leader, Malachi York. York, originally a Muslim cleric in Brooklyn, is on trial for molesting up to 13 girls and boys and bringing them to the United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors compound in rural Georgia for sex. The woman who testified Wednesday, now 28 years old, said York methodically broke ...
FDA nixes Inamed silicone breast implants
Inamed Corp. said U.S. regulators rejected its application to market silicone breast implants, indicating a tough road ahead if it wants to eventually bring the product to market. Shares of Inamed dropped to $42.94 in electronic trading before the market opened from their closing Nasdaq price of $49.80 on Wednesday. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration requested more information on the implants before it would review its approval application further, the company said in a statement just before midnight Eastern ...
Naked older women are "in"
I am so excited. Naked older women are "in" this year, thanks to Diane Keaton and the movie Calendar Girls. Keaton stars in Something`s Gotta Give, where she has a brief moment of nudity so that the audience can say, "Wow, she looks really good." Now here`s a trend I can sink my (false) teeth into. I call my sister. "Nude older women are in," I say excitedly. After she says, "Who is this?" I rush on. "We`re back, baby, ...
Sex therapist`s column incited Turkish bomber
Not many Americans -- and even fewer New Zealanders -- will know who Susan Block is, but for thousands of Turks, she is the authority behind rumours that American soldiers are engaged in a campaign of wholesale rape in Iraq. The allegations first surfaced, according to the Boston Globe in Yeni Safak, a leading Islamist journal. The Globe reports that an article in Yeni Safak dated October 22 said: ``In addition to the occupation and despoilation, thousands of Iraqi women ...
Viagra could help women
Viagra can do wonders for men. But a new study shows it also improves sex for some postmenopausal women. The findings come from a research team led by sexual-function gurus Jennifer R. Berman, MD, and Laura A. Berman, PhD. The placebo-controlled study, funded by Viagra maker Pfizer Inc., evaluated 202 postmenopausal women diagnosed with female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD). This disorder is defined as distress from an inability to attain or maintain sexual excitement. Half the women were treated with ...
Steven Hirsch, king of porn
Steven Hirsch has helped pornography leave back alley theaters for living rooms, hotel rooms and laptop computers. He presides over California-based Vivid Entertainment Group, the nation`s top producer of adult movies with lucrative cable, satellite, pay-per-view and video-on-demand deals, plus video sales and rentals. Hirsch won`t disclose his profits. But Hirsch`s rise to the pinnacle of pornography began in Cleveland, where his father learned the business from notorious pornographer Reuben Sturman. "Steve is a real child of the porn industry. ...
The Dangers of Douching
For years, doctors have warned women that douching is not only unnecessary but it can also be hazardous, upsetting the vagina`s natural environment of "good bacteria." Even so, the practice is still common, reports Mary Ann Iannacchione, a clinical research nurse at Duke University Medical Center, and author of a review article, "The Vagina Dialogues: Do You Douche?" that appears in the January issue of the American Journal of Nursing. Drawing on the last two National Surveys of Family Growth, ...
