In Dublin: Chinese brothels set to open up across Ireland

The Chinese brothels that have opened up in Dublin are set to take off across the country following a decision by the Director of Public Prosecutions not to prosecute two establishments operating in the capital.

As part of a Garda investigation, officers raided both establishments and in one found a man naked on a massage table.

Detectives traced the organisation of the two brothels in Dun Laoghaire to another brothel operating in the Fairview area of the north city. There they found a Chinese man in his 50s who had extensive operating details for the brothels which have sprung up across Dublin in the past two years. Most appear to be centrally organised and offer similar services.

However, following revelations in this newspaper, the women working in the brothels stopped openly offering their services and, it is understood, when a detective asked what services were on offer the girl in question made no reply other than “massage”.

The use of the euphemism rather than the open offer of sexual services appears to be the point on which the DPP has decided that it would not be possible to prosecute the cases in court.

The three young women and middle-aged man have been informed that charges are not to be brought.

As a result it seems that the traditional laws against prostitution in Ireland have fallen and so long as prostitutes do not openly offer services directly to clients at brothels they are free to operate.

The remaining vice laws that can be used concern only the promotion and making of earnings from prostitution contained in two acts of the Oireachtas passed in 1993 and 1997. These laws were used in combination to prosecute the magazine In Dublin in 2000 after it was found to be making €400,000 a year in advertising revenue from brothels in the city.

Since then the advertising of brothels has moved to the internet, though one publication in Ireland still carries up to three pages of adverts for Chinese “massage” centres.

Ironically, the new prostitution operations in Ireland have largely pushed aside the indigenous sex workers, particularly in Dublin. A former prostitute in Dublin who spoke to the Sunday Independent said that the Government and gardai are operating a form of discrimination against Dublin street walkers, who are regularly arrested.

The offence of soliciting or importuning in a street or public place for the purposes of prostitution under the 1993 Criminal Justice (Sexual Offences) Act is still regularly prosecuted by gardai, generally resulting in fines or short terms of imprisonment.

Despite these minor cases no major prosecution appears to be under consideration into the very major organised brothel operations in Ireland which are generally controlled from abroad.

In Canada: All men watch porn, scientists find

Scientists at the University of Montreal were conducting a study comparing the views of men in their 20s who had never been exposed to pornography with regular users.  But their project stumbled at the first hurdle when they failed to find a single man who had not been seen it.

“We started our research seeking men in their 20s who had never consumed pornography,” said Professor Simon Louis Lajeunesse. “We couldn’t find any.”  Although hampered in its original aim, the study did examined the habits of those young men who used pornography – which would appear to be all of them.

Prof Lajeunesse interviewed 20 heterosexual male university students who consumed pornography, and found on average, they first watched pornography when they were 10 years old.  Around 90 per cent of consumption was on the internet, while 10 per cent of material came from video stores.

Single men watched pornography for an average of 40 minutes, three times a week, while those in relationships watched it 1.7 times a week for around 20 minutes.  The study found that men watched pornography that matched their own image of sexuality, and quickly discarded material they found offensive or distasteful.

Prof Lajeunesse said pornography did not have a negative effect on men’s sexuality.  “Not one subject had a pathological sexuality,” he said. “In fact, all of their sexual practices were quite conventional.  “Pornography hasn’t changed their perception of women or their relationship, which they all want to be as harmonious and fulfilling as possible,” he added.

Woman discovers she’s allergic to her husband… on their wedding night

In America: A new wife was given a nasty wedding night surprise when she discovered she was allergic to her husband’s sperm.

Mike and Julie Boyde had been going out for two years when they got married and decided to have unprotected sex for the first time that evening. But almost immediately the bride was in unbearable pain – and eventually they discovered it was because of Mike’s sperm.

[Mike and Julie Boyde on their wedding day - her body kills her husband's sperm]

Now they have been forced to abandon their plans of conceiving a baby as it seems her own body destroys the sperm.

Mike, 27, and Julie, 26, from Ambridge, Pennsylvania, started going out while at university and became engaged two years later, finally having a dream wedding in 2005.

But following the reception, as they enjoyed their first night as a married couple, things went badly wrong. ‘Before we were always very careful and used protection – this time we didn’t,’ said Julie, 26. ‘We figured, “we’re married, if we get pregnant, we get pregnant”.’

[The couple's dreams of having children were shattered - they now hope to adopt]

But she added: ‘Pretty much right after I knew something was not right because I was in a lot of pain. ‘The pain that I was feeling was inside, like somebody sticking needles up inside of me like a real painful burning. ‘It was really scary.’ The pain, and at times blisters, would go on for weeks, she said.

‘On a scale of one to ten, it’s pretty much ten,’ she said, describing the pain.

After numerous tests and doctors visits, the couple were eventually told that Julie suffers from seminal plasma hypersensitivity.

Dr Andrew Goldstein said: ‘The body recognizes the sperm as a foreign protein, like it would recognize a peanut allergen or a pollen so you have swelling, you have itching, you have inflammation of the nerve endings.’

It means that her body attacks Mike’s sperm, making it inactive.

The discovery shattered their plans to conceive.  But now, after a treatment failed, they have started adoption proceedings. The couple are featured in a Discovery Health documentary called Strange Sex, airing in the U.S. this week.

Oral sex keeps male fruit bats keen

Female short-nosed fruit bats have been observed performing fellatio on their partners during copulation. Mating pairs spent more time copulating if the female did so.

Cynopterus sphinx live in south-east Asia. The males often roost with small groups of females. Min Tan of the Guangdong Entomological Institute in Guangzhou, China, and colleagues captured 30 male and 30 female short-nosed fruit bats in Yuexiu Park in Guangzhou City and observed their mating behaviour in enclosures.

The bats copulate dorso-ventrally, with the male mounting the female from behind. During mating, the females reached over to lick the base of the male’s penis in 14 of the 20 pairs that copulated. The tip of the penis had already penetrated the female’s vagina, and the males did not withdraw when the female licked the base of the penis.

Both the duration of an individual copulation, and the overall time a mating pair spent copulating, were increased if the female performed fellatio.

In America: cops arrest stepdad for shooting boyfriend over sex

A Central Florida man was arrested Thursday on suspicion of shooting an 18-year-old who was having sex with his 16-year-old stepdaughter.

Wade Edwards, 41, of Apopka, was arrested on charges of attempted second-degree murder after allegedly shooting Julian Harp. According to Apopka police, Edwards found his stepdaughter having sex with Harp at about 2:45 p.m. inside a home located in the 2000 block of Rafton Road.

Police said Edwards armed himself and confronted Harp, shooting him four times in the pelvic area. Harp suffered non-life-threatening injuries, police said.Edwards called 911 to report that he had shot Harp.”I saw someone in my house, and I just shot him. He was inside my house, ma’am,” Edwards told a 911 dispatcher.

Edwards asked the dispatcher how to help the teen. Police said Edwards claimed that Harp “pounced out at him” and he felt forced to shoot. But police said that was inconsistent with what his daughter and Harp told detectives. Edwards was denied bond in a court hearing Friday morning.

Austrian scientists: swallowing sperm slows down the aging process

Two Austrian scientist Frank Madeo and Tobias Eisenberg of the Karl-Franzens University the Austrian city Graz, coordinated 29 researchers of 11 univerisities. Their findings have been published yesterday in the international research magazine ‘Nature Cell Biology’.

The anti-aging substance spermidine is in a highly amount present in male sperm. That substance helps to repair cells and slows down the aging process. Spermidine is present in all the bodily cells, but the concentration declines during the years. Until now, the substance was considered only to be important for cellular growth.

Researcher Eisenberg is very enthusiastic about his findings. “This could mean that we found the Holy Grail of the anti-aging process”, he said. The results can also be of importance for clinical research, such as age related diseases as Alzheimer and Parkinson.

Spermidine doesn’t only come from sperm. But spermidine can also be found in grapefruit, wheat grain and soybeans.

Naked American burglar breaks into house, cooks meal and showers

A naked American burglar from Louisiana breaks into house, cooks meal and showers.

SLIDELL, La. —  Police say a naked man who appeared to be drunk or on drugs broke into a Louisiana home, cooked himself a meal and took a shower before leaving, wrapped only in a sheet.

The 61-year-old homeowner was away visiting her son at the time her suburban New Orleans house was allegedly broken into, according to FOX 8.

Slidell Police Capt. Kevin Foltz says a video surveillance system at the home captured the naked man using a garden hose to shower outside the house around 1 a.m.

The in-the-buff burglar then tried knocking on the front door, police said. When there was no response, he went to the back of the house and wrapped himself in a trash bag, according to FOX 8.

The man allegedly broke several windows, entered the house and ransacked it before cooking himself a meal, having several drinks and showering again.

Police chief Freddy Drennan is hoping for the public’s help in finding the naked suspect.

Tufts University: No sex in room while roommate is present

A new policy at Tufts University prohibits students in dorms from having sex while their roommate is in the room, according to the university’s 2009-2010 student handbook.

The Massachusetts university’s formal rule also bars so-called “sexiling” — exiling a roommate from the room so the other roommate can engage in sexual activity.

The new policy “is really about consideration and respect for others and the need for students to be mindful of their roommates’ need for privacy, study and sleep,” university spokeswoman Kim Thurler told CNN.

She said while she did not have an exact number of complaints from students about their roommates’ behavior, “over the last few years, the Office of Residential Life and Learning received approximately a dozen expressions of concern about this issue.”

Callie Morton, a freshman at Tufts, told CNN affiliate WHDH-TV, “If someone is going to go and have sex while their roommate is in the room, I mean I think that’s kind of gross. I think it’s kind of funny that they would have to make a rule about it.”

The new guidelines for students hosting overnight guests say, “You may not engage in sexual activity while your roommate is present in the room. And sexual activity within your assigned room should not ever deprive your roommate(s) of privacy, study, or sleep time.”

Other students agree that the new rule is going to be difficult to implement.

“I don’t think it’s something that can really be enforced per se,” an unidentified Tufts University student told WHDH. “I don’t understand how that’s going to work.”

Thurler explained that if a problem is identified and brought to the attention of residence officials, the university will help the affected student have a conversation with his/her roommate to address the situation.

“In some cases, we might intervene on behalf of the student,” Thurler said, “and speak with their roommate directly and explain what is expected of them while they live in the residence halls.” Thurler wouldn’t comment on possible disciplinary action by the university if a student breaks the rules.
