Oz Dating

There have been many reports that the online dating industry has grown during the world economic downturn, or at least remained strong. Adult texting seems to be similarly immune to the economic forces sending many other businesses bust, if the lavish party thrown by this West Australia-based entrepeneur is any guide.

A blaze started in a venue hosting a swinger's party in Montreal and firemen had to rescue the party-goers, several of whom were naked.

An even like that shouldn't be funny, but for some reason it is.

A British woman called off her wedding when she discovered that the groom had starred in an x-rated movie only weeks before the big day.

People get discovered even when they are trying to conceal their sexual past. But this guy was being public about it. Yet he still thought he wouldn't be found out. Or maybe he thought it wouldn't be an issue for his wife-to-be?

Either way it doesn't reflect very well on his character!

I posted earlier about how women are often attracted to dangerous men. Here's another example:

Charlotte Lindstrom is a gorgeous young Swedish socialite who moved to Australia and became involved with an alleged drug dealer. She was convicted on conspiracy to murder charges and is now testifying against him.

Rugby players are not renowned for their verbal skills. Yet it seems they've just contributed a new word to the Macquarie Dictionary. The term is "bunning", and describes the act of group sex.

In the wake of the Matthew Johns scandal, there has been much condemnation of the blokey, sexist culture of elite rugby and footy, and how the players degrade women in group sex acts. However, many women who participate in these gang bangs don't think of themselves as victims at all. On the contrary, they say these experiences make them feel powerful.

And a recent survey conducted by dating site Red Hot Pie confirms this trend. Results showed that women enjoy group sex as much as men.

An advertisement placed by the Salvation Army featuring the story of a sex worker has been pulled because it offended prostitutes.

Dinkum political organization the Australian Sex Party is now campaigning over in Perth. Party convener Fiona Patten points out that while the people of WA have very relaxed attitudes to sex and related issues, the two main political parties (Labor and Liberal) have consistently ignored this.

Maybe this has something to do with the state's geographical isolation.

Many people might think that it's almost impossible to get thrown out of a swingers resort for "inappropriate behaviour". The very practise of partner swapping itself is widely held to be inappropriate, after all.

However, such an eviction did take place recently, at a swingers resort in Queensland.

We are all familiar with the notion that men want more sex than women generally, and that marriage tends to kill the sex drive, particularly in women. Of course, men's frustration at not getting enough sex in marriage has long been used by humorists for comic effect.

Many people would argue that the situation is not that simple; that women are just as lusty as men, even in marriage. But according to Australian sex therapist Bettina Arndt, it seems the stereotypes are very accurate. She has done a lot of research on this topic, and included her often depressing findings in a new book.
