Consensual sex in private is considered no one else's business in most Western countries now. That's a good, sensible law, and it holds in most cases.
But occasionally, the definition of "private" is open to dispute. And that can have serious ramifications.
Take the case of a swinger's party held in a hotel bar in the USA. It was infiltrated by undercover cops, and the organizers have been charged because it was legally defined as a public place.

Here's another story in which the gulf between urban and rural lifestyles features heavily: The reality dating show The Farmer wants a Wife has an interesting premise: Get eligible bachelors from the Australian countryside and pair them up with young women from the city. Here's another aspect of the matchmaking industry in which experts can offer their advice for a fee: dating site profile writing. Dating sites and agencies put a lot of thought into the means by which their members can make contact, get to know each other, and hopefully pair up. That makes sense, since if these techniques prove to be effective and popular revenue goes up considerably. Many people using social networking and dating sites are justifiably concerned about people using fake identities on these sites. Some of the major sites have beefed up security considerably as a result, but one called Meezoog seems have taken things a bit further. They have created "Trust Dating", which the writer of this article says "sounds an awful lot like your friends setting you up, with your family getting their two cents in". One thing that has always amused me is just how many different kinds of coaches there are now. You can hire a financial coach, a life coach, and now a dating coach. Some cops have been stood down after being snapped in compromising positions with erotically dressed young women at an S&M themed Hookers and Deviates Ball in Darwin. Read an interesting article recently about how more and more people who were childhood sweethearts are using the internet to reconnect decades later (only in print, so I can't link to it, unfortunately). The success rate for these relationships is very high, apparently. I've always been amazed at the extent to which some people are happy to deceive others and betray their trust. Take the case of Roderick Sangster from Perth, Scotland. He committed forgery and bigamy, emotionally and financially devastating at least two women. |
