Brisbane fraudster deceived wife and lover

3/17/2013

0 Comments

 
It's fascinating how so many people can lead a double life, with even those closest to them not having even the slightest clue about it. Access to vast sums of money can be so tempting to some that they indulge their fantasies without any regard for morality, law, or the damage such actions may cause those around them. And once they start on this road, they often just keep going until they get caught!

Take the case of this Brisbane businessman:

DAMIAN O'Carrigan was outwardly a devoted husband, father and a trusted manager with one of the nation's biggest firms.

He had also siphoned $20 million from his employer over more than a decade, while having secret affairs and building his own property and racing empire.


Much of the money that he gained illegally was spent on a high priced call girl:

For eight years Belinda Leonard was the secret lover of Leighton Contractors finance manager Damian O'Carrigan, attending to his every beck and call, court documents reveal.

In return, he lavished her with extraordinary gifts, including a 21ha property, a new house and car, overseas trips and the unfettered use of a credit card.

Ms Leonard used the credit card to rack up an estimated $1.4 million in bills, it is claimed.


Ironically, just as he was deceiving his wife about this clandestine affair, the call girl herself seemed to have no idea about where he was getting all this money from.

Amazing that someone could keep going for years with such secretive behaviour. Money, and sex are powerful drugs indeed!

Gillard Government plagued by sex-related scandals

8/21/2012

0 Comments

 
It's interesting that the AWU scandal now plaguing Aussie PM Julia Gillard had its genesis in a sexual relationship that she had with alleged fraudster Bruce Wilson many years ago. If she did not have this relationship and her professional conduct had been exactly the same it seems unlikely that this scandal would have built up such a head of steam now.

Then there's the Craig Thomson affair, which is also in the news. That saga relates to his alleged use of union funds to procure services from prostitutes.

This kind of thing keeps happening the world over. It seems that at any given time there's at least one government being threatened by problems caused by the sex life of one or more of its members.

Clearly, sex and political power are inextricably linked. There's that great line from Henry Kissinger: "Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac." He meant that it was an aphrodisiac for women. But it seems to make men a lot more libidinous as well.

In the case of Julia Gillard the problem seems almost inverted. Her past sexual relations indirectly threaten her present authority.

In any case, that link is a two edge sword: Sex is always causing problems for the powerful!

Aussie study: Men's testosterone levels not linked to age

6/14/2011

0 Comments

 
Australian researchers seem to have just disproved a long held assumption about men and their testosterone levels. In the past, it was widely thought that these levels dropped inexorably with age, leading to an inevitable lowering of the sex drive. But the latest findings suggest this only happens in men whose general health is getting worse.

The fact that this lowering of the libido is so widespread implies something about society. There must be a lot of older blokes out there whose health is declining for various reasons. Of course men are notorious for not looking after themselves. And they do seem to get worse in this regard as the years wear on. But it can't just be that.

Perhaps it is related to men's career progression. They do tend to do less physical work the older they get. That is understandable, since some jobs are done far better by fit young blokes. But this means that they often end up in office jobs working quite long hours. These hours get longer, and more stressful if they are climbing up the career ladder, too. Subsequently they end up stressed out, sedentary and overweight, with no time to exercise. No wonder their health deteriorates!

Mick Hucknall's apology to women

12/4/2010

0 Comments

 
Mick Hucknall has apologized to the countless women he slept with at the height of his fame. This is quite a remarkable thing for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it's odd that any bloke would feel guilty about it - particularly one who is a performer. They are more egocentric than most people, after all.

And secondly, it's quite amazing that he managed to actually do what he now feels so ashamed of. He's hardly handsome. But then it just goes to show the power of celebrity. And he's certainly a talented singer with a very distinctive voice. Clearly a lot of young women found these qualities powerfully attractive.

Violent sex fantasy became reality in Melbourne

11/10/2010

1 Comment

 
It would be nice to think that sex and violence were two completely separate drives. But the sad fact is that they are often linked together. The obvious example is in the case of rape. Then there is the fact that so many serial killers are driven by bizarre sexual fantasies as much as by anything else.

Of course the vast majority of people aren't sex criminals. Still, lots of couples do indulge in fantasies that involve violence. Most of the time they don't go any further with them. But sometimes they act them out, which seems to have happened in a crime committed early this year in Melbourne. The alleged perpetrator of a knifing in Fitzroy said that planning the attack on his lover's husband had improved his sex life with the woman.

Financial gain also appears to have been a motive in this case. But it seems the sexual thrill the lovers were getting from their fantasies had a lot to do with the crime ultimately being committed. It's not just love that can make people do crazy and destructive things. Sex can too!

Hugh Hefner remains unrepentant

8/1/2010

0 Comments

 
Hugh Hefner has been interviewed by Melbourne's Herald Sun newspaper. He will certainly have angered feminists yet again with his comment that "women are sex objects".

Still, his unreconstructed attitudes to women certainly haven't made him any less popular with the many beautiful girls he spends his days and nights cavorting with. His obvious hedonism hasn't done any harm to his health, either! Even his worst enemies would have to admit he's in very fine shape for a man in his eighties.

New Zealand women deemed world's most promiscuous

3/21/2010

0 Comments

 
An online poll has indicated that Kiwi women are the world's most promiscuous. The reasons for this are manifold, it seems. One view is that it's something to do with New Zealand men being bad at picking up women in bars, meaning that the women have to be more sexually aggressive themselves. Another is that it's because of the rise internet dating.

Amanda Knox, Jaimee Grubbs and the power of beauty

12/8/2009

Cloe to a year ago the murder trial of Amanda Knox had only just started, yet it was already garnering a lot of media interest. That clearly had a lot to do with her sexual attractiveness.

Recently, as the trial culminated with a guilty verdict, the story has been all over over the mainstream media. Hers is also one of the most searched for names on Google. Another sexy young siren called Jaimee Grubbs - who was involved in a much less serious moral transgression involving Tiger Woods - also makes that list.

Why beautiful women like nerdy men

10/31/2009

0 Comments

 
Most people find the idea of a sexy, beautiful women in a relationship with a geeky, physically unimpressive man as kind of strange and unlikely. I think that's why a show like Beauty and the Geek manages to draw so many viewers - they find it kind of weirdly compelling, like a bearded lady in a sideshow!

But the reality is that there are quite a few nerdy, plump and just plain ugly men who consistently manage to attract sexy stunners half their age. And here's an interesting article about how they manage to do it.

It seems that their intelligence, power and confidence are major factors. The women also believe that these men are a safer bet in terms of commitment, since - unlike hunky young guys - they will tend to get less sexual offers from beautiful women. But knowing what men are like regardless of their looks, I think this is probably a false hope.
