Child Sex Boom Fueled by Poverty ( Part 1 )

BANGKOK, Thailand — Narisaraporn Asipong, a matronly social worker at the “Mercy Center” shelter met 8-year-old Niran (a pseudonym) five years ago in Klong Toey, Bangkok’s largest concentration of slum communities.

“His step-father was beating him so he was scared to go home,” says Asipong, who has worked with street children for the last seven years. “He came with me to Mercy Center and I enrolled him in school.” A year later, Niran returned home because he missed his mother. “One day, I saw him on the streets again,” she says. “He looked very skinny and unhealthy.”

Asipong was not surprised when she heard that Niran was living with an older man who offered him food, money and video games in exchange for sexual favors. “There are groups of people who take advantage of children and sexually exploit them,” says Asipong. “The children get tricked easily because of promises of quick money.”

Niran told Asipong he was sick, and had HIV/AIDS. The United Nations estimates that 1 percent of Thailand's population is infected with the HIV virus — nearly three times the rate in the U.S. “When I last saw Niran in the hospital he told me that he wanted to be a good boy again,” says Asipong. On Aug. 22, 2009, Aspiong attended Niran’s cremation ceremony in Kanchanabuori, Thailand.

Niran was just one of the estimated 1.8 million children worldwide trapped in the multi-billion dollar commercial sex trade every year. Commercial sexual exploitation of children is booming according to a new global report, and governments are not doing enough to protect young people.

"The recent economic downturn is set to drive more vulnerable children and young people to be exploited by the global sex trade," says Carmen Madrinan, executive director of ECPAT International, the organization that authored the August 2009 report. "The indifference that sustains the criminality, greed and perverse demands of adults for sex with children and young people needs to end."

Increasing poverty in children’s countries of origin and smaller budgets for social services are two of the factors heightening children’s vulnerability. Deterioration of living conditions often compels young people to abandon school in order to contribute to the family income, putting them at risk of seeking livelihood options that lead to their being exploited, according to ECPAT International.

As a result of the current global downturn, hundreds of factories have closed in Thailand, leaving thousands of both Thai and non-Thai workers unemployed. Unemployment is rising at a rate of about 100,000 workers a month and may climb to 1.5 million by the end of the year.

“If you ask me, the government is not correcting the source of the problem,” says Asipong. “It’s just treating the symptoms. Poverty is a big contribution to the problem in Thailand, especially in the countryside. Whether parents or children, both have to struggle to survive.”

Street children and stateless children are extremely vulnerable to commercial sexual exploitation, says Amanda Bissex, UNICEF Thailand's Chief of Child Protection. "We need to improve law enforcement and the economic welfare of children," she says, "but we also need to address people's attitudes and create an environment where there is zero tolerance for abuse of children, whether in their home country or overseas."

Another Journalist Faces Lashing in Saudi Sex Scandal Fallout

A 36-year-old Saudi journalist remains in prison and faces 70 lashes for working at an unlicensed television station after two female reporters were pardoned by King Abdullah Monday for the same alleged offenses, a lawyer involved with the case said Tuesday.

Omar Felimban was charged with working for the Lebanese Broadcasting Corp., the Beirut-based satellite TV station known as LBC, after it had its license suspended for airing a racy show this summer, Sulaiman Al Jumeii, a Jeddah-based lawyer advocating on Felimban’s behalf, said.

According to widely-published reports, the main subject of the show, Mazen Abdul Jawad, a 32-year-old airline clerk, shocked the conservative kingdom by revealing the secrets of his sex life. During the broadcast, the divorced father of four told tales of sleeping with his neighbor at the age of 14, and picking up girls using the chatting functions of Bluetooth on his mobile phone. He also showed off some sex toys to the cameras.

Abdul Jawad denies he confessed to these acts and accuses LBC of editing the broadcast, according to his lawyer Al Jumeii.

A spokeswoman for LBC in Beirut declined to comment.

Abdul Jawad was sentenced to five years in jail and 1,000 lashes earlier this month. Three friends who appeared on the show with him got two-year terms and 300 lashes each. And LBC, which is owned by the Saudi billionaire investor Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, had its license from the Ministry of Culture and Information suspended and had to close down its offices in Riyadh and Jeddah in August because of the show.

The television station is also facing a lawsuit filed at the Ministry of Culture and Information by Abdul Jawad for allegedly deceiving him during the tapings. “All the producers and executives involved in making the show have fled the country, and the only ones facing penalties are the participants and the journalists who were coordinators at the station,” Al Jumeii said.

The Ministry of Culture and Information is investigating Abdul Jawad’s claims, its spokesman Abdulrahman Al-Hazza said. It has also taken over the cases of the two female journalists from the courts and will examine if any laws were broken.

Representatives for the women could not be reached for comment.

The female journalists could be banned from the profession, pay a fine or go to prison, but they will not face lashings, Al Jumeii said. He said he presented the case of Felimban to the Minister of Culture and Information on Tuesday and was assured the case would be transferred from the courts to the ministry soon.

The VIBRATOR - Not Just for HER

Vibrators only for the ladies? I don't think so. As it turns out, men are getting it on with the very popular sex toy far more famously than we ever thought. Recent research out of Indiana University indicates that the vibrator is not necessarily a guy's competition in the bedroom.

Truth be told, this popular vibrating device is his guilty pleasure, too. So what exactly did researchers uncover about this unspoken aspect of his pleasuring? And what are the benefits being reaped by both him and her when it comes to incorporating this third-party?

Sex therapists, sex educators, and physicians have long advised experimenting with vibrators to help people overcome a sexual disorder. The gadget has also been strongly recommended to improve a person’s or couple’s sexual pleasuring and satisfaction.

Yet to date, the vibrator has been largely cast as the female’s other significant other. Much of this is due to women unabashedly touting its ability to catapult her into her first orgasm or first multiple orgasms experience. Men, on the other hand, have been mum on the issue of vibrator use, seemingly uninterested beyond the competition it posed — that is until they were asked...

As reported in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, researchers at Indiana University’s Center for Sexual Health Promotion probed the matter of his and her vibrator use with two studies. In making no mistakes about the results, they went large-scale, with one study relying on nationally representative sample of 1,047 men, while the other involved 2,056 women.

Findings from the research demonstrated that a couple's vibrator use during sex play is common, with about 45 percent of men and 53 percent of women, ages 18 to 60, reporting such. The study focusing on men specifically found that 10 percent had used a vibrator in the last month, while over 14 percent had in the past year and over 20 percent over a year ago.

Both studies found, too, that using a vibrator is associated with more positive sexual functioning. Males reporting recent vibrator use were likelier to rate themselves higher when it came to sexual desire, erectile function, intercourse satisfaction and orgasmic function.

The studies further correlated vibrator use with an individual being more proactive in attending to one’s sexual health. Those reporting use, especially recent use, were likelier to report actively taking care of their sexual health, for example, conducting a testicular self-exam.

Equally interesting was the finding that challenged the stereotype that only gay or bisexual men use the sex toy. Researchers found no statistical difference when it came to one’s sexual orientation and prevalence. Heterosexual men did, however, most commonly report vibrator use during foreplay or intercourse with their partner.

When it came to the ladies, researchers learned that almost one in four had pleasured themselves with a vibrator in the last month. The studies users, in general, were:

— Much more likely to have had a gynecological exam in the past year.

— Significantly more likely to have performed a genital self-exam in the past month.

These gals also scored higher on survey items related to positive sexual functioning, like sexual excitement, desire, lubrication, orgasm and overall function.

Such findings complement a vibrator use study conducted by The Berman Center, which found that using this sex toy is actually good for you. Regardless of relationship status or age, vibrator use was associated with improved sexual function. Those using the gadget had greater sexual interest and desire. They also experienced better arousal, easier and more frequent climax, and less pain during and after sex.

Not surprisingly, these women experienced higher levels of sexual satisfaction, as well as heightened quality of life!

Researchers at The Berman Center further found that almost 60 percent of the women in relationships reported vibrator use compared to over one-third of single gals. Two-thirds of partners were also found to be in support of using a vibe.

Women also reported trying a vibrator mostly out of curiosity. Guy or gal, hopefully this article turned on yours!

Ohio morgue worker admits to sex with bodies

A man who worked at the county morgue for 16 years and is serving time for having sex with a corpse admitted today to having sex with two more bodies during his employment.

Kenneth Douglas, 56, of Westwood pleaded guilty to two counts of gross abuse of a corpse before visiting Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Richard Niehaus. He could be imprisoned for a maximum of three years at his Dec. 10 sentencing.

Douglas was employed for 16 years, from 1976-1992, as a night attendant at the morgue. He told authorities previously that while there, he invited women in and partied with them with drugs and alcohol. He also admitted to having sex with bodies being stored while awaiting autopsies.

He is currently serving a three-year sentence for having sex with another corpse -- that of Karen Range, an 18-year-old murder victim who was nearly beheaded in 1982 and had been in the morgue cooler for hours.

Douglas said nothing today except to give respectful, short answers to routine questions from the judge.

Douglas admitted today that he had sex with the bodies of two homicide victims as they were awaiting autopsies:
• Charlene Edwards, 23, also known as Charlene Apling, who was strangled to death. He had sex with that body Oct. 1, 1991.
• Angel Hicks, 24, who was pushed from a third-story window and died from blunt trauma. He had sex with that body Dec. 8, 1991.

Douglas pleaded guilty without a plea deal. Assistant Prosecutor Mark Piepmeier said his office would offer no deals to Douglas.

After Douglas pleaded guilty in 2008 to having sex with Range’s corpse, officials conducted an extensive investigation comparing Douglas’ DNA to that of other bodies in the morgue during the time Douglas worked there.

Initially, officials feared there could be dozens of other victims, based on some of the stories Douglas told them. They were able to indict him on two additional charges.

“He told us he was out of control,” Prosecutor Joe Deters said in March after Douglas was indicted on the two charges he pleaded guilty to today.

“This is off-the-charts weird.”

Douglas was first caught when he violated his probation on a previous conviction, and his DNA was taken by officials and placed in a database. The database showed Douglas’ DNA matched that of the semen left in Range’s body.

That was good news for David Steffen, the man who spent 26 years on Ohio’s death row for Range’s murder but who insisted he never raped her. Now, Steffen’s attorneys are using Douglas’ acts to try to get Steffen off death row.

The Five Rules of Great Sex

Want to spice things up in the bedroom? Well, then turn your attention to a new book that provides tips on how to turn on your partner.

Barbara and Allan Pease’s new book may come handy in making love life even sexier, reports the Daily Telegraph.

According to the book, five rules for better sex and romance are:

1. Women should initiate sex- The custom of a male approaching a female may not always work out, as men are often apprehensive of being rejected.ence, the authors believe sometimes it’s better off that women initiate kinky things.

2. Washing up can be an aphrodisiac- Men who do household chores seem sexier to women, according to the authors.

3. Men need to dress to impress - A survey conducted by anthropologist John Townsend and Gary Levy from Syracuse University showed that expensive clothing can lure women.

The polled women said they preferred having sex with men wearing smart suits, white shirts with designer ties and expensive watches to those dressed in low status clothing, such as Tshirts and jeans, vests, baseball caps and a fast-food restaurant uniform.

4. Smart women often make bad love choices- Lot of studies have shown that smarter women make wrong choices when it comes to matters of the heart.

Author of Success Intelligence, Dr Robert Holden insists that intelligent women waste their time analysing the true meaning of their relationships, instead of being open.

5. Humour is an aphrodisiac- Good sense of humour always gives an edge to men when they hit on a woman. (ANI)

Putting a New Twist on Sex

Couples especially the adventurous types assume and tried hundreds of sexual positions to experiment and conclude which sexual position is the best. But with hundreds of sexual positions to assume, which ones are best?

Books, packed with diagrams, photos or illustrations, boast never before tried positions for every day of the year. By turning rodeo lovers into naked Twister acrobats, lovers are promised tips on how to hit hot spots or realize different orgasms.

The answer to this question boils down to what your needs are. Are you hoping to have a favorite hot spot stimulated? Are you looking for a total body experience? Are you dealing with special circumstances that require a little bit of experimentation?

There are times when you may find yourself needing to experiment. Couples need to approach sexual intimacy differently when dealing with a temporary or life-long disability. Infertility issues demanding more sex can also force lovers to expand their sexual repertoire. Then there’s the matter of taking advantage of unique opportunities when they present themselves.

While you likely have tried-and-true positions for guaranteed enjoyment, lovers have nothing to lose by shaking things up on occasion. Even the slightest of subtle shift transitions during lovemaking can make for an entirely new experience and pleasure discovery.

While experimenting with any of the following, it’s important to remember a couple of things:

1. While not every position is orgasm-inducing, the circumstances in which sex is had can make all of the difference when it comes to your satisfaction. Sometimes, it’s the mere experience of having sex outdoors, in the car, or in different rooms of your house that makes the endeavor all that and then some.

2. Don’t think that the more challenging the position, the better or the greater the fulfillment. If you’re not flexible or acrobatic enough to attempt Kama Sutra-style positions, they’re likely going to do little for you.

Goal: Full-Body-Contact

Side-by-side positions allow for greater intimacy, with spooning offering easy, relaxed sex plus massaging, kissing, hugging, teasing, and easy hot spot access to the one being spooned.

Goal: Female Orgasm

Woman-on-top is one of the most ideal positions for female orgasm, putting the woman in charge of her pleasuring. She has control over the depth, angle, and speed of action, with both partners having easy access to her erogenous zones. Her lover will become aroused in seeing her, watching the action and feeling her body.

Goal: Furniture Sex

You’ll look at that love seat in your living room in a whole new light with a little bit of straddle action. The lover in control can use the back of the couch for control while putting on a show. Don’t forget to take the action to your daybed, armless chair, rocker, footstool, hammock, exercise equipment ...

Goal: Sex during Late Pregnancy

With a rapidly growing belly, lovers can feel out of commission for a bit. As outlined in my co-authored book, “Your Orgasmic Pregnancy: Little Sex Secrets Every HOT Mama Should Know,” there are plenty of ways parents-to-be can enjoy each other as D-day approaches.

Goal: Voluptuous Sex

If you or your lover could be described as a plus size, you can still have great sex with a little assistance. Balance, joint stress, and other issues can be alleviated with cushions and pillow as bolsters. Using your headboard or footboard for support can help as well.

Goal: Quickie Sex

Standing sex can allow you to have unrestrained sex almost anywhere while maintaining full-body contact and mobility. Lovers of different heights can use a sturdy couch, bench, or other elevated platform for some basic instinct action.

Goal: You Want to Conceive

Couples have often tried all kinds of crazy positions in an effort to conceive. So which is best? The answer: there’s no evidence to suggest that one special position is likelier to lead to conception. The key to conception is timing, that is, having sex 48 hours before and on the day of ovulation.

The Verdict

It can be overwhelming to sift through the sexual positions resources available to you. With sexual positions one of their top two video categories, the Sinclair Institute’s “Better Sex” video series is a great starting point for those wanting sexually explicit sex education.

Get Women Begging Sex from You Everyday

One of the most important skills a guy must master is sex. If you can make any women feel appreciate and you can bring her to orgasm every time, she will be practically begging for sex from you everyday. Remember women can have multiple orgasm and their orgasm are more intense. In this article, I am going to share tips how to be excellent in sex.

In order to provide the ultimate sexual experience for women, you need to give your woman the G-spot orgasm. The G-spot is located at the back of female pubic bone. This can be reached by reaching about one to two inches up her frontal vaginal wall. Do a Google search to find the image so it is easier for you. Once you located the G-spot, stroke it with a rhythmic, firm pressure. Unlike the clitoris which is very sensitive to touch, feel free to stroke firmly at the G-Spot using your fingers. Be sensitive to your partner's reaction, listen to her moan and talk to her through the process. The G-spot has spongy and feels ridged like the roof of the mouth so you cannot miss it once you hit it. Keep pleasuring the G-spot and usually within 2 minutes she will have an explosive orgasm and will be begging you for more.

Now remember that the G-spot is not the only sensitive area of a women; the back of ears, the neck, clitoris, her breast and even inner thighs are all sensitive area of women so do spend more time stimulating them and do not rush while having sex. By combining all these erogenous spots, it is the best way to make her reach an unforgettable orgasm.

Being a masterful lover, you should also focus on her emotional need while having sex. Some women like to talk during sex and share their inner feelings. Some like to have it rough and be dominated or vice versa. Do add in toys if your partner agrees to it to spice up your sex life and do not be afraid to try new things. Finally, remember to romance your women off and on bed and I am very sure women will be begging sex from you everyday.

Sex Toys: A Necessity For An Orgasmic Sex Life

Shauna Sand's Sex Tape Leaked

Another celebrity sex tape has been leaked and this time on it is of actress and Playboy model Shauna Sand. The hardcore footage, as reported by TMZ, has been obtained by Vivid Entertainment and is expected to be released next Monday, October 19.

The busty blonde is seeking legal action to prevent Vivid Entertainment from releasing the hardcore tape.

As of the press time, Shauna is making an attempt to block the release of the tape. "Yes I did make a sex tape with my boyfriend earlier this year. In fact I've made several sex tapes, but I certainly didn't sign off on this and Vivid has no right to put it out. I am trying to get a hold of my attorney now," TMZ quotes her as saying.

However, Vivid founder Steven Hirsch has countered Shauna's statement, claiming "We were approached by a third party, who brought us footage of Shauna having sex with her current boyfriend and we were immediately interested in acquiring it ... We're comfortable with our legal position in releasing this footage."

Continuation of the issue is still on going at the time of writing. More information is expected to be made by either Shauna or Vivid.

Great Sex Leads to Improved Health

Recent research findings continue to reconfirm that sex does the body good in more ways than one. A study conducted by the Women's Health Program at Monash University in Australia asked 295 pre and post menopausal women about sexual satisfaction, positive well-being, psychological well-being and vitality. Being sexually satisfied was found to be positively correlated with each of the three elements of healthy living. A correlation between age and well-being was also identified with older women showing higher levels of positive well being and lower levels of general health.

The lead researcher, Dr Sonia Davison, explains the limitations of the study’s conclusions. "The problem with interpreting this finding is that it is impossible to determine if dissatisfied women had lower well-being because they were sexually dissatisfied, or if the reverse is true, such that women who started with lower well-being tended to secondarily have sexual dissatisfaction. As such, pharmacotherapies aimed to treat sexual dysfunction may have secondary effects on well-being, and the reverse may be true."

Participants in the study ranged in age from 20 to 65 and their levels of sexual satisfaction were self-assessed. Over 90% of participants reported that their sexual activity involved a partner and that their partner was the one to initiate sex at least half of the time. Common sexual problems reported by respondents included sexual desire, interest, pleasure and satisfaction. While studies of male sexual satisfaction often assess interventions and therapy according to the frequency of sexual activity, the researchers noted that women often continue to engage in sexual activity despite dissatisfaction. Therefore, frequency of self-reported satisfaction with sexual events was used as the primary measure in this study.

The findings were published today in The Journal of Sexual Medicine. Dr. Irwin Goldstein, the journal’s Editor-in-Chief offers high praise to Davison and her research team. “We are proud to publish this extremely important study in women's sexual health. This large study performed in the community emphasizes the role and importance of women's sexual health in women's overall health and well-being. Previous criticism equated physicians' efforts to improve a woman's satisfaction with her sexual life as medicalization. Dr. Davison's and co-workers' research will help health care professionals appreciate the need for overall women's healthcare to include women's sexual health care."

Sexually satisfied women have better general well-being and more vitality

Older women have higher well-being scores than younger women.

Pre- and post-menopausal women who self-rated themselves as being sexually satisfied had a higher overall psychological well-being score and scores for "positive well-being" and "vitality," compared with sexually dissatisfied women in a study of 295 women sexually active more than twice a month. The study, published today in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, also uncovered a positive association between age and well-being, but a negative association for general health.

The most commonly reported sexual problems in the area of consensual sexuality in women relate to sexual desire and interest, pleasure and satisfaction, and for most women these are part of the overall sexual experience, and are inextricably related. In contrast to studies of interventions for male erectile dysfunction, benefit of treatment in women with sexual dysfunction cannot be measured simply by the frequency of sexual events, as women frequently continue to be sexually active despite a high level of sexual dissatisfaction. Thus the frequency of self-reported satisfactory sexual events has been used as the primary outcome in recent studies.

To assess whether there was a correlation between sexual satisfaction and well-being, the team of Australian researchers recruited women from the community aged 20-65 who self-identified as being satisfied or dissatisfied with their sexual function. Participants were also asked questions which identified whether they were pre- or post menopausal, with recruitment closed when there was an equal number of women in each of the four subgroups.

"We wanted to explore the links between sexual satisfaction and wellbeing in women from the community, and to see if there was any difference between pre- and postmenopausal women," said lead author Dr Sonia Davison, of the Women's Health Program at Monash University, Australia. "We found that women who were sexually dissatisfied had lower well-being and lower vitality. This finding highlights the importance of addressing these areas as an essential part of women's healthcare, because women may be uncomfortable discussing these issues with their doctor."

"The problem with interpreting this finding is that it is impossible to determine if dissatisfied women had lower well-being because they were sexually dissatisfied, or if the reverse is true, such that women who started with lower well-being tended to secondarily have sexual dissatisfaction," added Davison. "As such, pharmacotherapies aimed to treat sexual dysfunction may have secondary effects on well-being, and the reverse may be true."

As over 90% of women in this study reported their sexual activity involved a partner, and was initiated by the partner at least 50% of the time, the sexual activity of the women may have been affected by partner presence (or absence), partner health, and sexual function, which were not addressed in this study. "The fact that women who self-identified as being dissatisfied maintained the level of sexual activity reported most likely represents established behaviour and partner expectation," said Professor Susan Davis, senior author of this study, also based at the Women's Health Program at Monash University, Australia. "It also reinforces the fact that frequency of sexual activity in women cannot be employed as a reliable indicator of sexual well-being."

"We are proud to publish this extremely important study in women's sexual health" said Dr. Irwin Goldstein, Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Sexual Medicine. "This large study performed in the community emphasizes the role and importance of women's sexual health in women's overall health and well-being. Previous criticism equated physicians' efforts to improve a woman's satisfaction with her sexual life as medicalization. Dr. Davison's and co-workers' research will help health care professionals appreciate the need for overall women's healthcare to include women's sexual health care."
