    Nothing for straight unkinky guys then, apart from squirting over the side of a parked car in the dark......?

    Hannah, I can understand your gut reaction but nobody is suggesting real non-consensual rape is sexy. However, playing such games consensually can be hot and appeal to a very basic cave-man/cave-woman instinct. There are many role-play scenarios, mostly totally non-PC, which in reality would be very unsexy, yet appeal to lots of peoples fantasies, e.g. interrogation, arrest, medical, torture, schoolroom, slavery etc. If you really want to be PC, but totally OTT, you could say the same about School Disco themed parties on the basis of paedophilia!

    Since when was rape seen as something desirable?.. this flippant reference to one of the worst bodily violations a human being can suffer is both disgraceful and utterly insensitive to those men and women who have undergone such an ordeal. Alternative approaches to expressing one's sexuality is something to be welcomed and explored, however, I find it troubling to see rape on the menu of potential sexual appetisers.

    Can anyone recommend places for steamy sauna parties for couples?

    Fortunately, journos now seem to be moving away from the more sensationalist freak-show type treatment to taking time to treat less mainstream sex/kink seriously and look into the very valid reasons for such seemingly odd behaviour. During this transitional period, you are bound to get the occasional shock or weird bit thrown in. No, bestiality doesn't fit in with the whole ethos, anymore than sadistic murders or assaults have anything to do with BDSM. One is non-consensual and the other consensual, as is rape to loving/recreational sex.

    great article! however the idea that you deem bestiality a something good is sick. what's next child pornography?!

    The Valentine's Day bondage course is sold out but there are still some places for 21 Feb and 14 Mar. See item 18 in the article for more info or go to www.esinem.com/main-tuition

    As long as no one is harmed & its consensual, anything goes but I can't believe anyone is advocating sex with animals, who cannot consent (in the unlikely event that they would want to!). As the article mentioned, 2 sheep died after that man raped them. Bestiality is illegal for a good reason.

    disgusting!

    Big up the kinky!
    There are rarely any 'mainstream' articles that cater to these kind of shenanigans and whilst I'm not going to have sex with a car any time soon, Night Of The Senses sounds like fun!

    The article is ok, but there is little relevant information here for normal and straight people so it shouldnt be called 'sex in the city'. Its mostly stuff for swingers and weirdos, nothing new under the sun.

    It's nice that finally it's coming out in the open that it's not bad or odd or weird to have a healthy interest in sex! and fun Just as with most pleasures in life, people have been trying to repress them for so many years as a form of control and it's wonderful that people are beginning to recognise this, throw off the fetters of repression and put on the fetters of pleasure. As long as the participants are all adults who give informed consent, who's it hurting?
    There are some great nights out there, ranging from the very "light", more club-orientated events right up to the one you mentioned, Night of the Senses, which can be a real eye opener and allow great freedom of expression.
    I've been interested in shibari for a while now, and as I now have a willing victim (*grin*) I'm going to go do some investigating...
    Thanks TO!
