Peace for the neighbours: Woman who broke Asbo stopping her from having noisy sex locked up

locking her up seems a bit excessive to me.

Yes. Bet the neighbours are installing extra sound-proofing for when she gets out.

Not sure if it's strictly possible to control your volume when you're in the throes of abandoned sexual frenzy. I've always managed to be quite restrained, but perhaps that's just atypically me.

The bottom line, however, is that she is creating a noise nuisance, and the how is not strictly relevant. Nobody (except her neighbours, obviously) would be giving a toss about this story if she was playing her Meat Loaf records on a volume 11 setting.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if it turned out that the complaints were actually about her generally making an inconsiderate amount of noise, and that the sex part were just a very minor detail.

A prison sentence for noisy sex does seem a tad excessive. I can't image any judge deciding prison was the best solution for this. Besides why is the Woman only in jail? After all it does take 2 to tango.

I agree with the poster above that the sex is probably just one on a long list of complaints. But arguments and late night hoovering don't shift papers, do they?

Where's my trusty Camel Toe clip? There must be somebody, somewhere who's never seen it.

Ahhh.. here it is.

Makes me laugh every time, like the baked bean eating scene in Blazing Saddles. Mrs M despairs of me.

'I was attracted to him, so I enjoyed it': Teen who auctioned off her virginity for £8,800 reveals details of her first time

Usual fare...notable for this comment:

Good for her, she had somthing worth selling and had a good experience.

Most student girls lose it to a spotty inexperienced twit in a dirty bedsit.

Wish I still had mine to sell!

Kerry, have you considered the second hand or nearly new market? The price you get will depend on what needs doing to the bodywork but providing you're a good runner and reliable you should be fine!

If you think this is bad, spare a thought for my poor wife, she has to put up with this sort of humour every day, bless her.

What type of fuel do you use? Meat or are you a vegetarian?

HILARY FREEMAN: Could teens be fed a more dangerous and deluded message than being told sex is their human right - and it's good for them too?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/artic ... right.html

What's that, damage to the ceiling? Don't worry, it's just Hillary Freeman, whose knee has jerked with such a vigorous and unnecessary force she's knocked an extra trapdoor to the loft.

It's all about the NHS Sheffield's leaflet of promoting sexual wellbeing.

Quote:

The leaflet, entitled ‘Pleasure’, advises school kids that they not only have a ‘right’ to an enjoyable sex life, but also that regular sex is good for their health.

Yeah, they're all better off as repressed chaste angels really.

Followed by an almost token Skins still, and then this:

Quote:

This philosophy is based on research showing that in countries where sex is discussed in a more open and positive way, such as the Netherlands, there are lower rates of teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.

The UK, on the other hand, has one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in Europe and rates of sexually transmitted infections, particularly chlamydia, are reaching epidemic proportions.

I’ve spent the past ten years dishing out advice on sex and relationships to young people in magazines and on websites.

I know what they think and feel about sex. And I have to say, never have I seen such a triumph of flawed thinking as this initiative.
For one thing, just because an approach works in the Netherlands does not mean it will work in the UK.

Our cultures are very different, particularly when it comes to sex.
We’re a nation that sniggers at seaside postcards and Benny Hill sketches; we have sex with the lights off.

I’m not saying our attitude is a good one, but it makes us very different from the open-minded, liberated Dutch, and we’re not going to change overnight, certainly not just because of a leaflet.

I'd say you're very wrong, Hillary. The UK is very liberally-minded about sex, at least the generation to whom this leaflet is aimed are, and the days of puppetry with birds and bees is long since passed.

Yes, people do have a 'right' to good sex, as they should damn well demand the best for themselves in such a personal and wonderful area of life. No selfish shit there please. Oh wait, if you conflate it with a generally moronic attitude to 'rights', it becomes a political point and morons can hate
it.

And yes, good sex is good for you. Of course it is.

That doesn't mean, of course, that ALL teenagers will ALL rush out and IMMEDIATELY start having sex. Quite aside from the popular notion of many teens being awkward and shy (vs. the sexually and violently aggressive 'other' teens), is it not better to teach them that sex is good (I'd imagine contraception is heavily pushed in these leaflets too) than a terrible thing to be feared? (Which in itself is dying trope, given how sexualised the media et al can be, which is a Bad Thing at times I freely admit).

Did she really say that we shouldn't try to change our sexual culture to be more like that of the Netherlands because, er, our sexual culture is different to that of the Netherlands? My head is spinning.

Must admit, all this talk about teenagers and sex makes one think i missed out on somthing when I was at school. The most we could hope for was a bit of tongue hockey outside the gates, and then only for the popular & good-looking lads :cry:

Yeah, I was just saying the other day how I'm sick of the way young people refuse to do anything else these days other than watch Benny Hill and collect seaside postcards????

From one extreme to the other now!

NHS spends £14,000 on sex leaflet telling pensioners to 'experiment and use Viagra'

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... t-bed.html

While the thought may fill you with dread, it's pretty well know that older folks are just as proficient at doing the dirty as the younger generations. But no, in Mail Land they like it when people are lonely, neglected, bitter dried-up husks of souls. Hey, that's how they sell their papers.

Thankfully, a balance quote appears, albeit buried deep into the article.

Quote:

Toni Lancaster, of Age Concern Gillingham, said: 'We live in an ageing society where people live longer and healthier lives and more and more people continue to be sexually active at an older age.
'Those who want to read it will and those who don't, won't.'

Well said.

Tomorrow, I'd wager:

Everyone of all consenting ages should be having sex, says disgusting NHS leaflet
