Sex Briefs

Word of mouth
A reporter in Liberia, a South African province, has found herself in the midst of a sex scandal... kind of. The female reporter was reportedly quoted as saying that female journalists in the region were being asked to perform sex acts in return for information from their sources. The reporter, Mae Azango, was quick to say that the paper had misquoted her when she said that sexual harassment, not sex, was one of the challenges local female writers faced.

Hold the cheese
Joining the ranks of such greats as Pizza Pizza and The Mandarin, Korean prostitutes are now ready to order via phone, or Internet. So prospective Johns can now save their energy for the bedroom (or living room, or kitchen... whatever floats their boat), no longer having to make the tiring walk to the local brothel or rub-and-tug. But the question remains, if she (or he) shows up more than 30 minutes after the order, are the ordered services free?

Eating out
Amora, a British interactive sex education centre, is offering lunch-hour sex tips to London workers. Mary Clegg, the sex expert handling the project, explained that her main goal is to educate men on how to please their partner because women's needs are still being overlooked. "For far too many men it is still a case of 'wham-bam-thank you-ma'am' with little apparent thought for the legitimate desires of women," she told Reuters in an interview. Unfortunately for women most of the attendees remain predominantly female.

No playtime
A recent study done in Berlin, Germany by the University of Goettingen shows that those of us suffering from lack of sex are more likely to immerse themselves in their work. Some 35 per cent of the 32,000 men and women surveyed said that they distracted themselves from their unsatisfying sex lives by doing more work, be that volunteering for more projects or staying late at work.
