The sex workers argue that forces them onto the streets and doesn't allow women to protect themselves. The Crown will argue that prostitution is degrading and dangerous and legalizing the trade could turn Canada into a sex tourist haven.

Partner swapping: Is it the best of both worlds?
Do you fantasize about having more than one sexual partner and not have it interfere with your relationship? No regret, no guilt, and having someone special to share your life, your joys, your sorrows with, all the while, experiencing the pleasures of having a variety of sexual partners.
For most, your values, principles and fears don’t allow you to follow through on your desire for sexual adventure. We bury our appetite for exploration for the sake of a loving relationship and sexual exclusivity. Others opt for infidelity. While some choose couple swapping, also known as swinging.

January 9, 2008 Teacher's Pet
Most cases of sexual misconduct in the classroom--between teachers and students--go undisclosed and unreported. Victims are silenced by guilt and shame and school authorities are simply reluctant to believe the worst, especially when it comes to sexual misconduct by female teachers. Experts say the few cases we read about in the newspaper are just the tip of the iceberg. In Teacher's Pet, Hana Gartner and a fifth estate team tell the stories of just two cases.

Sunday 11 May 2008 MONTREAL: PRIVATE SCHOOL TEACHER ARRESTED FOR CHILD PORNOGRAPHY
American police in the State of Virginia have arrested a teacher at a respected private school in Montreal who allegedly solicited a minor for sex. Richard Doucet was also alleged to possess child pornography. He was caught in a police sting operation when he tried to solicit an undercover police officer posing on the Internet as a 13-year-old boy. Mr. Doucet's colleagues at Selwyn House elementary school have expressed shock. He has no criminal record. The school in the tony Westmount section of Montreal was the centre of an earlier sex-related controversy. Several former students allege that they were sexually abused by three ex-teachers dating back as far as the 1960s. A lawsuit was launched and an offer of about CDN$5 million was made to all claimants. The suit has yet to be finalized in court. [only a big deal because little people say it is!]

Common-law unions called 'prostitution'

The Gazette

The Greek Orthodox Church labelled common-law marriage "prostitution" yesterday as it expressed its bitter opposition to government plans to give such couples more rights.

Sunday Mar 16, 2008 Life isn't fair - just ask Eliot Spitzer or Hillary Clinton
A lot of things must go right for Clinton if she is to win the nomination
The Spitzer bombshell must be both anguishing and oddly exhilarating for Hillary Clinton. Anguishing, because it recalls so luridly the nadir of her partnership with husband Bill - the revelation of his White House dalliance with Monica Lewinsky. Exhilarating, because it reaffirms the truism that, in politics, it ain't over till it's over - and that, right up to that final moment, almost anything can happen to alter the outcome.

Saturday Mar 15, 2008 Decriminalize prostitution
Paying for sex is common. The U.S. should follow Mexico's lead and accept that.
Eliot Spitzer paid a woman for sex. And got caught. Depending on whose statistics you choose to believe, more than one in every 10 American adult males have paid for sex at some point in their lives. What's more, in 2005, about 84,000 people were arrested across the nation for prostitution-related offenses.

Thursday 13 March 2008 Spitzer sex scandal woman named
The prostitute at the centre of New York Governor Eliot Spitzer's sex scandal has been named by US media.

The woman, named in court papers as Kristen, is Ashley Alexandra Dupre, the New York Times reported.

Ms Dupre, 22, told the Times she did not want "to be thought of as a monster", but gave no comments on her alleged relationship with Mr Spitzer.

Wednesday 12 March 2008 Foes of Sex Trade Are Stung by the Fall of an Ally
As New York’s attorney general, Eliot Spitzer had broken up prostitution rings before, but this 2004 case took on a special urgency for him. Prosecuting an international sex tourism business based in Queens, he listened to the entreaties of women’s advocates long frustrated by state laws that fell short of dealing with a sex trade expanding rapidly across borders.

Sex Infections Found in Quarter of Teenage Girls
By LAWRENCE K. ALTMAN
Rates are particularly high among young African-Americans, according to new federal data.
The first national study of four common sexually transmitted diseases among girls and young women has found that one in four are infected with at least one of the diseases, federal health officials reported Tuesday.
Nearly half the African-Americans in the study of teenagers ages 14 to 19 were infected with at least one of the diseases monitored in the study — human papillomavirus (HPV), chlamydia, genital herpes and trichomoniasis, a common parasite.

Italy's highest appeal court has ruled that married Italian women who commit adultery are entitled to lie about it to protect their honour.

Friday 15 February 2008 Reinventing Date Night for Long-Married Couples
Rather than visiting the same familiar haunts and dining with the same old friends, couples need to tailor their date nights around new and different activities that they both enjoy, says Arthur Aron, a professor of social psychology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. The goal is to find ways to keep injecting novelty into the relationship. The activity can be as simple as trying a new restaurant or something a little more unusual or thrilling — like taking an art class or going to an amusement park.SOME relationships run aground on the perilous shoals of money, sex or religion.

An Italian urologist and self-professed lover of the sexy shoe set out to prove that high heels were not as bad for women's health as some suggest.

The shoe has been linked to a range of problems - from corns to schizophrenia.

But in a letter to European Urology, Dr Maria Cerruto said her research showed it was time to stand up for the heel.

Monday Feb 4, 2008 Sex workers should be able to ply their trade in safety
There was a time when I wouldn't have questioned columnist Janet Bagnall's declaration that 90 per cent of prostitutes have been forced into the work ("Legal brothels for Vancouver Games are a bad idea," Jan. 30).
....Why do women work as prostitutes? For the money. It's a job, and a legal one in Canada, employing tens of thousands nationwide. But our prudish inability to come to grips with that reality is exactly what has made some aspects of the industry so dangerous.
...But it's our laws and attitudes that have created those working conditions. Women are dying and suffering out there because we've chased them into the shadows with our anti-solicitation laws, criminalized their incomes and denied them a legal indoor workplace.
We categorize them as victims, but treat them like lepers. Pushed into places where we don't have to look at them, the shunned women who end up working Canada's outdoor strolls end up as easy pickings for predators.>br>...But for the adults who choose to work in the industry, what could possibly be a valid rationale for continuing to deny them a proper workplace? Like it or not, sex sells, and the real crime is that we'd rather leave women to be beaten and murdered on the streets than acknowledge that.

Selling sex

Jan 17th 2008
From The Economist print edition

Economists let some light in on the shady market for paid sex


IT IS all too easy to become a lost soul in New Orleans. The annual meeting of the American Economic Association this month was part of a huge gathering of social scientists sprawled across the city. Each venue itself was a warren of meeting rooms. Take a wrong turning and a delegate seeking an earnest symposium on minimum wages might innocently end up in the conference session devoted to the market for paid sex.

The star attraction there was Steven Levitt, an economics professor at the University of Chicago and co-author of “Freakonomics”, a best-selling book. Mr Levitt presented preliminary findings* from a study conducted with Sudhir Venkatesh, a sociologist at Columbia University. Their research on the economics of street prostitution combines official arrest records with data on 2,200 “tricks” (transactions), collected by Mr Venkatesh in co-operation with sex workers in three Chicago districts.

Monday 14 January 2008 TORONTO: STUDY RELEASED ON STUDENT SEXUAL ACTIVITY
A new study of university students shows that nearly one-third of women who reported having had only one male sexual partner were infected with human papillomavirus within a year of starting that sexual relationship. Three years into those partnerships, nearly 50 per cent of the women had been infected at least once. Lead author Dr. Rachel Winer of the University of Washington in Seattle says HPV is different from other sexually transmitted diseases in that it's very common among everyone who's sexually active. Dr. Monika Naus, director of the immunization program at the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control in Vancouver, says the findings underscore the wisdom of offering HPV vaccine to girls before they have begun to have sex. Dr. Naus, who was not involved in the study, notes that data from BC suggests that by age 12, four per cent of boys and 3.1 per cent of girls have had sexual intercourse. By age 16, the rate rises to 28.3 per cent of males and 33.4 per cent of females. The study will be published this week in the Journal of Infectious Diseases.

Tuesday Sep 25, 2007 Canadian doctors back HPV vaccine for young girls
The Canadian Paediatric Society yesterday said all girls between the ages of nine and 13 should receive the controversial vaccine to prevent human papillomavirus...
...Pediatricians administer other childhood vaccines, and so are in a good position to influence parents with regard to the HPV vaccine, said Dr. Lefebvre, adding that children should be given Gardasil along with age-appropriate sex education. Canadian pediatricians and gynecologists are not alone in their enthusiasm for Gardasil, which clinical trials have found to be 98% effective against pre-cancerous lesions caused by the two high-risk strains of HPV responsible for 70% of cases of cervical cancer.
..In a letter to Catholic school boards in Ontario earlier this month, the Ontario Conference of Catholic Bishops said abstinence is the best protection against sexually transmitted disease.
However, Dr. Samson says "There were no safety concerns that were raised in this age group" during clinical trials. And the vaccine must be given early because, while no one wants children having sex too young, the reality is that about 20% have had intercourse by Grade 9, she said.
There are more than 100 types of the virus but HPV-16 and HPV-18--both covered by Gardasil -- are associated with 70% of cases of cervical cancer.

SEXUAL HARRASSMENT: AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY PROBLEM?
The Post goes inside with the results of a study that suggest that men are “almost as likely” as women to be coerced into sexual activity. In a study of 518 students at the University of Guelph, 48 percent of female subjects described having been pressured into sexual activities ranging from kissing to cuddling to intercourse, while 39 percent of male participants also reported having succumbed to carnal bullying. According to Cailey Hartwick, the study’s lead author, the traditional conception of the insatiable male libido makes both men and women more susceptible to sexual pressure—men because they believe refusing sex entails a sort of emasculation and women because they feel, in the creepy words of the study, that “resistance may be somewhat futile against a man’s indomitable desire for sex.” The Post appears both incredulous and excited at the subversive implications of the findings, while MediaScout sympathizes with the former attitude. According to the article, the researchers defined sexual coercion as anything from “mild cajoling to full-blown sexual assault”—a spectrum so broad that one has to question whether it constitutes a unified phenomenon to be studied, and whether a narrower definition might not reveal fundamental differences between the experiences of men and women.

Tuesday 11 September 2007 MARRIAGE UPRATED A poll by the Decima firm shows that Canadians attribute a growing importance to the institution of marriage, although those polled also think that it has lost importance for most of the population. The survey also indicates that a majority thinks that it's necessary to make a bigger personal investment in making a marriage succeed, as well as that it's important for children to belong to a family having two parents.

Some Like It Hot (1959) trailer
The launching pad for Billy Wilder's comedy classic was a rusty old German farce, Fanfares of Love, whose two main characters were male musicians so desperate to get a job that they disguise themselves as women and play with an all-girl band in gangster-dominated 1929 Chicago. In this version, musicians Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon) lose their jobs when a speakeasy owned by mob boss Spats Columbo (George Raft) is raided by prohibition agent Mulligan (Pat O'Brien). Several weeks later, on February 14th, Joe and Jerry get a job perfroming in Urbana and end up witnessing a gangland massacre in a parking garage. Fearing that they will be next on the mobsters' hit lists, Joe devises an ingenious plan for disguising their identities. Soon they are all dolled up and performing as Josephine and Daphne in Sweet Sue's all-girl orchestra. En route to Florida by train with Sweet Sue's band, the boys (girls?) make the acquaintance of Sue's lead singer Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe, in what may be her best performance). Joe and Jerry immediately fall in love, though of course their new feminine identities prevent them from acting on their desires. Still, they are determined to woo her, and they enact an elaborate series of gender-bending ruses complicated by the fact that flirtatious millionaire Osgood Fielding (Joe E. Brown) has fallen in love with "Daphne." The plot gets even thicker when Spats Columbo and his boys show up in Florida. Nominated for several Oscars, Some Like It Hot ended up the biggest moneymaking comedy up to 1959. Full of hilarious set pieces and movie in-jokes, it has not tarnished with time and in fact seems to get better with each passing year, as its cross-dressing humor keeps it only more and more up-to-date. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

NO MORE MONTHLY VISITOR?
CTV News, the Globe and the Citizen (not available online) go inside with the approval in the United States of a birth control pill that stops women’s monthly periods. Although women have known for some time that traditional birth control pills can be taken each day, rather than three weeks a month, to prevent periods from occurring, this is the first drug approved by the US’s Food and Drug Administration that is specifically designed to eliminate symptoms of the menstrual cycle. Lybrel, as the drug is known, may not be for everyone. According to the FDA, about half of the women involved in testing the drug dropped out because of irregular bleeding that replaced the scheduled monthly menstrual cycle. Though the new drug, manufactured by Wyeth, can be beneficial to women who suffer from particularly acute menstrual symptoms, it has stirred up a debate about the appropriateness of removing a natural bodily function. “I certainly can understand the benefits of taking these kinds of medications, but for most women menstruation is a normal life event—not a medical condition,” CTV’s website quotes Jean Elson of the University of New Hampshire as saying. “Why medicate away a normal life event if we’re not sure of the long-term effects?”

...The decline comes despite studies showing the average age at which Canadian teens have their a first sexual encounter is steady at 16.5 years old for boys and girls. But Statistics Canada data from 2005 suggests 12 per cent of boys and 13 per cent of girls have sex earlier - by age 14 or 15.

The National and the Star go inside with, while la Presse and the Citizen (not available online) brief, the results of a recent survey of Canadian teens and their attitudes toward sex. The study showed many adolescents are ignorant about the risks of sexually transmitted infections, particularly as they relate to oral sex. While the majority were aware of such risks, researchers were concerned about the sizable minority (approximately one in five) that weren’t. A somewhat surprising result which emerged from the study was that teens—though uncomfortable with the idea of talking to their parents about sex—dOWN to get information on sexual activity from their parents. The study was conducted by Ipsos-Reid on behalf of the Canadian Association for Adolescent Health and was funded by Merck—a pharmaceutical company currently developing a vaccine against the commonly transmitted human papilloma virus. The Star notes that Merck’s funding took the form of an unrestricted educational grant, but MediaScout is troubled that la Presse and the Citizen cut the funding detail from their briefs. While there’s no reason to doubt the sincerity of Merck’s grant, or the veracity of the survey, due diligence on such stories should require full disclosure of the study’s potential for bias. The Canadian Association for Adolescent Health recognized that—the Citizen and la Presse should have as well.

Users of Viagra, Cialis and Levitra are at risk of a rare side effect when blood flow to the optic nerve is blocked. Symptoms include sudden and painless loss of vision in one or both eyes. Those who experience one episode are at greater risk of experiencing a second episode affecting the other eye. Men older than 50 or those suffering from heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes or certain pre-existing eye problems, and smokers, are most at risk. Health Canada says it's monitoring the drugs and has requested additional safety information from all three manufacturers.

The five MP's -- two Liberals and one each from the three other parties -- want to visit Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden and Reno, Nevada. They plan to meet with police, counsellors and brothel owners to investigate the impact the legalized sex trade is having on those involved and their communities. Justice Committee chairman Liberal Paul DeVillers says the goal is to improve safety for sex trade workers. He says that can be done without actually legalizing prostitution.

The average increase was "two extra satisfactory events per month," according to women's health professor Susan Davis. Although usually associated with men, testosterone is present in both men and women and affects the part of the brain responsible for sexual motivation. The only drawback of the spray was that some patients reported an increase in body hair. And a sudden desire to watch football on the weekend? Just curious.

Prostitution Sex is their business

Attitudes to commercial sex are hardening. But tougher laws are wrong in both principle and practice
TWO adults enter a room, agree a price, and have sex. Has either committed a crime? Common sense suggests not: sex is not illegal in itself, and the fact that money has changed hands does not turn a private act into a social menace. If both parties consent, it is hard to see how either is a victim. But prostitution has rarely been treated as just another transaction, or even as a run-of-the-mill crime: the oldest profession is also the oldest pretext for outraged moralising and unrealistic lawmaking devised by man.
