Japanese Performance Art at the Carriageworks

Just returned from a good feed at the Parramatta Roxy with my Wednesday Night Dinner Crew. As you might have guessed from our name, we meet on Wednesday nights for dinner. A couple of weeks ago two Crew members were unable to come because they had free tickets to the Kirin Big In Japan event [...]

Kyle and Jackie O – Idiots

The situation: Two Sydney radio presenters, Kyle and Jackie-O on 2DayFM, have landed themselves in hot water. As part of a semi-regular lie-detector skit they interviewed a fourteen year-old girl, under the goading of her mother, about the girl’s school truancy and also her sex life. The skit went wrong when the girl claimed she [...]

The Zen of the Toilet Seat

I don’t know if women have this problem, but for a guy there are few more annoying things than this: rushing into a public toilet, sphincter squeezed tight to avoid crapping pants, pushing open the cubicle door, hands on your belt ready to unbutton your fly, ready to shove down your jeans, turn, sit and [...]

My First Crush

Like many my age, I grew up with Star Wars. I wasn’t old enough to see the first film at the cinema, but The Empire Strikes Back is one of my earliest cinema-going memories. Actually, my dad got hold of the book before we saw the film, and he used to read it to me [...]

God the Voyeur inspires Catholic Kama Sutra

A Polish Catholic Priest has written a book, dubbed the Catholic Kama Sutra, intended to put a little liturgical oomph into the sex lives of Catholics. The celibate Priest’s qualifications for writing the book are marriage counseling and running a website giving sexual advice. You may scoff, as indeed I did, but then again an [...]

Chinese Women Murdered in Sydney

On November 13 last year, the decomposing bodies of two Chinese women were discovered in their room in Auburn, Sydney. According to an article in the Australian over the weekend, police are “baffled”, but things seem pretty clear to me. Some of the facts:

The two women were from a remote area in Yunnan province, China, [...]

Optus: yes, yes… yes!

It was in the news today that Optus, Australia’s second largest telecommunications company, made approximately $45 million over three years (1999-2001) via phone sex. The company was exploiting a loophole in regulation laws, particularly in the United States, where customers were paying up to $US4 a minute for phone sex. Optus was seeing at least [...]

This Henson’s No Muppet

The government is again targeting photographic artist Bill Henson in a witch-hunt. If you’ve been living under a rock (or outside the country), in May of this year one of his shows was closed by the police, who seized 32 of his pictures, and Prime Minister Rudd called Henson’s photographs “absolutely revolting.” Why? Because the [...]

Sex in Cambodia

One of the things that Cambodia is best known for is sex tourism. Some of it is your regular ‘money for sex’ stuff (this page should give you the general idea) but one interesting aspect of it that I discovered when I was there was the concept of companions in bars. One night, myself [...]
