These ain’t no Pussycat Dolls!
Like the South Korean people don’t have enough to worry about with North Korean as a neighbor, now their own government is trying to restrict their god-given right to have sex with a rubber doll.
Here’s the deal. In South Korea you can rent what’s called a “doll experience room” for an hour for just over $26 US (or 25,000 Won). That gets you a bed, a computer. and a well-made rubber sex doll. The dolls are what we call a Real Doll and what they think we call a “dirty wife” for some reason. These are expensive and realistic playtoys we’re talking about here, with the starting price to purchase one being around $6,500 plus $500 for shipping. (Yes, that’s a [tags]Real Doll[/tags] in the photo.)
The doll experience rooms were introduced as a way around the Special Law on Prostitution which went into effect in 2004. So first your country tells you that you can’t fuck the women who are willing to fuck you for money, and now they’re trying to say that you can’t pay to fuck a rubber woman either.
Sometimes I’m pretty sure that this world is just about as fucked up as it would be if some asshole ran the whole thing.
–Note to self: but it’d still be nice to get the licensing rights to a line of Pussycat Dolls made by Real Dolls.
The things that come out when celebs are suing each other. This week Liza Minnelli’s estranged husband, David Gest, had his ten million dollar civil suit against her thrown out of court. He was claiming that in her drunken rages, Liza used to beat him up so badly that not only was he hospitalized but that he’s been having “severe, unrelenting” headaches ever since. The suit was held to have no merit when Gest’s own medical expert testified that it was a strain of herpes that was causing the headaches. Oh well, David, you may not be able to catch a break but at least you know where you can catch a beating. 
In a city where barely-dressed prostitutes display themselves in storefront windows, the latest twist is having sex in a car fitted with a bed and set up on poles thirteen feet off the ground. Why, you might ask? Well, evidently because it’s there.
Walk past the “dick tree” and the electric nipple clips and you come to The Throne, a replica of a reclining rocker that once toured the finest whorehouses in 19th-century France. An attached card says it was used for “group games.” While Berlin, Barcelona, Madrid and Amsterdam all have “museums of the erotic,” the Sex Machine Museum in Prague may be the first of its kind. The museum showcases an exposition of mechanical erotic appliances which were designed to bring pleasure and allow extraordinary and unusual positions during intercourse.
On an area of three floors there are more than 200 objects and mechanical appliances on view, a gallery of art with erotic themes, a cinema with old erotic films, erotic boudoir clothing and various other things related to human sexuality. You’ll see sex machines that are precursors to our modern-day stimulators, chastity belts, iron corsets, and other historical contraceptive devices. Some are demonstrated by mannequins, others speak for themselves. The wide variety of appliances range from intriguing to disturbing.
If you’re planning a trip to Prague anytime soon, you can visit the Sex Machines Museum between 10am and 11pm daily. Remember that no one under 18 is allowed inside. Their address is Melantrichova 18 – 11000 Praha 1, and their phone number is + 420 224216505.
Yesterday the World Strip Poker Championship began at the Cafe Royal in central London, with around 200 seated to play “No Limit Texas Hold ’em.” Irish bookmaker Paddy Power organized the event following up on an April Fool’s spoof that generated tremendous interest in actually holding the event. Both male and female players, and from 12 different countries, are competing to keep their clothes on and walk away with the 10,000 pound prize, a Gold Fig Leaf trophy and the title of World [tag]Strip Poker[/tag] Champion. The winner also gets free entry into the 2007 Paddy Power Irish Poker Open, which will have prizes of over one million pounds.
