German exhibit focuses on Nazi sex slaves
BERLIN, Jan. 24th 2007 - An exhibit at the former Ravensbruck concentration camp in Germany is focusing on women forced to be sex slaves during the Nazi era in World War II.
The exhibit, which opened at the museum last week, reveals the forced sex labor. Insa Eschebach, the museum director, said the exhibit brings attention to an aspect of the Nazi concentration camps that has remained unknown for decades.
"Hardly any other part of concentration camp history has been so repressed and so tainted with prejudice and distortion," Eschebach said. "The women prisoners who were forced to work as prostitutes remained silent after 1945. Hardly any applied for financial compensation because talking about their experiences was too degrading for them."

Councils forced to pay for sex
Australia - January 25th 2007.
LEGAL confusion has forced some Melbourne councils to hire private investigators to have sex with prostitutes in illegal brothels to help shut them down, the Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) said. It was revealed today that at least six Melbourne councils had paid private investigators to receive "sexual services" from prostitutes to provide evidence against them. In more than a dozen cases, investigators hired by Melbourne and Yarra city councils had sex with the prostitutes. MAV president Dick Gross today said councils had to go to the extreme measures because the current legal requirements to prove the brothels were illegal were confusing. "Local government has to give two days' notice before an authorised officer enters into one of these premises," he said. "So we have to use private investigators, and there's legal controversy as to the current legal requirements (of proof). "Some lawyers say sexual services have to be provided. One case in the Melbourne Magistrates' Court failed because the investigator had not had sex. "My council (Port Phillip City Council) has been provided with advice that is different - that they ought not to accept an illegal service because it might contaminate the evidence." Mr Gross said the other government agencies responsible for policing illegal brothels had abandoned their responsibilities. "Victoria Police is saying that they won't enforce, the (licensing body) Victorian Ministry for Consumer Affairs have done a Houdini and have disappeared," he said. "The dynamics of this is that people in the community complain. These premises can be pretty heavy duty and disruptive, and local councils, who have the least ability to enforce these provisions, are cleaning up the mess. "And we're doing so in an environment of legal uncertainty." Mr Gross said the State Government must clarify the legal requirements of the Prostitution Control Act and clarify what evidence was needed to successfully prosecute illegal brothels and close them down. "You need provisions which say if an agency (such as police) says there's an allegation of illegal activity, then they don't have to do a triple somersault with pike to close them down," he said.
Sex offender turned in homework, played at recess
SURPRISE ARIZONA - Casey Price played at recess, did his homework, and was considered a good pupil. But Casey, a former student at Imagine School at Rosefield in Surprise, shouldn't have been enrolled. The supposed seventh-grader was actually a 29-year-old sex offender. Casey's real name is Neil Havens Roderick II and the man now sits in a Prescott jail on charges of fraud, forgery, identity theft and failure to register as a sex offender. The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office announced Friday a man tried to enroll a fake 12-year-old at Mingus Springs Charter School in Chino Valley, 90 miles northwest of Phoenix. The school was suspicious and called the Sheriff's office leading to the arrest of four men, including Roderick. After hearing the news on Friday, a former teacher at Imagine School realized Roderick had attended the Surprise charter school before trying to enroll in Chino Valley. The sex offender from Oklahoma was able to attend the Surprise school between August and November without parents, teachers or administrators realizing the con. "By all accounts he was quiet, he kept to himself most of the time and appeared to be a good student. He did his homework and turned it in," school spokeswoman Rhonda Cagle said. Roderick walked, talked and dressed like a teenager, said Susan Quayle, spokeswoman for the Yavapai sheriff's office. "You can't tell from his picture, but he's a very small guy. I would say he has delicate looking bone structure," she said. Roderick, a convicted sex offender from Oklahoma, stands at about 5-foot, 6-inches and weights about 120 pounds, Quayle said. He also shaved his body hair and wore pancake makeup to keep his disguise, she said. Surprise Police Department is investigating Roderick's time at the school. So far, there are no reports of inappropriate conduct. School officials said he was considered withdrawn in November due to lack of attendance, Cagle said. For whatever reason, Roderick, or "Casey," stopped going. Imagine, a 700-student school, is now trying to re-establish a sense of security at the school. All this week administrators are hosting closed-door meetings with parents to discuss concerns. Counselors are also on-hand all week to talk to students and their families, Cagle said. "Certainly the students, especially those in class with him, understand what's happened," Cagle said.
Some Interesting Sex Facts:
According to Playboy, more Americans lose their virginity in June than any other month. According to Playboy, more women talk dirty during sex than men. A whale's penis is called a dork. A capon is a castrated rooster. Armadillos have four babies at a time and they are always all the same sex. The Mola Mola, or Ocean Sunfish, lays up to 5,000,000 eggs at one time. The black widow spider can devour as many as twenty 'mates' in a single day. A male moth can smell a female moth from 100 yards away. A female mackerel lays about 500,000 eggs at one time. Male and female rats may have sex twenty times a day. A female can produce up to twelve litters of twenty rats a year: one pair of rats has the potential for 15,000 descendants in a year. Of the approximately 200 eggs laid by a female leatherback sea turtle an average of two will survive their youth and grow to sexual maturity. In Ventura County, California, cats and dogs are not allowed to have sex without a permit.
A female oyster over her lifetime may produce over 100 million young. Neutering a cat extends its life span by two or three years. A female dog, her mate and her puppies can potentially produce 12,288 dogs in five years. The largest eggs in the world are laid by a shark. In Kingsville, Texas, it is against the law for two pigs to have sex on the city's airport property. In certain species of seals, like the elephant seal, males may be several times larger than females because larger males can better defeat their rivals in territorial fights and so acquire larger harems. Squids are a large, diverse group of marine cephalopods. They begin mating with a circling nuptial dance, revolving around across a `spawning bed' (200 metres, in diameter). At daybreak, they begin having sex and continue all day long --they only take a break so the female can drive down and deposit eggs. When she returns to the circle, the two go at it again. As twilight falls, the pair go offshore to eat and rest. At the first sign of sunlight, they return to their spot and do it all over again. Penguins in general prefer to be `married', but they suffer long separations due to their migratory habits. When reunited, a pair will stand breast to breast, heads thrown back, singing loudly, with outstretched flippers trembling. Two weeks after a pair is formed, their union is consummated. The male makes his intentions known by laying his head across his partner's stomach. They go on a long trek to find privacy, but the actual process of intercourse takes only three minutes. Neither penguin will mate again that year. The male Adele penguin must select his mate from a colony of more than a million, and he indicates his choice by rolling a stone at the female's feet. Stones are scarce at mating time because many are needed to build walls around nests. It becomes commonplace for penguins to steal them from one another. If she accepts this gift, they stand belly to belly and sing a mating song. There is a common joke: "How do porcupines do it?" "Very carefully." But in reality, the truth is more bizarre than dangerous. Females are only receptive for a few hours a yearm, so they go off their food, and stick close by the males and mope. Meanwhile the male becomes aggressive with other males, and begins a period of carefully sniffing every place the female of his choice urinates, smelling her all over. This is a tremendous aphrodisiac. While she is sulking by his side, he begins to `sing'. When he is ready to make love, the female runs away if she's not ready. If she is in the mood, they both rear up and face each other, belly-to-belly. Then, males spray their ladies with a tremendous stream of urine, soaking their loved one from head to foot - the stream can shoot as far as 7 feet. It is advised never to stand close to a cage that contains courting porcupines. The female gastric-brooding frogs are a genus, Rheobatrachus, of frogs from East Australia. The curiosity with these frogs is their unique parental care: following external fertilisation by the male, the female would take the eggs into its mouth and swallow them. It is not clear, however, whether the females swallowed the tadpoles or the eggs, as it was never observed prior to their extinction. The last captive specimen died in 1984.
Red-sided Garter snakes are small and poisonous, and live in Canada and the Northwestern United States, and they prefer orgies. Their highly unusual mating takes place during an enormous orgy. Twenty-five thousand snakes slither together in a large den, eager to copulate. In that pile, one female may have as many as 100 males vying for her. These `nesting balls' grow as large as two feet high. Now and then a female is crushed under the heavy mound - and the males are so randy that they continue to copulate, becoming the only necrophiliac snakes! Hippos have their own form of aromatherapy. Hippos attract mates by marking territory, urinating and defecating at the same time. Then, an enamored hippo will twirl its tail like a propellor to spread this delicious slop in every direction. This attracts lovers, and a pair will begin foreplay, which consists of playing by splashing around in the water before settling down to business. Anglerfishes are bony fishes. Some of them have a unique mating method: Since individuals are rare and encounters doubly so, finding a mate is a problem, especially at a time when both individuals are ready to spawn. When a male anglerfish hatches, it is equipped with extremely well developed olfactory organs that detect scents in the water. They have no digestive system, and thus are unable to feed independently. They must find a female anglerfish, and quickly, or else they will die. When he finds a female, he bites into her flank, and releases an enzyme which digests the skin of his mouth and her body, fusing the pair down to the blood vessel level. The male then atrophies into nothing more than a pair of gonads that release sperm in response to hormones in the female's bloodstream indicating egg release. This is an extreme example of sexual dimorphism. However, it ensures that when the female is ready to spawn, she has a mate immediately available. The female mite known as Histiostoma murchiei creates her own husband from scratch. She lays eggs that turn into adults without needing to be fertilised. The mother then copulates with her sons within three to four days of laying the eggs, after which the sons die rather quickly. Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England - but only in tropical fish stores. (But of course!) In Maryland, it is illegal to sell condoms from vending machines with one exception: prophylactics may be dispensed from a vending machine only "in places where alcoholic beverages are sold for on the premises." The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation (but which head?). | |
