That’s funny, my initial reaction to the article was the opposite of yours. She _doesn’t_ have the right to do whatever she pleases in her own home. It’s ok for her to beat a guy’s ass red, but if she dares to touch his willy – in the privacy of her own basement – she’s in big trouble. Doesn’t it seem the least bit absurd that the police have any business investigating this woman (i.e., doesn’t this make the law under which she is being investigated seem ridiculous)?

I’m dumbfounded by your dumbfoundedness. This passes for “so-called” journalism in Indy?

Numerous dungeons operate openly in Philly. While a ‘massage parlor’ or ‘spa’ focuses on physical acts, dungeons focus on acting and playing out a client’s fantasy. Dungeons are legal as no sexual conact is allowed. Note, having once had a long chat with a woman who worked in one, this rule is very real. Offering more money or proving that you are not a cop will not allow you to buy sex. Finding a prostitute in Philly is easy. Finding a woman who can hogtie you with Christmas lights, and give an hour-long speech on how the assimilation of earth by the Borg will be your fault becuase you’ve failed as a Star Fleet officer and a man, is not.

Not surprisingly, HBO(who brought you the Real Sex series) has done a documentary specifically on dungeons.

Say, **Bosda** , ya ever been to Old Fort Park, there in the 'Boro? Unless things have changed, I _strongly_ recommend you _not_ pay a visit to the men’s restrooms there, as it’s a known “pick up” place for gay men. I’ve had friends who’ve wandered in there to take a leak and found all kinds of “festivities” go on. Supposedly, it’s listed in a “Gay Man’s Travel Guide” as _the_ place to meet folks. (Well, there and the men’s bathrooms at MTSU.)

Ever been by “Flatrock”? It’s an “interesting” hippie commune in the 'Boro. I seriously doubt that most of the “houses” there are up to codes.

There’s even a “swingers” hang out in the 'Boro, IIRC. Given what _little_ I know about the 'Boro’s steamy underside (I didn’t get out much, and never made it to “Miss Sally’s” house, before she switched from prostitution [also famous for her fried chicken!] to illegal liquor), I wouldn’t be surprised if there _wasn’t_ such a place there. In fact, now that I think about, I probably knew a couple of folks who’d work there, if there was one!

Fried chicken and whores, now that’s what I’d call a perfect match.

\*From the web article: \*

What the hell is ‘Girls Inc.’, serving 3,500 young girls? What was the point of putting this information in the article? 😕

Apart from that, I too fail to understand your amazement **Bosda**. Next to the church is a perfect place…after going to confession, the parishioners can pop next-door to do some _real_ penance. 😃

I think La Nouvelle Justine closed, though the tranvestite-themed restaurant around the corner is still doing good business.

Just as well, it was expensive, and the food was more torture than intended.

Seems to be a variation of the Girl Scouts…perhaps it was intended as another reason that the Maitresse Miss Ann should be ashamed of herself.
