Emergency shipment of condoms headed to Olympic athletes

Rowdy curling crowds; spontaneous street parties; public drunkeness.

You don’t have to look far for evidence that the crowds at Winter Games in Vancouver know how to have a good time.

And, as if anymore proof is needed that a wild Olympic atmosphere permeates B.C.’s largest city, now there’s an apparent condom shortage.

That’s right. As you read this, an emergency shipment of condoms is desperately making its way across Canada to the West Coast city.

Health officials in Vancouver have already provided 100,000 free condoms to the roughly 7,000 ahtletes and officials at the Games. That’s about 14 condoms per person.

But as of Wednesday, those supplies started running dangerously low.

British backpackers ’spreading sexually transmitted diseases across Australia’

A survey of 1,008 backpackers at hostels in Sydney and the Queensland city Cairns found that British backpackers often had triple the number of sexual partners they would have normally at home, even if they were not single on arrival.

More than 45 per cent half of arrivals from Britain reported inconsistent condom use and 24 per cent had unprotected sex with multiple partners.

“Over a third (39.7 per cent) had multiple partners in Australia, increasing to 45.7 per cent in those arriving single,” the study’s British and Australian authors said in the October edition of Sexually Transmitted Infections, an international monthly journal on sexual health.

The survey also found that 60 per cent of men and 44 per cent of women used illicit drugs while on holiday in Australia. Authors of the reports said that high alcohol consumption, illicit drug use and unsafe sex combined to put backpackers at high risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection and other health problems.

Chips And Dip 

Meet Lahoma Sue Smith. The Oklahoma woman, 36, copped a plea last week to a prostitution charge for accepting a box of Frito-Lay chips in exchange for oral sex.

According to the below Oklahoma City Police Department report, john Faron Johnson told cops that he informed Smith that he did not have any money, but that she “agreed to give him a ‘blow job’ meaning oral sex, for a box of chips.”

Johnson, a Frito-Lay employee, provided Smith with a case of chips he valued at $30.

Unregulated Sperm Donation Causes 30 Women to Be Impregnated by Same Man

Unregulated sperm donation has led to a situation where children from the same community are potentially at risk for incestuous relationships.

Reverend Dr. Andrew Dutney, a reproductive technology expert in South Australia, said in one reported case, about 30 lesbians living in Adelaide, Australia, were impregnated by the sperm from one man.

Those mothers organized picnics so the children could get to know one another as siblings, thus reducing the risk for future romantic relationships.

In another case, a man?s sperm produced 29 children, all of whom were living in Adelaide. These children are unaware who their siblings are.

 All of these children were born about 10 years ago, which means they will reach adolescence in a few years.

Coffee Condoms Latest Weapon in War on AIDS in Ethiopia

A U.S.-based charity is hoping to fight the spread of AIDS with a unique product that appeals to coffee mania in the country that claims to have invented the drink: java-scented condoms for Ethiopia.

Washington D.C.-based DKT International says the novelty product addresses a serious issue. Ethiopia has an AIDS rate of 2.1 percent, and in the capital it is more than 7 percent, according to government estimates. Andrew Piller, director of DKT’s local chapter, said the aim of the coffee condoms was not to make money, but to make condom-users more comfortable.

Exotic dancer saves client with CPR in Port St. Lucie

A 25-year-old exotic dancer is being called a “hero” after performing CPR on a client who apparently stopped breathing during one of her performances, police said Friday.

While Karnesha Nantz danced Friday morning for Daniel Karpinski, 46, she “turned and faced away from him for approximately 20 seconds,” police stated.

When Nantz turned to face him, she noticed Karpinski slumped down on the couch and having problems breathing.

She called 911 and performed CPR on Karpinski because he wasn’t conscious or breathing and continued until paramedics arrived.

Topless Wife Photo Ends Man’s Pole Protest

Study Suggests Ice Cream May Aid Fertility

Ben & Jerry might help you get pregnant, but not in the usual way. A diet rich in ice cream and other high-fat dairy foods may lower the risk of one type of infertility, a study suggests. It sounds too good to be true and probably is, some doctors say.

But the findings are bound to get attention because they are from the well-known Nurses Health Study at the Harvard School of Public Health and were published Wednesday in the European journal Human Reproduction.

Researchers found that women who ate two or more low-fat dairy products a day were nearly twice as likely to have trouble conceiving because of lack of ovulation than women who ate less than one serving of such foods a week.

Zoo Tours Cash in on Hot Monkey Love

Valentine’s Day is the time of year when zoos around the nation seek to woo a new adult audience with risque tours that couple champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries and candlelight dining with impressive facts about how animals do the wild thing.

Credit for the concept goes to Jane Tollini, a former penguin keeper at the San Francisco Zoo. [Of course - where else would it come from? - ed.]   Tollini conceived the idea two decades ago while watching her penguins’ courtship ritual, which culminates in what she describes as “bowling pins making love.”

“The keepers get there early and we see things that other people don’t see,” Tollini said. “And I went, ‘My God, that’s fascinating.’ You know the old Peter Sellers line, ‘I like to watch?’ You kind of go, ‘Oh my, my, my. How big? How many? How far?’ It was unbelievable.”

Hospice helped dying man lose his virginity:

A young disabled man who receives care for his life-limiting illness at a hospice run by a nun spoke yesterday of his decision to use a prostitute to experience sex before he dies. Sister Frances Dominica gave her support to 22-year-old Nick Wallis, who was born with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Sufferers usually die by their thirties. Mr Wallis told staff at the Douglas House hospice in Oxford that he wanted to experience sexual intercourse. He explained that he had hoped to form an intimate and loving relationship with a woman, but his disability had acted as a barrier.

Catching the lovebug…Why beauty is infectious:

The first evidence that beauty is infectious is published today by scientists who have shown that when women see a rival smiling at a man, he becomes more attractive as a result.The research, published in a prestigious scientific journal, gives objective credence to a common practice among American men of asking a female friend to be their “lady wingman”, or even hiring a beautiful woman to flirt with them in a bar, party or club to make them appear more attractive to others.
