...When do you ever see empty seats [anymore]?" June says, observing that the frequency of on-board trysts has recently dipped. But the mere lack of privacy (or blankets or booze) isn't likely to stop the most determined couples. Rachel Kramer Bussel, editor of the upcoming collection of erotica, The Mile High Club: Plane Sex Stories (Cleis Press), says, "I think it depends. Anyone who's horny and creative enough can find a way to do it. The key to joining the mile-high club is having a sense of naughtiness and adventure, and if you have that...
...prostitutes (some of them men) still show off their bodies in about 400 display windows, wearing sliver-sized underwear and heavy makeup. But other traders of more immediate use to locals, like food stores, have largely vanished from these streets and been replaced by a profusion of sex shows, erotica stores, pornography cinemas and at least 150 brothels. Amsterdam's sex industry is worth tens of millions of euros per year, officials say.

...movie screen. Body of Evidence, in which she played a woman accused of killing her lover with sex, earned just $14 million at the U.S. box office, less than her 1991 documentary Truth or Dare.

Last summer she opened a cookery school, where award-winning chef Noel McMeel runs quirky courses like Guilt-Free Cooking, Food & Erotica and Men Only. And earlier this year she launched an exclusive club that offers members unlimited stays, visiting rights to Leslie "outposts" in France and Italy, and reciprocal arrangements with other clubs, such as London's Groucho Club. The 35-bedroom hunting lodge houses a Victorian spa with steam boxes and organic...
...books most personally important to them. The results found that men were drawn to books about isolationism (number one was Camus’ “The Outsider”), while women tended toward Austen and Brontë novels focusing on social relationships. Men and women have differences in erotica preferences as well: studies have shown that women react more, let’s say, strongly to sexually explicit stories featuring dominant female protagonists, as opposed to dominant males. But not only do women read differently, they read more. At least anecdotally, it seems that women are the overwhelming majority...
