Year after year the same protest goes on in New Zealand: someone tries to ban the Boobs on Bikes parade as an "offensive public event."

And year after year, the courts decide that Boobs on Bikes can go ahead. This year it's an Auckland court saying that since last year over 80,000 people gathered to watch the topless gals (and guys) ride motorbikes through the city streets, it obviously wasn't offensive to everybody.

That means that on Wednesday all visitors to Auckland will probably spot the Queens Street parade, a precursor to the Erotica Expo. Get there early, because those crowds mean it's hard to get a good viewing spot. And there's plenty to be viewed.

If you haven't been to the Museum of Sex in Manhattan yet you're missing out, especially when The Sex Lives of Animals exhibit begins this week. Starting July 24 and continuing through the spring of 2009, the exhibit reveals how sex in the animal world is just as diverse and complex as it is for humans.

Tickets are $14.50 for most, but you'll save a dollar if you're a student or a senior--and who wouldn't want to bring their grandma to something like this? Your entrance fee will grant you access to full-size interpretations of animal, uh, relationships by sculptor Rune Olsen. All giggles aside, the museum does seek to illustrate a part of the animal kingdom that isn't yet totally understood.

So if you're looking for two female monkeys engaging in rubbing, panda bears trying to perpetuate the species or two male dolphins checking out each other's blow holes--then this is the exhibit for you. Sounds lovely, right?

Nine British women were arrested after taking part in what Reuters is calling an "oral sex competition" on the island of Zakynthos. We're not exactly sure what that kind of competition involves, though we certainly have some ideas.

Additionally, 12 men, six British and six Greek, were detained and charged with "encouraging obscene behavior." Those charges stem from the fact that the women were paid to take part in the competition. Police say organizers also planned to post a video of the event online. Obviously.

The town of Laganas, where the bust happened, is known for hosting the kind of crowd that would be into oral sex competitions. All of a sudden, beach sex sounds sort of tame.

This weekend, we filled you in on an upcoming reading by Tony Perrottet, author of the new book "Napoleons's Privates: 2,500 Years of History Unzipped." But since not everyone out there will be able to make the event July 23 in NYC, Tony did this cool YouTube video about his quest to track down the emperor's privates.

He does indeed find the famous penis, hidden away in Englewood, New Jersey, with the family of a world-renowed urologist. What's it look like?

This is definitely genital! It's a little smaller than I thought.

Nevada is home to 28 legal brothels, and despite what you might think, most of them cater to truckers. The cat houses are located in rural areas and depend on business from horny long-haul drivers--and they're hurting thanks to the rising cost of gas.

Bobbi Davis of the Shady Lady Ranch told CNN:

Anything that has to do with discretionary income is down. Instead of spending $500 out here, [truckers] might only spend $300. I see it every time they raise gas prices.

In order to fight price hikes, Davis is offering discounted rates and gas card giveaways.

Brothels located near the casino meccas of Reno and Las Vegas say their business is up, but that hasn't stopped relentless self-promoter and Moonlite Bunny Ranch boss Dennis Hof from getting in on the recession discount publicity action. The Hof is launching a "Double Your Stimulus" special that gives customers who bring their government checks to the Bunny Ranch "twice the services for the same regular price."

Police in Miami busted an alleged "brothel bus" packed with prostitutes who offered undercover officers lap dances and blowjobs. The driver, cops say, had a stash of Viagra on hand for customers who needed a boost, while the bus itself had a strip club set up with a G-string clad staff, a full bar and a curtained off VIP room.

The cops paid a $40 cover charge to board the bus where lap dances allegedly cost $20 and oral sex could be had for $100. Admission to the VIP area cost $125. When one of the officers asked what that fee would get him, he was reportedly told:

You'll get your money's worth.

Sounds like Ryanair!

Can't afford a European vacation this summer? Do what our contributor Claire Duffett did: Explore Southeast Asia instead.

We lied. More common than spicy street food and heavy foot traffic in Bangkok is the sight of a balding, middle-aged man with a pockmarked face, potbelly and ponytail striding alongside a beautiful young Thai woman.

Their arrangement is apparent and immediate. Rather than get horrified, saddened or disgusted (and at times, my boyfriend, who co-wrote this travelog, and I felt all of the above), you'll have to accept if not embrace Bangkok's most common trade in order to enjoy the city.]]> ced138 2008-06-24T09:46:24-05:00 Search Jaunted string http://www.jaunted.com/search/
