 I’ve never had the chance to join the mile high club. Sigh. First of all, I don’t fly that often, and usually alone. (And usually, for circumstantial reasons, one-way; something that has caused me much grief at the security counter in these days of Code Orange.)  Second, as a man who clearly has never met a plate of chicken ‘n’ waffles he didn’t like, I couldn’t imagine trying to have sex in one of those closet-sized restrooms unless it was with somebody slightly less curvy and voluptuous than a 13-year-old Thai boy. Shit, masturbation might even be outta the question…Besides that, does this phenomenon even exist in post-9/11 air travel culture? The last in-flight lavatory I saw was right next to the armored pilot doors (which reminds me—these are fine, but do we really want a guy whose passengers only know him as “Cap’n Bill” to have a firearm on board? I think not… ), and was being closely watched by two flight attendants whose acrylic nails would easily have disabled the most rabid, wild-eyed Saudi national. So unless you’re willing to claim some kind of incontinence to excuse your partner’s presence in that stall with you, it’s not gonna happen. You could go to South America, though, where clever entrepreneurs in Chile have discovered a way to re-introduce the mile high sexcapade back into post-terrorist flying. In Santiago, the nation’s capitol, a local brothel by the name of Fiorella has launched a small fleet of aircraft with in-flight service that makes America’s newly launched Hooters airline seem like El Al in comparison. According to Reuters, Fiorella is offering clients flights over the capitol city with two hot “flight attendants” who assumedly do much more than smile coyly as they hand you a bag of pretzels. Clients pick their attendants in advance from a pool of Fiorella’s girls, all of whom are multilingual (no pun intended) and between the ages of 18 and 26. For the price of 350,000 pesos (less than $500 US, £300 UK), the customer gets 90 minutes of fun, fruit and fodder (in the form of champagne). "We've been offering this service for around a month-and-a-half now. The standard service is for a gentleman accompanied by two of our girls, but we can also accommodate a group session," a woman answering the business' phone line told Reuters on condition of anonymity. How’s that for flying the friendly skies? Sex museum has Seoul Lately, all you hear about Korea is how Kim Jung Il (who’s reportedly a little like Hitler, but without his, um, good looks?) is turning the Peninsula into a staging ground for global nuclear annihilation.  Wotta bummer.Well, meanwhile, Il’s neighbors to the south continue to thrive and advance as a relatively affluent culture; though affluent by North Korea’s standards would be the occasional bit of dog or fish head in one’s bowl of rice. And in as much as the expression of sexuality through art and artifacts is a bellwether for any healthy society, the capitol city of Seoul can now boast a hale climate indeed with the opening of a museum dedicated to sex. Korea, like many Asian countries, has long had a reputation for its residents being tight-lipped about the subject of sex, even while industries based on sex have thrived on the promise of young women who pledge to offer services to their clients for what can best be summed up as “long time!” But lately, with the emergence of accessible pornography in this tech-happy culture (westerners are often surprised at the level of gadgetry available here that has yet to hit outside markets), the time has become ripe for the Asia Eros Museum, which offers glimpses of Japanese erotica and other salacious items, all for just 10,000 won (about $8 US, £5 UK… whew! Really giving that currency translator a workout today!). "It's time to break the taboo and start a discourse on sex, its pleasure, its distortions and superstitions," says Martin Shim, a curator at Asia Eros Museum. The narrow three-story museum exhibits hundreds of erotic artifacts, from Indian carvings and Cambodian statutes to Chinese folding screens and Korean paintings. It also illustrates Chinese erotic foot-binding and ancient Korean worship for a penis-shaped rock believed to help women bear boys. I gotta penis-shaped rock for ya… yeah…
