Sex not on smorgasbord in Delhi Sure, it's the homeland of the Kama Sutra, which was the ancient world's version of a Tantric Sex for Dummies, but what have they done for the advancement of sexual culture lately?  Not a damn thing, by the looks of it. In fact, Indian women are either the most tight-lipped sluts on the planet, or they're all so cold that you risk frostbite trying to get it on with 'em.Results from a survey conducted by newsmagazine India Today, one in four women nationwide regard sex with indifference at best. Almost half either wouldn't comment on the subject of oral sex or disavowed any knowledge or familiarity with the practice. According to the survey, most Indian women are trapped between "propriety and pleasure", the survey of women aged 19 to 50 found. "For 25 percent of women nationwide sexuality is still a problem area, treating it as they do with inexplicable indifference." Even more traditional expressions of lovemaking aren't very interesting to Indian women, as only eight percent of those polled have sex on a daily basis. And masturbation? Forget about it! "Masturbation and extramarital sex, associated with guilt across the world by women, have few takers in India," said the poll. A staggering 75 percent of Indian women never masturbated. Women were interviewed in their homes in 10 cities across the world's second most populous nation by the newsmagazine and AC Nielsen's Org Marg. As many as 2,305 women were interviewed. The survey report did not specify the margin of error. It found women in the southern city of Madras were most conservative, while Delhi women were comparatively happy to experiment in bed. It's time to bring some purely conjectural, layman science to bear on this issue. Personally, I think it's because they don't eat cows over there. Everybody knows that you can only feed wanton lust with beef, which is why Brazil has the horniest people in the world. London's imported whore epidemic England doesn't have the same puritanical problems with prostitution as the U.S…. it just doesn't want scumbags forcing imported 14-year-old Thai girls to be forced to blow old Tories to survive. Still, according to a report in a local London paper, the London Assembly Green Party is demanding that the Government do more to stem what it says is a tide of street prostitutes who have been inhumanely trafficked from foreign countries. A report by the Greens, written following a recent Green Party conference, alleges that trafficking of women for sexual exploitation in London is on the rise, and something needs to be done to address the issue urgently. The conference, which was co-hosted by Jean Lambert, Green MEP for London, and Jenny Jones, Green Deputy Mayor for London, brought together representatives from the police, Home Office, policy makers from the Greater London Authority, the Government and the European Union. "Human trafficking for sexual purposes is a plague for this century, characterized by a complete disregard for human welfare," Lambert said. "Its victims, mostly women and children, are identified by UK law as illegal immigrants rather than victims of crime. "This approach only serves the interests of the criminals. We must, as a nation, revolutionize our thinking on stopping this evil trade, and this must echo throughout our legal system." Metropolitan Police claim that London is the chief target area for the activity, and that in Soho alone, 80 percent of the women working in the sex industry are from outside the UK. Sex in Singapore: Censored no more  It looks like the Land of the Cane, Singapore, might finally be loosening up a little when it comes to censorship of sexually related materials.In a place where women's magazine Cosmopolitan has been banned for over two decades for "promoting unhealthy values" among women (I would agree with them, but for what I'm sure are radically different reasons), and scenes from Oscar-winning films like Titanic are deleted for content (oh, those poor people, never getting to see Kate Winslet's delectable boobies), authorities are starting to relax their, um, rigid standards. The most obvious example of this is the relenting of the government over HBO's infamous Sex and the City, which will soon be airing its lurid jokes for Singaporeans (?) to revel in. Information Minister Lee Boon Yang said Cosmo would be allowed but "shrink-wrapped to prevent browsing." Browsing. Yeah. You could see why, umm, they wouldn't want that. Very dangerous business, browsing. Then again, this isn't exactly the land of flowering freedom, so any progress is a good thing. Next maybe people can chew gum on the streets without fear of being bludgeoned by government sanction.
