So i was reading an online buddy's blog and it touched on the topic of swinging. And no he was not offering services or sharing his experiences. But he was talking about how a country which is better known for its cleanliness and absurd fines has quite a number of individuals who participate in such activities. A country not too far away and a lot closer than you'd think, i'm talking about Singapore.
And so i read the linked article and it mentioned that this year they had their 2nd Sexpo. Never would i have thought that the government would actual endorse such exhibition. But i'm wondering how explicit it really was? Seeing that even Playboy is banned in the country. Hell even gum is banned! I'm only guessing visible nipples were masked out and porn stars [if any] were restricted to remain in their booth and were decently dressed.
Perhaps the government is reminding their citizens that 'Work and No Play' is in fact bad for the country as i am assuming more people are choosing not to marry young and are opting not to have children.
But it reminded me of when my [then] boyfriend and i went to the Sexpo in Melbourne a few years back and how excited i was to go. Spoilt for choice as a variety of toys for him and her were screaming for attention. Anything and everything related to pleasure and pain was on display. Big breasted women in ridiculously high platforms dished out samples of lubricants and random items. And if you were lucky, you may even get to meet your favorite porn star as there were scheduled times for them to meet their fans.
And although the percentage of dirty old men walking around was relatively small. There were just as many women, if not more there and was tastefully done. And comparing the Sexpo Singapore site and that of the Sexpo in Australia... it is obvious which one i would prefer to be at. A city where sex shops are just as common as 7-11's and isn't shy about their extra curricular activities.
One of many things that i miss about Melbourne.
