Back to IndexAustralian Brothel hits Stockmarket Posted: 2002-07-22 by Mike B One of Australia's best known brothels, Melbourne's The Daily Planet Ltd, today announced it was going public, hoping to raise $12 million from private investors and eventually list on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). As sharemarkets around the world sag, Daily Planet director Andrew Harris was confident that if one thing could stand up it was the sex industry. "Because the old saying that sex sells is so true, because the adult industry is so massively popular and profitable, we believe the opportunities are unlimited," Mr Harris told reporters. "The profits in this industry are so high. "This place (The Daily Planet 'gentlemen's club') makes profits of up around 60 per cent. Most of the adult industry makes 60 per cent profit which means you can pay huge dividends to investors." Editor: Hah, the stock market meets the cock market!

Semen Makes Women Happy - Study Claims Posted: 2002-07-01 by Mike G Raj Persaud SPECIAL TO THE STAR Semen makes you happy. That's the conclusion of a study comparing women whose partners wear condoms with those whose partners don't. The study showed women who were directly exposed to semen were less depressed. Researchers think this is because mood-altering hormones in semen are absorbed through the vagina. They say they've ruled out other explanations. "I want to make it clear that we are not advocating that people abstain from using condoms," says psychologist Gordon Gallup of the State University of New York. He led the team that divided 293 female students into groups depending on how often their partners wore condoms, and assessed their happiness using the Beck Depression Inventory, a standard questionnaire for assessing mood. People who score over 17 are considered moderately depressed. The team found women whose partners never used condoms scored eight on average, those who sometimes used them scored 10.5, those who usually used them scored 15 and those who always used them scored 11.3. Women not having any sex scored 13.5. Gallup said his team already has unpublished data from a group of 700 women confirming the always-use group was more depressed than the usually use group, suggesting the discrepancy in the smaller study was a sampling error. The team also found depressive symptoms and suicide attempts more common among women who used condoms regularly compared with those who didn't. The results will appear in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior. But is it really semen that affects women's mood? Researchers say they looked at alternative explanations, such as whether women who seldom use condoms took oral contraceptives, how often they had sex, the strength of relationships, and the possibility a certain type of personality influenced the decision to use condoms. But none of these factors can explain their findings, they say. NEW SCIENTIST Long Distance Breast Exams! Posted: 2002-06-28 by Mike B Four women have contacted police after being persuaded to stand topless in their windows or balconies so that a satellite could give them a mammogram. The women, aged between 19 and 45, living in the Algarve, southern Portugal, were all contacted by telephone by a woman claiming to be a doctor. She told them that a revolutionary method had been developed of conducting breast examinations by satellite. They were told that the consultation would be free if they followed instructions by stripping to the waist and standing in view of the satellite. One woman was so trusting that she took off all her clothes for the "examination". Later, the women were telephoned with the alleged results of the examinations. The woman claiming to be a doctor then told them of her sexual desires in graphic detail. Editor: Fuuuuuuuck! Hey Ladies, I give tonsilectomy's with my cock.
