Legal Swingers Clubs Fuel Growth in Canadian Group Sex Activity

TORONTO, Ontario, May 16, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – More people are trying out group sex and partner swapping, said a report by the Canadian Press on Sunday, after last year’s Supreme Court decision to legalize swingers clubs in Canada.

Operators of private clubs offering group sexual activity said they have seen a significant increase in participation over the five months since the Supreme Court said such activity was not indecent and did not constitute public harm.

Aurora Ben Zion, who runs Toronto’s largest swingers club, claiming 13,000 members, told the CP the ruling made people more comfortable about experimenting with group sex.

“They think, ‘I’m not a freak, it’s okay to do this, and I’m going to try it out.’ It not only legalized it, I think it legitimized it in the eyes of public opinion.”

The increase in activity does not come as a surprise to those who oppose the ruling. Mary Ellen Douglas is national organizer of Campaign Life Coalition. She sees the legalization of swingers clubs as a symptom of increasing moral decay in the country.

“It shows we are becoming more and more degenerate as a nation. Sex clubs themselves are not new, they’ve been around since Adam and Eve. But [the increase] shows the downward spiral of our country.”

At the time of the Supreme Court decision, Gwen Landolt, vice president of Real Women of Canada, made a similar statement to LifeSiteNews, saying, “The courts are gradually reducing public concern about morality and behaviour that is offensive.”

“There is a real trend to break down moral principles in Canadian society. Those principles have been built based on human experience about what is in the best interest of society.”

Janet Epp Buckingham, director of law and public policy for the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, told CP the issue is important because Canadians are concerned about swingers clubs

“They’re concerned about the fidelity of relationships, but they’re also concerned about the spread of disease.”

Under the Supreme Court ruling, adult group sexual activity is legal so long as it takes place in a (somewhat) private setting, all participants give consent and money is not directly exchanged for sex.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I had no idea.

[trubluolyguy]

So long as one is not a participant, why should he/she need to concern himself about either?

Agreed.

The image of some low-lifes with chlamydia, and/or HIV, and/or hepatitis, and/or in fected with Lord knows what, is NOT appealing.

The swinger clubs are a symotom of genuine societal collapse, Moral values are on a much more rapid decline in amoral socialist Canada, than in the US. Canada is not a fit society anymore to raise children. The fertility of Canada is therefore dropping like a stone, already far below replacement rate. The current ethnic Canadian population will become extinct in 40 years, relaced by muslims, Africans, asians, etc.

Canada is now dependent on massive immigration from the third world to keep their collapsing massive high tax society afloat. (US fertility is at replacement rate of 2.1 babies per woman, higher than any other industrialized First Worrld nation.)

True, but this is Canada, so a joint's ok.

Just as long as it's not tobacco in that joint.........

symotom = symptom

Hot, naked swinger here. Do not click if you are offended by voluptous curves.

What can you expect from a society that puts gravy on their french fries?

[Redcloak]

I never would have imagined that the Canuckistanis could be so interesting. In fact, I would have expected them to reject such behavior on the grounds that group sex appears in American pornography.

[wagglebee]

I was in Winnipeg a few years ago and at McDonalds they serve fries with BEAN CURDS and some disgusting looking cheese sauce.

[DaGman]

"Just more sickening "foreign" law that the US courts will try to force on us."

The US courts needn't bother. Swinger clubs are very legal in many if not all states in the US and exist in varying degrees in all major cities. You just don't see them because they're very discreet.

[FormerACLUmember]

That is about right.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

How was Winnipeg? I'm considering taking a getaway weekend up there. I already been to Toronto.

[wagglebee]

It was rather depressing if you want to know the truth. There is absolutely nothing to do, go to Calgary it's much nicer. The only time Winnipeg is worthwhile is during hunting season.

[rod1]

St Louis still has and ice hockey team? How come I never heard about them this year?

[bleach]

Johnson City, Tennessee should be the first U.S. franchise.

[Yossarian]

Don't worry. All this will stop once hockey season begins.

Are you kidding? You know the reason why so many Canadians have sex in the doggy position, right?...

...it's so both of them can watch the hockey game, eh?

[Pukin Dog]

And they all smell like maple syrup. Damn them!

We have read of one of the founding fathers and I believe, one of the creators of the Constitution, warning of the "black robes". The American Supreme Court is pictured thus- black robed.

The Canadian Supreme Court is pictured in bright red robes. Recently we saw the resignation of Canadian minister Vellacott. He commented on Supreme Court Judge, Beverley Mclachlin. The Judge had addressed a University in New Zealand. Thus:

"The rule of law requires judges to uphold unwritten constitutional norms,even in the face of clearly enacted laws or hostile public opinion"

He said she was playing God. I saw a shrill holier than thou, editorial. This in a Canadian newspaper. It went on, "must remain aloof, cannot be publically criticised" and "integrity of the court must be preserved from open criticism". Herewith Peter Libra's salute, to you know who .

Hosanna . Peace be to you, peace be with you, peace be upon you- and may ye bugger and slaughter each other to kingdom come. (With apologies to the late Henry Miller and his Rosy Crucificion).
