A businessman was getting ready to go on a extended business trip. He knew his wife was a flirtatious sort with an extremely healthy sex drive, so he thought he'd better buy her a little something to keep her occupied while he was gone.

He went to a store that sold sex toys and started looking around for something special to please his wife, and started talking to the old man behind the counter. He explained his situation.

The old man said, "Well, We have vibrating dildos, special attachments, and so on, but I don't know of anything that will keep her occupied for weeks, except," and he stopped.

The old man reached under the counter, and pulled out a very old wooden box, carved with strange symbols and erotic images. He opened it, and there lay an ordinary-looking dildo.

The businessman laughed, and said, "Big deal! It looks like every other dildo in this shop!" The old man replied, "But you haven't seen what it'll do yet." He pointed to a door and said, "Voodoo Penis, the door."

The Voodoo Penis miraculously rose out of its box, darted over to the door, and started pounding the keyhole. The whole door shook wildly with the vibrations, so much so that a crack began to form down the middle. Before the door split, the old man said "Voodoo Penis, return to box!"

The Voodoo Penis stopped, levitated back to the box and lay there quiet once more. "I'll take it!" said the businessman. The guy took it home to his wife, told her it was a special dildo and that to use it, all she had to do was say "Voodoo Penis, my crotch."

After he'd been gone a few days, the wife was unbearably horny and remembered the Voodoo Penis. She undressed, opened the box and said "Voodoo Penis, my crotch!" The Voodoo Penis shot to her crotch and started pumping. It was absolutely incredible, like nothing she'd ever experienced before. After three mind shattering orgasms, she became exhausted and decided she'd had enough.

She tried to pull it out, but it was stuck in her, still thrusting. She tried and tried to get it out, but nothing worked. Her husband had forgotten to tell her how to shut it off. Worried, she decided to go to the hospital to see if they could help. She put her clothes on, got in the car and started to drive, quivering with every thrust of the dildo.

On the way, another incredibly intense orgasm made her swerve all over the road. A police officer saw this and immediately pulled her over. He asked for her license, and then asked how much she'd had to drink. Gasping and twitching, she explained, "I haven't had anything to drink, officer. You see, I've got this Voodoo Penis thing stuck in my crotch and it won't stop screwing me!" The officer looked at her for a second, shook his head and in an arrogant voice replied, "Yeah, right... Voodoo Penis, my ass."

The War On Adult Stores
The Government Is Controlling What You Watch & Purchase-
The revised Title 18 U.S.C. � 2257 Law

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has been threatening to make it almost impossible to sell better sex and adult videos or pictures for some time now, but they finally have implemented a law which takes effect June 23rd, 2005 to attempt to do just that. This article will explain to you the consumer, what that means to you.

How I Came To The Conclusions I Did In This Article Based On The Title 18 2257 Revisions.

Lisa S. Lawless, Ph.D. CEO
NASAE & Holistic Wisdom, Inc. Founder

There is a law that was created in 1988 to protect minors from appearing in adult films, etc... a good law if you ask me as I am very much against minors being involved in anything of the like. The law was in a document called Title 18 U.S.C. � 2257, which is a Federal Record-keeping and Labeling law that required anyone who photographed or filmed a person in the US to have them complete a form that acknowledged that they were 18 years of age or older. They had to provide a picture I.D. issued by the state. and provide any aliases they may have. They needed to provide their legal name, home address and have a witness sign the document. This was a good law that helped to reduce the chance that a minor was being filmed or photographed sexually.

The New Law

What the Department of Justice has now done to change this law using the "excuse" of protecting minors (when in reality it is clear they are trying to impair the adult industry) is an outrage and WILL affect you if you have any liking of sexuality and sexual products, videos, pictures, etc.

The DOJ is now demanding that not only will a producer have the Title 18 U.S.C. � 2257 information for each model that has been photographed or filmed but that anyone who sells or displays the photographs or video has to have that document on file which includes the distributors, retailers and anyone who shows pictures of that model on their web site.

What Types Of Pictures Or Video Is This Talking About?

This pertains to any visual depiction of an actual human being engaged in actual sexually explicit conduct in a book, picture, video, streaming video, thumbnail... you name it.

What do they mean when the say "sexually explicit?" This means (sexual intercourse, including genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital, or oral-anal, whether between persons of the same or opposite sex; bestiality; masturbation; sadistic or masochistic abuse; or lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of any person).

The DOJ calls these businesses and individuals who sell or promote such material "Secondary Producers" even though they did not produce anything and are only displaying and/or selling what the "Primary Producer" made!

Under the revised Title 18 U.S.C. � 2257 law, the so-called �secondary producers,� such as many webmasters, will be required to have Title 18 U.S.C. � 2257 records for all sexually explicit depiction dating back to 1995. For many, this will create a huge problem, because secondary producers will have to locate records from primary producers who may have moved, shut down, or otherwise disappeared.

This means that the adult community has exactly one month to secure these files and make sure everything in them complies with the new regulations, because the arrests could hit anytime after June 24, and the general consensus is that it'll hit webmasters first and hardest.

What Are The Penalties For Not Complying?

In the immediate future, you're going to be seeing inspections and arrests, not because of 'illegal' content, but because webmasters and stores don't have the records because they always thought that it was and should be the producer's job to make sure that the models are over 18 years of age. Violation of 18 U.S.C. 2257 is good for up to 10 years in federal prison... per violation!

Example

Below is a very small scale of what this will look like. Imagine that it is for one video with six models in it. All six of the model's personal information, home address, real name, and picture of their ID has to be on file with every single store or individual who sells that video. Now, imagine that each website who carries and displays (perhaps even streams the videos) of hundreds of videos has the burden to have all of those files for each model in every video they carry!

This isn't just for retailers either... this is for anyone displaying such pictures on their web site, etc.! So what happens if you don't comply? Well, you can go to jail! Yep, that is right... even if a producer has proof that the models were over 18 years of age and no minors were involved... if you do not have the paperwork and you display the photographs or video or sell them... you are now breaking the law.

What harm has been committed here is beyond me. Why we now have to go to the trouble of proving that all the videos that we carry are of models of 18 years of age or older by having those model's Title 18 U.S.C. � 2257 forms on file is truly a conservative agenda to make the adult industry fight to stay alive.

The Real Motivation Is Not Protecting Kids

This is clearly not about protecting minors. If the Department of Justice really wanted to protect minors they would simply have producers of pictures and video, etc. provide documentation directly to them in a federal database proving the models in film or photographs are adults. Simple enough right?

It would work well this way, because everything would have to be registered with them and if it wasn't then they could easily check. However, the REAL MOTIVATION is to shut down adult retailers and you can bet they have a list of companies they are going to start with... and you can also bet that getting access to any kind of sexual content will be increasingly difficult as the the DOJ continues to take away the freedoms of Americans.

This is an attack, we are back to the dark ages of witch hunts and instead of burning innocent people at the stake they are putting them in jail and ripping apart their businesses and families.

Why is sexuality so terrifying in this day and age? Why is masturbation and nudity seen as something that is listed right beside beastiliaty and child molestation? Have people absolutely lost their minds? They are so different than one another. It is like comparing someone who has a normal sleep pattern to someone who has narcolepsy. One is normal, one is an illness!

Over fifty percent of the web sites out there will most likely be devastated because they're carrying content, either thumbnails or streaming or fixed photos that they have no records for and they will be at risk to get 10 years in the slammer for it.

Breach Of Confidentiality

This does not even mention the incredible breach of confidentiality that is going on here. The models have to provide their home address, real names and photos of their ID cards to all of these retailers, which in turn basically makes it public information!?! That is absurd. Do you know how many psychos want to track down models in the adult industry and now we are having to pass around their real names and home address!?!

Making It Very Hard To Sell Videos Or Show Pictures

This new law is requiring stores like ours to have to track down producers and ask them for the paperwork on all of their models in order to display and sell their video. Until we have that paperwork on file, we cannot show the images online or sell them without breaking the law. It is evident that the US is becoming less and less of a free democracy making it more and more difficult for adults to enjoy and be educated on the basic human right of sexuality.

This Is Not Just For Retailers

The law does not state that you have to be selling the products to have to comply with the law. So that means that even if you just have such pictures on a web site or are giving it away items with such images away for free... you have to have the 2257 model releases.

The DOJ can even come after individual personal web sites and make sure that you have the proper paperwork and release forms for you and your girlfriend's nude pictures on the web! If not... you could get 10 years in the slammer under this new law!

The Free Speech Coalition Are Fighting This!

Now that the regulations have been published, FSC (Free Speech Coalition) will go into federal district court to seek an injunction on behalf of its members. FSC plans two lawsuits, led by premiere First Amendment attorneys, one to be filed on the West Coast by H. Louis Sirkin, and the other by Paul Cambria on the East Coast.

The DOJ has amended some requirements from its original proposal, but in many areas the final version is unbending, making compliance extremely difficult, if not impossible.

Will They Win?

Right now, it looks to be a long arduous task. The FSC may make a dent in some minor changes, but overall this ridiculous law looks like it may stay around to stomp on the sexual freedoms of all Americans. Only time will tell.

What Will Become Of Our Company & Products

With such a conservative, anti-sex government right now it is hard to predict the future. While we may have to discontinue selling some of our videos an products until we can find the producers to get the necessary paperwork on each of the models, we will do our best to keep our current selection available.

However, what you may see happen is that we like many companies may be unable to secure some of the proper release forms on some of the older videos as the producers may be impossible to find.

A state corrections officer faces charges related to him secretly video taping members of his family as they used the bathroom. Troy Cates, 37, was arrested and was released on his own recognizance. Authorities said the family members were taped as they were undressed by a camera hidden in a bathroom lamp. The prosecutor's office has not released the relationship of the two alleged victims to Cates. Cates has been suspended with pay from the state Department of Corrections, where he is a senior corrections officer.

Japanese women�s bottoms, or lack thereof, have long been the "butt" of jokes, and now most Japanese girls want bigger, rounder butts. Many of the 20-30 year old women Aera Weekly interviewed for it's story said their ideal butt shape is �like a foreigner�s.� By that, they mean the typical Western model�s rounded buttocks and not quite the JLo booty.

Nobuo Masataka, head of the Kyoto University Primate Research, argues that the bottom may have more to do about a women�s sex appeal than she thinks. Masataka, who specializes in comparing the behavior of humans and other primates, says that when a female Japanese monkey is in heat, her buttocks get bigger, rounder and turn bright red. This is a sign to male monkeys that she�s ready for action.

�This is what causes men to find the buttocks sexually appealing and the growing preference for rounder buttocks and may be women�s reaction to men�s tastes,� Masataka suggests.

Police Rescue S&M Sex Slave Stuck In Trunk

German police, alerted to a potential kidnapping, "freed" a man from a car trunk only to discover the would-be victim was actually a willing sex slave. Police stopped the car after a concerned caller told them he had seen a woman locking someone in the the trunk. However, on opening it, they were greeted by the sight of the 39-year-old man wearing nothing but a leather thong and a collar. "It turned out they were a couple from the S&M scene. The 'mistress' was driving, with the slave in the boot," said a police spokesman in the southern town of Bayreuth. Deciding the rear of the car was not safe for the man, officers told him to sit inside the car and sent the pair on their way.

People who solicit prostitutes in Oakland, California, could find their faces plastered on billboards under a new shaming program that one civil rights group calls bad public policy. The city of 400,000 across the bay from San Francisco started putting up billboards on Wednesday showing men arrested for soliciting sex.

Other signs invite prostitutes to quit by calling a help line. "This idea came out of just thinking about new ideas, doing something to deal with this increasing problem, especially with the exploitation of underage women," said Oakland City Council President Ignacio De La Fuente, who champions the approach.

The photos on the billboards were partially blurred so the men are not easily identifiable. But in the future photos might be displayed unaltered, an aide to De La Fuente said. Critics say the technique -- which De La Fuente said has been used in Texas -- recalls medieval public humiliations.

"It doesn't seem to us to be appropriate for Oakland to be using shaming as an additional and extrajudicial punishment to single out this group of offenders," said Alan Schlosser, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union for Northern California.

"We don't think this is good public policy." Some newspapers have long printed the names of those soliciting sex for money, and courts have backed punishments that include shaming. Last year a US federal appeals court allowed a punishment in which a mail thief had to wear a signboard telling of his crime.

Sex sites will soon be able to sign up for Web addresses in the .xxx Internet domain, but a virtual red light district won't guarantee that people can avoid pornography online, Internet experts said. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers said it would move ahead with plans to set up a separate Xxx Internet domain for sexually explicit material. Sex sites won't be required to sign up for Xxx addresses. But the new domain will enable porn sites to label themselves clearly and help filtering software keep underage users away, according to ICM Registry Inc., the company that will oversee the domain.

"This is a voluntary initiative," said Robert Corn-Revere, a Washington lawyer who helped ICM develop its proposal. "We're not trying to put it forward as the ultimate solution for everything." Child-safety advocate Donna Rice Hughes said Xxx won't help people avoid online porn because sex sites will still be able to hold on to their old .com domain names. "It's a nice little red-light district for the pornographers, but I don't think it's going to do anything to protect kids," said Hughes, president of the group Enough is Enough. "It's not going to make filters work any better."

A spokeswoman for Playboy Enterprises Inc. said the adult entertainment company had no plans to move any of its Web sites to the new domain. Pornography accounts for more than 10 percent of online traffic and there are more than 1 million porn Web sites currently online, according to ICM. Efforts to ban or segregate online pornography have failed for years.

The US Congress in 1996 prohibited the "knowing transmission" of obscene or indecent messages to anyone under 18 years old, but the Supreme Court struck that law down a year later on the grounds that it was too broad. A narrower 1998 attempt has never enforced due to a court challenge. ICANN, an international nonprofit body, has in the past resisted congressional attempts to set up a domain for sex sites on the grounds that it doesn't want to regulate online content.

Over the past three years, the federal government has awarded more than one million dollars to the "Silver Ring Thing," an abstinence-only organization that describes its mission as "offering a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as the best way to live a sexually pure life."

In response to a lawsuit filed by the ACLU and Jenner & Block LLP against the federal government for funding religious activities in an abstinence-only program, the Silver Ring Thing substantially altered and removed religious content from its website.

During the "Silver Ring Thing's" flagship three-hour program members testify about how accepting Jesus Christ improved their lives, quote Bible passages, and urge audience members to ask the Lord Jesus Christ to come into their lives. In addition, the official silver ring of the program is inscribed with a reference to the biblical verse "1 Thess. 4:3-4," which reads "God wants you to be holy, so you should keep clear of all sexual sin. Then each of you will control your body and live in holiness and honor."

The "Silver Ring Thing" is an extensive, nationwide effort that uses government funds for aggressive religious recruitment. Since April 2003, it has held three events in the Boston area and is scheduled to hold a fourth in October of this year. But, it has also held events in Alabama, Connecticut, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia, and Wisconsin and is scheduled to visit Georgia, Ohio, and North Carolina, among other states, in the coming year.

"A sanitized version of the website does not change the fact that the "Silver Ring Thing" in its core programming is nothing more than a vehicle for converting young people to Christianity," said Sarah Wunsch, a staff attorney at the ACLU of Massachusetts. "Taxpayer dollars should play no part in such a program."

A federal court struck down Nebraska's anti-gay union constitutional amendment that bans any and all forms of legal recognition for same-sex relationships, including domestic partnerships and other basic protections. The state is expected to appeal the case to the US Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit. The Court noted in its ruling that the plaintiffs in the case had not requested any recognition of their relationships through marriage or any other legal status, but merely sought an equal opportunity to persuade legislators of the need for protections. Judge Joseph F. Bataillon went on to say, "The court finds Section 29 is a denial of access to one of our most fundamental sources of protection, the government. Such broad exclusion from an almost limitless number of transactions and endeavors that constitute ordinary civil life in a free society' is 'itself a denial of equal protections in the literal sense.'"
