My kinda festival



Yup, it’s all true, check out the latest component to the Festival City that is Edinburgh in August, the Festival Erotique. Exotic dancing, sex shows and hardcore. Obviously a number of church folk and feminist groups are kicking up already. The churches I understand because they are terribly repressed after all and don’t like to see other having fun. But why do feminist groups assume that sexually explicit material degrades and offends women? Who said they talk for all women? I know women who love porno, especially some lesbian chums of mine. And if this all contributes to the downfall of society then why does the Netherlands, with hardcore porn, legalised prostitution, topless beaches and drug bars have the lowest sex crime and teen pregnancy rate in Western Europe. Loosen up! If you don’t like it don’t go, but don’t assume to tell me or anyone else what is good for us, we’re all adults. Okay some of us are perverted adults, but that’s beside the point. It’s being held in the Edinburgh Corn Exchange. I guess they could rename it the Porn Exchange for a few days…
