A policewoman was arrested and charged with corruption after she was caught having sex with a prisoner at the Scottburgh police station, the Natal Witness reported on Wednesday.

Lt-Col Zandra Wiid told the paper the prisoner, Sibusiso Ndaba, and officer previously had an intimate relationship.

Ndaba was arrested in December 2010 for a cash heist in Ixopo. He and five of his co-accused appeared in the Ramsgate High Court on Monday on charges of robbery, theft with aggravating circumstances, and illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.

After the six had appeared in court Ndaba asked to go to the bank. Five of his co-accused were taken back to Umzinto where they were being held.

Wiid said Ndaba was escorted to the bank, but finished late and could not be taken back to prison. He was taken to the Scottburgh police station where he was caught having sex with the officer.

The constable was also allegedly involved in the case against Ndaba. An internal investigation into the incident was underway. The officer had not appeared in court yet. – Sapa

Girls sell sex for just R25

lolly lounges may 22

“Maak ’n move daar (make a move there).” That’s the phrase men use when they see a girl they fancy in a so-called lolly lounge.

They approach the owner of the place and request to have sex with the girls. The girl who is chosen doesn’t know any better because all she wants is a fix to get high.

The men are allowed to do anything they want to the girls. They are sold for sex for as little as R25.

“It’s like living in a cocoon,” said Nicollette Abrahams, 31, of Waterval, who spoke of the nightmare she had undergone after she had became hooked on drugs.

The recovering addict has been clean for six months and knows all about the drug dens. She started taking drugs at the age of 13, two months after her mother died.

“I started off just smoking weed, then I moved to ecstasy and moved on to crack and crystal meth,” she said on Monday.

Abrahams said the lounges were like dumps – the toilets did not flush and were filled with waste. There was no running water. The floors were filled with pipes, paper and dagga, among other drugs.

She said the rooms often contained just a base and a mattress.

Abrahams said girls ended up in the lounges by chance. “They’re scared to go home. They don’t mean to go forever. They tell themselves they’ll just take one hit and go back home,” she said.

Abrahams said when she went to these places, she would end up becoming nervous for a fix and find herself moving to the next lounge with whoever wanted to take her.

“I would leave my children for a whole month, chasing drugs. It’s like in your head you’re saying, ‘I don’t know where I’m going to, but I know I need a fix,’” she said.

Abrahams said the mistake parents made was to think the girls liked being in those lounges.

“It just goes on and on. The drug tells you not to go home… The men at these lounges even convince you your family doesn’t want you any more,” she said.

Abrahams found herself in the same space as men old enough to be her father. “In theses lounges, you find guys as old as 60 hanging around there. They are husbands and fathers,” she said. “They welcome you so nicely and you just have fun with them and because you are having fun, you bring a buddy the next time around then another one and the cycle continues,” said Abrahams.

She has been raped three times and was drugged up on all three occasions. “The third time it happened, I was sold by a friend,” she said.

After being invited to a party, a friend wanting to buy drugs from someone offered Abrahams as payment. “I didn’t even know I had been sold (for sex),” she said.

Abrahams considers herself lucky. She said girls were killed after they had been raped in some instances.

A lot of the girls choose not to speak of their experience in the lounges. “No girl wants to say that she had five guys sleeping with her, but we all know the truth,” she said.

In Eldorado Park, the dens are called suikerhuisies (sugar houses).

Community police forum chairman Victor Olivier said on Monday that there were at least 10 in the area. Girls as young as 12 and 13 wandered in and out of them. That was how the residents knew.

The girls went in and only came out days later. “From about 2010, it has been getting strong here,” said Olivier. “It’s when the tik thing came to Eldos. That’s where it started.”

And while some children might be abducted, most were running away from home, he said.

“The kids don’t go to school any more,” he said. “Their friends tell them about where the suikerhuisies are and they go smoke for the day. They say it takes them away from Eldos and puts them in a place where they want to be.”

When police raids were conducted on the houses – and they often were, said Olivier – it was only about a week before the girls found their way back to them.

“It’s a big issue in this area,” he said. – Additional reporting by Kristen van Schie.

Celeb talk drives sales of sex toys

Smartphones have long been a must-have accessory, but sex toys are quickly becoming one of the world’s most popular gadgets.

 

 

Experts believe the willingness of stars such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Jane Fonda to divulge their bedroom secrets is behind a recent surge in the sales of “pleasure goods”.

 

 

Global sales of erotic accessories are to set to rise to 400 million.

 

 

While some of Hollywood’s most famous leading ladies have opened up about their sex lives in the new TV series, The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet, in the UK Channel 4 has just screened a documentary More Sex Please, We’re British, focusing on its biggest online sex toy retailer, lovehoney.co.uk.

 

 

Originally founded in 2002 by Neal Slateford and Richard Longhurst, Lovehoney offers an array of goods from adult toys and sexy lingerie to erotic literature and games. It has seen its sales increase each year to a current total of £16 million (R205m).

 

 

Slateford, a former record producer for Kylie Minogue, stated that celebrities opening up about their sex lives had been a key sales driver.

.

 

 

He said: “A famous celebrity will give a big interview about their sex life or their love of sex toys and we will see a flurry of sales afterwards.

 

 

“It all started with Sex In The City – which was incredibly liberating for women, especially after Charlotte became a virtual recluse after buying a rabbit vibrator at New York’s famous Pleasure Chest sex store.

“Suddenly ordinary women weren’t afraid to talk about their sex lives and their use of sex toys.”

 

 

Global sales of vibrators and other sex toys soared to £5.5bn a year and are to set to rise to £40bn by 2020 – matching those of smartphones.

 

 

Slateford added: “It’s great that celebrities are being more honest about their sex lives. There has been such a huge change in people’s attitudes over the last 10 years.”

 

 

While sales of sex toys had been held back in the past due to an association with the sleazy, male-dominated pornography industry, women were becoming far less shy about sexual aids.

 

 

A report by retail analysts Hewson confirmed there had been a revolution in the past 30 years, driven by the fact that women have a more powerful position in the home and work place.

 

 

“Celebrity endorsement of sex toys by star such as Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria and Halle Berry act as validators for brands and women alike,” researchers said.

 

 

Several female celebrities talked openly about their favourite sexual positions in US TV interviews screened recently.

 

 

Zoe Saldana, 33, star of Avatar and Pirates of the Caribbean, said: “I like missionary and I like being on my knees too. And I love being on top or standing up.”

 

 

Meanwhile, the X Factor star Tulisa blushed when her rabbit vibrator accidentally went off in her suitcase when she was picking up her baggage at Miami airport.

 

 

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria, 37, revealed that some of the best sex she had ever experienced was with a sex toy.

 

 

She said in an interview: “I own two and I have a Rabbit one. I give that as a gift all the time. It’s the best gift to give – an orgasm.”

 

 

Teri Hatcher, 47, also from Desperate Housewives, said: “To be honest, I don’t know what I want a male for. I have some fabulous electronics to use instead. And any woman who tells you she doesn’t is lying.” – Daily Mail

‘Cuddle chemical’ the new Viagra?

NEWS Leave a comment

London – Taking a chemical that helps mothers bond with their babies may not immediately strike you as the best way to improve a man’s libido.

But oxytocin, the so-called “cuddle hormone”, can dramatically improve male sexual performance, researchers have found – producing results on a par with Viagra.

One of the scientists behind the discovery and development of Viagra was so impressed that he described an oxytocin-based treatment as having “blockbuster potential”.

Oxytocin is a hormone naturally made in the body in both men and women, and is involved in sex, sexual attraction, trust and confidence.

Extra doses of the “cuddle chemical” are released into a mother’s blood during labour – triggering the production of breast milk – and flood the brain during breastfeeding, helping mother and baby bond.

It has recently been shown to make men more sensitive and in tune with others’ feelings.

Researchers in California published a paper on the hormone’s effects after giving it to a married father of three who suffered from attention deficit disorder and had difficulty in maintaining social relationships.

His relationship with his wife was also in difficulties, and conventional drugs either were not suitable or had unwanted side-effects.

Spraying the hormone up his nose twice a day did little to help his social phobia but did wonders for his love life, the Journal of Sexual Medicine reports.

His libido went from “very weak” to “somewhat strong”, his sexual arousal from “somewhat difficult” to “somewhat easy” and the act itself was easier to perform and more satisfying.

The spray also produced emotional benefits. The man said he found it easier to be affectionate towards his wife, while she said he wanted to be closer to her and was more tactile.

But not all its effects may be quite so welcome.

The man, who is identified only as Mr B, also hugged a work colleague in a “very out of character” way. At the time the paper was written, the man had not experienced any other side-effects, despite using the oxytocin spray twice a day for several months.

However, the positive effects vanished if he stopped using the spray.

The University of California researchers said the improvements were ‘in keeping’ with those of Viagra.

They concluded: “These findings support trials directly examining the use of oxytocin to treat problems in this vital aspect of human function, especially in the context of stable, loving relationships.”

Others said that as Viagra does not work in all cases, there is a great medical need for a new drug.

Mike Wyllie, one of the team of scientists that discovered and developed Viagra for pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, said that for some men who have had surgery, the little blue pills can work in as few as 10 percent of cases.

With sales of Viagra and similar pills reaching almost £2.5-billion year worldwide, there are billions to be made.

Dr Wyllie said that a drug based on oxytocin could have “blockbuster potential”.

However, he cautioned that drug watchdogs may be cautious about approving a medicine that has emotional as well as physical effects. – Daily Mail

‘Secret Service man refused to pay for sex’

IOL pic may11 secret service colombia

Washington – Nearly four weeks after the Secret Service prostitution scandal erupted, United States government investigators on Thursday interviewed the Colombia prostitute at the centre of the affair, which cost eight officers and supervisors their jobs and became an election-year embarrassment for the Obama administration.

Dania Londono Suarez voluntarily met with investigators at the US Embassy in Madrid, agency spokesperson Edwin Donovan said. He said the Secret Service investigation was nearly complete. More than 200 people, including most of the women involved, have been interviewed in the United States and Colombia.

Londono mysteriously disappeared days after the incident and could not be reached by investigators.

In a radio and television interview from Madrid on May 4, Londono said she works as a prostitute in Colombia, catering to foreigners. She said after leaving Colombia, she spent some time in Dubai before going to Madrid.

Londono said she met a drunken Secret Service employee at a club in Cartagena, Colombia, last month and escorted him back to his hotel after a night of partying.

“I told him it would be $800 and he said that was fine and not a problem,” Londono said in Spanish. The next morning, however, the officer refused to pay, offering her only about $30 for a taxi. Londono said she was insulted and tried for several hours to get paid, eventually asking a local police officer at the hotel for help.

She said the argument ended when other Secret Service officers at the Hotel Caribe paid her about $250. The officers were in Colombia in advance of President Barack Obama’s arrival for a South American summit.

Prostitution is legal in Colombia.

A dozen employees have been implicated since the April 12 argument became public. Eight people, including two supervisors, have lost their jobs. The agency is moving to revoke permanently the security clearance for one other employee, and three others have been cleared of serious wrongdoing. Twelve military personnel also have been implicated.

Londono left Colombia a few days after the incident, and she said last week that she had not been contacted by the Secret Service or anyone from the US government. She described the officers involved as “fools” and said the whole situation could have been avoided if the man she spent the night with had just paid her.

“There wouldn’t have been a problem if he had paid me money,” Londono said.

Since the incident in Colombia, there have been several media reports of similar Secret Service misconduct in the past, including allegations that officers hired strippers and prostitutes during a presidential trip to El Salvador last year.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told a US Senate panel last month that there have been no reports of such misconduct filed with the agency’s Office of Professional Responsibility in the last two and a half years. She later said there was no evidence to corroborate the allegations from El Salvador.

Donovan declined to discuss the reports from El Salvador on Thursday, but he has said that any credible reports of misconduct would be investigated.

Since the scandal emerged, Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan has issued new conduct rules for officers and agents travelling abroad. In some cases, chaperones will be sent on trips, and employees will be barred from visiting disreputable establishments, drinking heavily or within 10 hours of a shift. The new rules also bar employees from bringing foreigners into their hotel rooms. – Sapa-AP
