These guys sound like they were mentally retarded and watched too much hentai porn... How does this sort of thing still happen in this day and age?


Dear Nicknack,
Yeah, my sister inlaw was pretty appalled and she is very OUT with the fact that she is into erotic submission, and as you say, is a very responsible person with a well respected job. I am not sure I am totally understanding of anyone who is into a sexual thing where there must be a party standing by in case things get out of hand and one party is in danger. Even consensually this does not sound like a very healthy thing.But, yes, to actually kidnap people is truly a steo beyond merely unhealthy.
Regards,
A'isha

No one who actually attends such an even is going to be under the impression that it's a reflection of reality.

The harem room will probably one of the more tame events going on there.

Worry more about untrained and half-trained dancers performing at restaurants and state fairs and community cultural events. That is where people will really form a bad opinion of the dance.

I agree with Sedonia. There's no need to get my panties tied in a knot unless that's the point!

I haven't seen him do that - I wonder if it's similar to the dance with a lasso that Mahmoud Reda performs in the film Mid-Year Holiday?

It would seen that the insatiable desire of Brits for mainstream venues to buy their hardcore porn DVDs has spawned yet another giant sex shop, Passion 2008: Passion ::: For adult entertainment, fetish wear, burlesque fashion, sex toys, erotic photography, adult DVD’s, exotic lingerie, designer corsetry, naughty books, gay entertainment, exhibition, expo, London, UK.

"The Passion show has it all and more, mixing exotic burlesque erotica with the crème de la crème of risqué retail"

"ravishing and decadent R18 (hardcore) DVDs for sale" - I'm not sure those are the words I'd use to describe hardcore porn and I'm unimpressed with these efforts to persuade the public that hardcore porn is all pink and fluffy.

Well, we really wouldn't know if they're ravishing and decadent unless we watch them, now would we?

Wait! Wait! You forgot the Wombat belly dancers from the other thread!

Personally, I vote for Hardcore Morris-belly dance fusion sung by a chinchilla.
Hardcore Morris Dancers - Joel Veitch rathergood.com music- MC Skibadee
the only thing missing from this video is me in my wombat bedlah.

Wow, this thread put me in a strange mood!

I'm fully in the Sedonia camp on this issue (yes, you have a Camp now)!

I have seen a 'harem room' of the type described in the event (it means a totally different kind of room in fetish circles than it does to us forum users!) and although I did not venture in, and although I cannot speak for the girl with the snake, trust me when I tell you that absolutely nothing bellydance-related happens in there, and absolutely no one involved will think that it has anything to do with real bellydance!
