Police in Germany say a man has died after he and two others blew up a condom machine and he was hit in the head by a flying piece of metal.
Officers were alerted to the explosion Friday in Schoeppingen, near the Dutch border, and found cash and condom packets lying on the ground apparently untouched.
A local hospital informed police that a 29-year-old had died after being brought in by two other men. They initially said he had fallen down stairs, but police said Monday one of them later admitted the victim’s injuries were related to the explosion.
They say the three men apparently got into a car after triggering the explosion, but the 29-year-old didn’t close his door and was hit by debris when the machine exploded.
What a way to go?! Jesus, imagine having to explain this to the guy’s family. It reminds me of the Darwin Awards. Mostly, though, I want to know why they were blowing up a condom machine in the first place? Did they really need condoms ASAP? Were they religious freaks protesting contraception? Were they after the quarters? So many questions left answered.
A petition started by a porn star to push for sex education in schools has received almost 30,000 signatures online.
The campaign, being headed up by ‘Italian stallion’ Rocco Siffredi, is attempting to bring the lessons into schools in Italy where very few teach the subject.
In a petition addressed to Italian Education Minister, Stefania Giannini, the 51-year-old adult film star who has appeared in almost 2,000 porn films and has also enjoyed a career in mainstream media, wrote: “I wanted to launch this appeal because sex is a magnificent thing.
“I put forth my name and my experience, I make myself fully available to go into Italian schools and personally promote this initiative.”
The reason for the campaign appears to lie in a comment he made, in which he said young people were lacking alternatives to porn to learn about sex.
I’ve been guilty of spreading the idea that porn could serve as sex education, but in reality porn is entertainment. It’s not supposed to teach people about sex. If porn is the only option you’ve got when it comes to sex ed, you’re sex education will be sorely lacking.
Possibly the very biggest story was gender and the increasing prominence and gender-fluid discourses, [said writer and sex activist Carol Queen] and people and institutions trying to grapple with that. I just read something about pronouns and courts this morning, and looked at links I had squirreled away… There’s a boatload.
Another thing that’s really interesting is [changes in] sex work, particularly the Amnesty International decriminalization recommendation. That’s pretty significant.
2015 was a big year in sex and gender news, what story held the most impact for you? Sound off in the comments. Personally, I’m really pleased about the way people are starting to get comfortable with conversations about gender, sex, and sexual orientation and the differences between all three. It’s not all about what’s in your pants and heteronormative ideas of masculinity and femininity and that’s pretty awesome.
