A city known for its conservative stance, Cincinnati is home to Citizens for Community Values, a group that held a conference earlier and is insisting Citybeat remove its classified ads. “There is no question that the adult classifieds of their print and online editions consist primarily of solicitations for prostitution and promotion of businesses that front for prostitution,” said Phil Burress, president of CCV. Feeling that Citybeat’s First Amendment rights are being violated, the editor and copublisher, John Fox, took the matter to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. The representing attorney, H. Louis Sirkin, named over 30 individuals in the suit, which includes law enforcement officers, prosecutors, members of the clergy and CCV. Sirkin is also involved in another case on behalf of a Hustler store manager, challenging Ohio’s sex offender laws. “The involvement of government officials, especially law enforcement types, presents a clear threat to our ability to run our business as we choose,” said Fox. Such government officials include Hamilton County Sheriff Simon Leis, Cincinnati Police Chief Tom Streicher and City Councilman Chris Monzel. http://www.sexherald.com/adult-news/alternative_newspaper_suing_over_sex_ads__07,20,08.html 2008-07-23 During a holiday on the Greek island Zakynthos, police arrested nine British women, six British men and six Greek men as they participated in an oral sex competition.

Though the Internet is not responsible for the reemergence of the disease, it is certainly facilitating the spread of syphilis. http://www.sexherald.com/adult-news/syphilis_on_the_rise_for_homosexual_males__07,19,08.html 2008-07-21 Backed by Massachusetts’ Democratic leaders, the repeal to a 1913 law passed through the Senate, allowing the state to grant marriage licenses to gay couples that come from out of state.

Launched by City Hall and ran until May 31, the hotline featured actresses reading Victorian erotica for 39 euro cents (53 U.S. cents) a minute. http://www.sexherald.com/adult-news/money_from_librarys_sex_hotline_funds_its_renovations__07,12,08.html 2008-07-16 In Tukwila, Washington, the coffees being served at Lori Bowden’s Cowgirls Espresso stands come with a smile and some hot exposure, as her baristas are skimming the line of appropriate dress codes. Though the community of 16,000 is stirring in protest, Mayor Pete Lewis can’t do much other than send out a warning letter to the shop; as long as the breasts from the areola down are covered, no crime as been committed. That doesn’t mean the city of Auburn isn’t maintaining a close eye. http://www.sexherald.com/adult-news/hot_baristas_brewing_coffee_in_seattle_areas__07,13,08.html 2008-07-16
