Tourist sex on Philippine beach causes stir

Authorities are mulling a ban on sex on the beaches of the famed Boracay island.

MANILA - Philippine authorities may ban sex on the world-famous beaches of Boracay island after a television crew filmed two naked couples making out in public on New Year’s Day, the local mayor said Thursday.

The clip showed one pair apparently having sex on the beach and the other locked in a passionate kiss in the water, with the woman’s bare breasts clearly shown above the waterline.

he ABS-CBN television network said it filmed the apparently Western couples at 2:00 am on New Year’s Day following a large beachside party on Boracay to usher in 2011.

“We’re thinking of a ‘no sex on the beach’ (rule) so the other tourists would not be scandalised,” John Yap, mayor of Malay town that has jurisdiction over Boracay, told ABS-CBN in an interview posted on its website this week. Yap said authorities were aware of the sensitivities of the devoutly Roman Catholic nation.

“It’s an isolated case and quite difficult to control but, if police had seen them, they would have been arrested for public scandal,” he said.

In a brief phone call with AFP on Thursday, Yap confirmed the quotes.

Filipina film star and talk show television host Ruffa Gutierrez, who said she was vacationing with her two young children at Boracay over the New Year, expressed disgust at the holiday makers’ over-exuberance.

“I don’t want my children to be doing those things (public sex acts) one day,” she told ABS-CBN.

“For me, it’s just not right.”

Boracay draws about 650,000 tourists every year, or about 22 percent of the country’s total visitor traffic, according to tourist ministry data.

PETA Holds Naked Shower Protest in Hollywood – And Causes Car Crash

To be fair, it’s not something you’d expect to see while driving – even in LA. Cameras were rolling yesterday when animal rights group PETA caused a car crash during a naked shower protest.

The driver had been distracted by the beautiful, naked models soaping themselves in a makeshift shower on the side of the road.

He ploughed his grey sedan straight into the back of a white pick-up truck at a stoplight in front of him.

CBS cameras captured the entire incident. Fortunately the damage appeared to be minimal, and the only thing wounded seemed to be the driver’s pride.

PETA’s models were baring all and showering in public to promote a vegan lifestyle.

The group claims that by giving up just one pound of meat, Americans could save up to 2,463 gallons of water.

That’s six months of shower water, PETA claimed.

But the American Meat Association hit back in comments to CBS, claiming that the industry is constantly trying to find ways to economize on water.

‘Sometimes, when people do these sorts of carbon-footprint analysis, the obvious answer is the opposite of what they thought it was,’ spokesman Jeremy Russell told the network.

‘Water use is actually quite expensive for meat companies. There is a constant pressure, an economic pressure on them, to become more and more efficient in how they use water.’
