Is Extreme Sex On The Rise?
An Italian man is on trial for the death of his girlfriend during a Japanese bondage scene. This article explains what happens during ‘Shibari’—and claims that extreme sex is on the rise in Europe. The evidence? A poll by the Italian newspaper La Repubblica. Supposedly, one in 10 Italian couples practice extreme sex, which is defined as sex that could put one partner’s life at risk—and even those who aren’t doing things that could end in death are still risqué. Does any half-aware person really believe that people tell the truth when they are asked about their sex lives? For all we know, that percentage could be one in 5 — or one in next-to-none.
