Curious: Rape by deception
(Editor’s note: the edmontonian now continues its sex-focused column. Not always the best to leave up on your work computer while you wander to the coffee machine.
Imagine this.
It’s a beautiful summer night in Edmonton, a man and woman meet at a bar downtown. The man introduces himself, but gives a false name to “protect” his identity. After some idle chatter, and a bit of random flirting, he and the woman go and have sex in a parking lot.
It’s consensual, and even if it’s not the best sex ever, both adults have
said yes.
After, he quickly dresses and departs before she has a chance to figure out the details of the rest of his life. The name is there but the rest is a mystery.
Later on she discovers, through her social network, that this man has
lied about who he was and she presses charges. The man, is sentenced to
18 months in jail.
Impossible? (more…)
Sexy Craigslist
(Editor’s note: Over here at the edmontonian we think Edmonton is a sexy city. But sexy isn’t always safe for work, so take note.)
“Attention Walmart shoppers. Were you aware that the love of your life could be waiting for you in the next aisle? Please be mindful of this fact and keep your eyes open as you peruse past the electronics department. Oh, and if need be, we have a sale on condoms and lube in Aisle Three. Thank you for shopping at Walmart. We’re here for all your needs.”
Oh Walmart, what can’t I pick up from you? From Coffins to baby clothes, all lovingly made in China, you truly are the one-stop shop. I’m sure if I tried really hard I could also pick-up an STI from you…but that’s another experiment for another day.
Love though? That’s a whole different concept. After all, my life isn’t a romantic comedy in where I turn the corner and find Mr. Right buying the same brand of cat food. According to craigslist (missed connections), Cupid is always shooting his arrows from high above those rolled-back prices.
Doing a quick survey, there seems to be a higher percentage of people finding their soul mate in some areas then others. While Edmonton and Calgary had four “missed connections” each, Phoenix, Arizona, alone, had 44. Toronto (17) and Las Vegas (11) fell around the median, and the rest of the cities were either a few higher or lower.
Perhaps Phoenix (which seems to be a very popular vacation spot for Edmontonians) has a certain love of cheap prices which in turn leads to cheap romances. This phenomenon which I like to call “Walmart Love” has a chance to increase and spread over the next decade as Walmart continue to penetrate the four corners of the world. While I can’t show you every missed connection about lost love at Walmart here are a few of my faves from the store, and other places.
Until next time, keeping it smart, single and sexy I’m Little Miss Curious.
Enjoy.

20-something Diaries
(Editor’s note: We’re always up for something new here at the edmontonian. So we’ll take a peek at Edmonton’s sexy side in our new feature. It’s not always going to be safe for work.)
Lollipop love, braining, cock-sucking, wetting-the whistle, blow-jobs…I’m on my way to the Penis Pleasing workshop held at the Travelling Tickle Trunk and I’m racking my brains for other synonyms for the act of fellatio.
Ever since the Clinton administration, the whole debate of oral sex being “sex” has been on the table, but I’m not here to discuss my views on this matter. I am here to take a workshop. Being a 20-something female, I like to think I’m pretty experienced at this, but one can never be too educated when it comes to the topic of sex and I’m hoping to learn a few new things. (more…)
