A woman undergoing fertility treatment became pregnant with the wrong embryos after what appears to be a clinic error.
An amorous man in a foreign land has been jailed over what a pitchfork-wielding* mob of a dozen neighbors call sex so loud that it's a public nuisance. The man claims he's being unfairly persecuted for being too good at sex. Guess which European country. Just guess.
The trailer for The Face of an Angel, an adaptation of the book by Barbie Latza Nardeau called Angel Face about the Amanda Knox saga, is out and it is as salacious and exploitative as any slapdash Lifetime movie about a recent murder trial except it features some pretty notable talent like Daniel Bruhl, Cara…

At a recent meeting of Italian Parliament, representative of Lega Nord (the Northern League) Gianluca Buonanno argued against basic benefits for immigrants (swell) by putting on blackface during the proceedings (sweller). "To get money, perhaps we all need to make ourselves darker," he announced to the Chamber of…

In 2011, Pietro Lamberti, a 60-year-old social services worker in Catanzaro, Italy, was convicted of having sex with a minor. The girl in question was 11 years old, and Lamberti was sentenced to five years in prison. But wait! Now, Lamberti's conviction has been overturned. Sex with an 11-year-old? No harm, no foul.…

Ancient Roman frescoes featuring nude ancient people doing the sex to each other (as well as gods and animals) have been updated for modern sensibilities at a new art exhibit in Italy. How have they been updated, you ask? With naked modern people, of course!
The CEO of Barilla, who a month and change ago found himself in hot, heavily salted water for saying he'd never include same sex couples in Barilla advertising because ew gayz! has changed his tune, and the company is now establishing a "diversity and inclusion board" for reasons that I'm assuming are 100% about just…

Somewhere near the top of a long list entitled Things No One Wants from Pop Culture sits the following entry: “softcore porn movie about Silvio Berlusconi’s bunga bunga parties directed by the dude who did Caligula.” Such a movie seems like an all-around BAD IDEA, and yet, speaking to a small herd of reporters on…
Ah, August. As we learned through repeat viewings of The Seven Year Itch, it's really the perfect time for the married man to let loose and let his wife do the same, having her run off to that beautiful second home, as he lives it up in the city, spending sweaty nights between the sheets with his much younger sexy…
