NATIONAL JOURNALIST SEEKS PEOPLE TO RELATE POSITIVE EXPERIENCES ABOUT OPEN RELATIONSHIPS

Huw J. Williams says:

"I am a journalist researching an article on open relationships. I would like some help finding out more about the issues involved. The starting concept I have is 'Open relationships, the Last Taboo', that while these relationships have every likelihood to be as stable and loving as traditional monogamous relationships, they are often considered by society as somehow seedy or substandard. The article would explore how open relationships can work to produce long term supportive relationships. Please could anyone wishing to help get in touch with me. Of course anonymity is ensured. I am a former BBC reporter and write for the broadsheets and magazines on a range of issues. This is a serious feature and not sensational."

DASHING DR DAVID SEEKS FANCY FREE DOM TO JOIN HIM ON TRIP TO OTHER WORLD KINGDOM - SEPTEMBER 06

This is an unmissable opportunity for some expenses-paid debauchery (a free holiday!) for the right person. Our cheeky protagonist says:

"My name is David. I'm a writer currently researching a travel memoir that takes in ten 'utopias' in the West. My travels have taken me, so far, from a hippy 'freetown' in Copenhagen and Findhorn in Scotland to a community of 'time travellers' in the Italian Alps. For the next stop I wish to visit the OWK (Other World Kingdom) in the Czech Republic.

In case you don't know, it's a female-run fetish utopia that has been in existence for over ten years and is located in a castle, an hour's drive from Prague.

As a recently single man, sub, dashingly handsome and active in the fetish scene, rather than visit OWK alone, it would be ideal (and more fun) for me to travel with a friendly dom and use OWK as a B&B. This would also allow 'time out' from play for me to get some writing / investigations done. Also, women have free run of the place; men do not. You would be, therefore, a rather kinky Dr Watson to my submissive Sherlock Holmes.

The trip would be paid for of course (thank you Arts Council!), minus the odd expenses and would entail a maximum of three nights away from the UK.

I can guarantee we'd have a laugh, a great adventure and it'd be something to tell the grandchildren."

If interested, contact David on 07811 709099 or email davidcheeky@hotmail.com for more details. P.S. I don't always sport a drawn-on pencil moustache.
